FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I HAD JUST PUT GAS IN THE CAR. PARKED IT AND LATER NOTICED A GAS FUEL ODOR IN MY GARAGE. AFTER RESEACHING IT ON LINE, THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A FUEL TANK ISSUE WITH THE CAR AND GM IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBLITY FOR IT.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STEERING
THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY. PROCEED TO START VEHICLE. STEERING COLUMN LOCKS UP. HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES. I AM THE THIRD OWNER OF THIS VEHICLE. IN RESEARCHING INFORMATION REGARDING PAST RECALLS APPARENTLY HEDRICK'S DEALERSHIP OF FRESNO, CA COMPLETED WORK BUT IN ASKING WHAT THEY COMPLETED, I WAS INFORMED THAT ALL PAST COMPUTER DATA WAS PURGED FROM THEIR FILES SO THEY CANNOT TELL ME WHAT WAS COMPLETED. I THEN CALLED GM TO GET INFORMATION BUT AFTER TALKING TO THREE DIFFERENT PEOPLE I WAS TOLD THEY WERE NOT ALLOWED TO GIVE ME ANY INFORMATION AS TO WHAT WAS COMPLETED. I REFERENCED A GM REPORT ENTITLED "04006C - PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL - FEBRUARY 8, 2006" IN TALKING WITH THE GM REPRESENTATIVES AND I WAS TOLD THE REPORT DIDN'T EXIST. THE REPORT WAS FOUND AT HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV. THIS REPORT REPLACED BULLETIN 04006B - NOVEMBER 23, 2004. IN READING ON NHTSA, SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS EXPERIENCED THE SAME VEHICLE ISSUES WITH STEERING COLUMN. PLUS, WITH WORK BEING COMPLETED BUT STILL HAVING SAME ISSUES. CAN YOU ASSIST ME IN OBTAINING THE RECALL WORK COMPLETION REPORT ON MY VEHICLE? HEDRICK'S INDICATED THAT I WOULD HAVE TO BRING THE VEHICLE IN FOR A DIAGNOSTIC REVIEW AT THE COST OF $165.00 AND THEN GO FROM THERE. IN READING "04006C - PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL - FEBRUARY 8, 2006" IT INDICATES, "DEALERS ARE TO SERVICE ALL VEHICLES SUBJECT TO THIS RECALL AT NO CHARGE TO CUSTOMERS, REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE, AGE OF VEHICLE, OR OWNERSHIP, FROM THIS TIME FORWARD." PLUS, WHATEVER WORK HEDRICK'S COMPLETED THE WORK WASN'T SUFFICIENT AS THE ISSUE OF THE STEERING COLUMN LOCKING UP CONTINUES.

AIR BAGS
AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON DUE TO FAULTY ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR UNDERNEATH DRIVER POWER SEAT. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE THAT GM IS AWARE OF. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL BY GM DUE TO BEING A LIFE SAFETY SYSTEM.

WHEELS
BOTH REAR RIMS CRACKED. NO ROAD HAZARDS INVOLVED. SIMPLE MANUFACTURING DEFECTS. VERY COMPLICATED ISSUE BECAUSE GM REFUSES TO REPLACE RIMS & I HAD TO PAY FOR AFTERMARKET RIMS FOR $4000. WHAT IS WORSE IS THAT THE DEALERSHIP BLAMED THE CRACKED RIMS ON MY DRIVING HABITS. IN 26 YEARS OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER HAD A DAMAGED RIM ON ANY OF MY VEHICLES. I RECEIVED INFO ABOUT THE CRACKED RIMS FROM A FELLOW CORVETTE OWNER WHO ALSO DISCOVERED HIS RIMS WERE CRACKED. SO I INSPECTED MY RIMS AS WELL. SURE ENOUGH, CRACKED. MARY BARRA FOR PRISON!

WHEELS
I WAS DRIVING DOWN I-20 AND MY TIRE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE RIGHT REAR TIRE. I TOOK THE CAR TO DISCOUNT TIRE AND THE TECHNICIAN PULLED THE TIRE AND SAID THAT THE RIM WAS CRACKED AND SHOWED ME THE CRACK. I BELIEVE IF I HAD DISREGARDED THE TIRE WARNING AND JUST ADDED AIR I COULD HAVE HAD AN ACCIDENT IF THE RIM DISINTEGRATED WHILE DRIVING.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. STARTING ABOUT A MONTH AGO I WOULD OFTEN NOTICE THE SMELL OF GASOLINE IN MY GARAGE. AFTER INSPECTION, NONE OF MY OTHER VEHICLES ARE LEAKING FUEL. AFTER SEARCHING FOR A LEAK, I TURNED TO CORVETTE FORUM, WHICH HAS A DISCUSSION ON FUEL LEAKS IN THE 2008 MODEL YEAR CORVETTE. EVIDENTLY WHEN THE GAS TANK IS 1/2 OR MORE FILLED WITH FUEL, THERE IS A LEAK WHICH DEPOSITS RAW GAS ON THE TOP OF THE GAS TANK, FROM WHICH IT DRIPS OR EVAPORATES. I CONSIDER THIS LEAK A FIRE HAZARD, AND URGE NHTSA TO REQUIRE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PROMPT ATTENTION TO MY REQUEST.

THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DEPRESSING OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED TO MOVE FORWARD AND VEERED OFF TO THE RIGHT WITH THE SERVICE ACTIVE HANDLING WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL.

WHEELS
I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OEM WHEELS ON MY 2019 CORVETTE Z06 BENDING/WARPING/CRACKING UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. I HAVE SPENT MONEY HAVING THE WHEELS "STRAIGHTENED". I PAID TO REPLACE ONE WHEEL THAT WAS CRACKED AND LOST AIR PRESSURE. I CONTACTED CHEVROLET/GM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY INDICATE THAT IT IS A ROAD HAZARD ISSUE. I COULD BELIEVE THIS IF IT WAS ONLY 1 OR 2 WHEELS, BUT NOT ALL 4. THIS IS THE SUBJECT OF AT LEAST ONE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. I SEE REPORTS OF WHEELS LOSING AIR PRESSURE. APPARENTLY A BENT WHEEL CAN FATIGUE AND CRACK CAUSING LOSS OF TIRE PRESSURE. THE SYMPTOMS OF THE BENT WHEEL APPEAR AS ROAD NOISE AND ARE NOT OBVIOUS TO THE EVERYDAY DRIVER.
