AIR BAGS
STARTING ON OR AROUND AUGUST 2011 MY AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON. IT HAS COME ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY SINCE THEN. THE FIX IS TO JIGGLE THE CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT AND THEN ZIP TIE IT. THAT NORMALLY LAST ABOUT 6 MONTHS OR MORE BUT IT ALWAYS COMES BACK. I AM CONCERNED THAT MY AIR BAG WILL NOT DEPLOY IN A SEVERE FRONTAL IMPACT. THE DEALER IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND SAYS IT IS SOMETHING I AM GOING LIVE WITH. THE PROBLEM I HAVE WITH THAT IS I AM AFRAID IT MIGHT BE SOMETHING I AM GOING TO HAVE TO DIE WITH. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
AFTER FUELING MY 2008 CORVETTE, I NOTICED THE STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE PRESENT ON THE INSIDE OF THE CAR. I DIDN'T GIVE IT MUCH THOUGHT AS THE SMELL WENT AWAY AS I DROVE. BUT, THE NEXT TIME I GOT INTO THE CAR, THE SMELL WAS THERE AGAIN. EACH SUBSEQUENT TIME I GOT INTO THE CAR, THE SMELL WAS PRESENT UNTIL THE TANK WAS HALF EMPTY. AT THAT POINT THE SMELL WENT AWAY, UNTIL I FILLED THE TANK AGAIN AND THE PROCESS BEGAN ANEW. I HAVE BLOGGED WITH MANY OTHER OWNERS OF VARIOUS YEARS CORVETTE MODELS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. I AM AFRAID THE FUMES THAT CREATE THE SMELL COULD ULTIMATELY IGNITE AND CAUSE A SERIOUS FIRE. AS MENTIONED, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. MANY OTHERS HAVE EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
