FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
warning light came on checked code p0442 came up stating a small vapor leak in fuel system. replaced fuel cap , smoke test and found that the evap vent solenoid was leaking. Remove and replace fuel tank vent valve program module. Still smelled fuel. Took vette to a dealership had them do a multipoint inspection they pinpointed and diagnose the problem as the left side fuel tank module and all necessary gaskets and seals needed to be replace at a out of this world price. I believe this to be a safety risk.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Strong fuel smell inside car as well as in garage. Drivers side tank does appear to have a leak when filled. Doing a search online it appears this is a common issue with this vehicle and that a recall/repair was created for owners however my 2007 (not the original owner) I suspect has since expired. In my opinion any defects that puts the owner and personal property at risk should be covered regardless of age.

WHEELS
On 11/29/2023 I brought my 2017 Chevy Corvette Grand Sport to my local Chevrolet Dealer (Maritime Chevrolet in Fairfield, Connecticut) because both rear tires were rapidly losing air (brand new tires had just been installed 4 days prior by this same dealership). Upon inspection, the dealership discovered multiple cracks in both rear wheels causing the tires to lose air. The service manager told me he looked into the issue and discovered multiple bulletins regarding this problem and said that General Motors is aware of the faulty wheels, however they are not willing pick up the cost on replacing the defective wheels or offer a safe alternative. The dealership wants to replace the 2 cracked wheels for $900 each (and even offered the pay for half the cost). The replacement wheels are the exact same as the defective ones and will likely crack again. This is an incredible safety hazard and I am now fearful to drive this car that only has 13,000 miles on it. I have owned the car since new and have never abused it and it is driven very little. If the tires lose enough pressure while driving it could possibly lead to an serious accident. After further research online, this is a well known defect and safety issue that has been documented by many different sources. Hundreds, if not thousands of owners have complained of this exact same safety issue, and I believe there is a class action lawsuit in regards to it, although I am not sure where that stands. If you have any questions, please contact me anytime to discuss.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
A month after I purchased the car with approximately 40k miles, I took the car in for an oil change at the dealership and was told there was a major leak in the left fuel tank and at the crossover tube. This leaking fuel is leaking onto the exhaust. It would cost at least $4,000 to repair. I can not afford this. It is too dangerous to drive. I have no other car. Supposedly, my vin number is 200 numbers away from being included in the recall for the same issue and that you have 43 pages of complaints about. Did I mention that the crossover tube is a backordered part because so many are needed because when you pull the current one out, it breaks and a new one is needed?

WHEELS
I was driving when the tire pressure warning light came on indicating the rear drivers side tire pressure dropped to 17 psi. I immediate drove to a gas station to add air. I inspected the tire and didn’t notice any damage. I aired the tire up to 32 psi and drove off. Within 3-5 mins the warning came back on. Upon further inspection of the inside of the wheel I noticed that the rim now had a 1.5 inch crack that went from the edge of the rim into the barrel of the wheel.
