FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JUST PURCHASED THIS USED CAR WITH LESS THAN 3000 MILES. I HAPPENED TO COME ACROSS THE FUEL LEAK ISSUE IN ONLINE FORUM. SINCE I REC'D INCOMPLETE SERVICE RECORDS, I DO NOT KNOW IF THE REPAIR HAS BEEN DONE TO MY CAR. THIS IS JUST NOT RIGHT WHEN TH EPROBLEM COULD CREATE A FUEL LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST. IF THE PROBLEM WERE MADE A RECALL, THEN GM WOULD BE FORCED TO NOTIFY ME AS THE CURRENT OWNER SO THAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE FIXED BEFORE THERE IS A FIRE RESULTING FROM FUEL LEAK.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WITHOUT THE ABILITY TO SEARCH A DATABASE FOR TSB IMPLEMENTATION, I HAVE NO WAY TO DETERMINE IF MY USED CAR PURCHASE HAS BEEN FIXED PER THE MANUFACTURER RECOMMENDATION OUTLINED IN THE TSB. ON MY PARTICULAR VEHICLE, I AM NOT ABLE TO ASCERTAIN IF THE FUEL LEAK ISSUE WAS REPAIRED!! TSB IMPLEMENTATION NEEDS TO BE HANDLED SIMILAR TO SAFETY RECALLS TO PREVENT SERIOUS PROBLEMS FOR UNSUSPECTING USED CAR BUYERS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
RECENTLY, 03/01/2021, FILLING GAS TANK TO OVER 1/2 FULL ON MY PARKED 2007 C6 CORVETTE, WITH 30,360 MILES, PARKED VEHICLE CAUSED STRONG INTERIOR GAS ODOR. ON FURTHER INVESTIGATION AND COMMUNICATION WITH GM, I WAS INFORMED FUEL PUMP WAS A KNOWN ISSUE. THE FUEL PUMP WAS THEN REDESIGNED TO SOLVE THIS ISSUE; HOWEVER, REPLACEMENT OF FAULTY FUEL PUMP WAS ONLY GIVEN A WARRANTY EXTENSION INSTEAD OF RECALL. CONSEQUENTLY, I WAS NEVER GIVEN A NOTICE OF THE DANGEROUS CONDITION THAT EXISTED IN MY VEHICLE, WHICH IS NOW BEYOND THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY PERIOD FOR SPECIFIC PARTS; AND, AS AN OWNER, I WAS NEVER NOTICED OF THIS KNOWN ISSUE BECAUSE IT IS NOT REQUIRED UNLESS IT IS A RECALL. APPARENTLY THE CAR HAS TWO TANKS THAT ARE SHARED. WHEN OVER 1/2 FILLED, GASOLINE CAN LEAK AND PUDDLE ON TOP OF THE TANKS. WHEN MOVING, THE GASOLINE CAN THEN LEAK DOWN ON THE HOT EXHAUST AND CAUSE A FIRE. I AM NOW FEARFUL OF DRIVING MY CAR DUE TO THE GASOLINE VAPORS, AND WAS ADVISED BY VAN CHEVROLET TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED FOR REPAIR, AS THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE A FIRE OR EXPLOSION, OR THE FUMES COULD CAUSE THE DRIVER TO PASS OUT AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR IS OVER $2300-$2500! I WOULD HAVE HAD IT REPAIRED IF IT WERE A RECALL BECAUSE I WOULD HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE HAZARD. CAR WAS PARKED WHEN I FIRST NOTICED THE PROBLEM AND HAVE NOT DRIVEN IT SINCE. THE RISK OF A FIRE, EXPLOSION, OR ACCIDENT IS TOO GREAT UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED! GM ASSIGNED CASE# [XXX], BUT IS CURRENTLY INFORMING THAT IT IS NO LONGER COVERED. SINCE NO NOTIFICATION WAS GIVEN TO OWNERS, OWNERS WERE NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUE UNTIL TOO LATE, SAVING GM MILLIONS OF DOLLARS, AS THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN RESPONSIBLE FOR REPLACING LARGE NUMBERS OF THE FAULTY FUEL PUMP HAD A RECALL BEEN ISSUED WHICH REQUIRES REGISTERING RECALLS WITH THE GM DEALERS, AND NOTIFYING THE OWNERS.*DT*JB INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).”

POWER TRAIN
WHILE DRIVING THE CLUTCH PEDAL WENT TO THE FLOOR AND MY STANDARD 2007 CORVETTE COULD NOT BE SHIFTED. CAR WAS FLAT-BEDDED TO DEALER AS CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IN HEAVY FREEWAY TRAFFIC. MY VEHICLE HAD 8656 MILES APPROX. APPARENTLY GM ISSUED SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS PROBLEM, REDESIGNED THE CLUTCH MASTER CYLINDER AND ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES THERE WAS NO RECALL. GM WAS TO HAVE NOTICED ALL OWNERS OF THIS PROBLEM BUT DID NOT IN MY CASE. WHEN I CALLED GM THEY SAID THAT THEY WERE SORRY BUT WOULD NOT INDEMNIFY ME FOR THE $2,912.18 COST TO REPLACE THE MASTER AND SLAVE CLUTCH CYLINDERS. IN MY CASE I WAS IN A PARKING LOT IN MOTION. SO LUCKILY I AM STILL BREATHING.
