THE FRONT TRUNK LID (THE LID) OPENED AT A SPEED OF ABOUT 40MPH ON A CITY STREET. THE WARNING LIGHT WAS NOT LITE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT AND NOTHING ACTIVATED THE LID DOOR SWITCH. THIS INCIDENT BENT THE LID HINGES AND DIS-ALIGNED THE LID RESULTING IN THE DAMAGING OF THE CORNERS OF THE QUARTER PANELS. I HAVE NOW TAPED DOWN THE LID IN FRONT TO PREVENT THIS OCCURRING AGAIN. I HAVE NOTIFIED MY CHEVY DEALER OF THIS INCIDENT AND WILL BE REPLACING THE HINGES AND REPAIR THE QUARTER PANELS.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I FILLED THE CAR UP WITH FUEL , PARKED IT IN THE GARAGE. NEXT DAY I COME OUT TO START IT, AND A VERY VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL WAS COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. NO VISIBLE LEAKS ON FLOOR OR VEHICLE FROM WHAT I COULD SEE, BUT EVEN IN THE CABIN IT SMELT HORRIBLE. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT BEING A FIRE HAZARD AND POSSIBLE RESULT IN DEATH. I KNOW FOR SURE THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN IN REGARDS TO THIS AMONGST C6 CORVETTES BUT MINE HAS EXPIRED SINCE MY VEHICLE IS A 2008, AND IT ONLY COVERS 10 YEARS OR 100,000 MILES. ALTHOUGH I ONLY HAVE 46K MILES. I WENT ON THE CORVETTEFORUMS AND TO MY SURPRISE THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME EXACT SYMPTOMS AND ISSUE.

AIR BAGS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
AFTER FILLING TANK WITH GASOLINE THERE IS A LEAK. THE FUMES FROM THE LEAK ARE VERY STRONG IN MY GARAGE, REQUIRING ME TO VENTILATE THE AREA TO PREVENT AN EXPLOSION. I DO NOT OVERFILL. THE AUTO-TURNOFF AT THE PUMP WON'T ALLOW THAT. APPARENTLY THE LEAK IS WHERE THE TWO TANKS ARE CONNECTED.

WHEELS
NORMAL DRIVING CAUSED MAJOR/MINOR CRACKS IN 2 RIMS WITH MODERATE LOSS OF AIR PRESSURE OVER COURSE OF ONLY A FEW MILES REQUIRING IMMEDIATE EXIT FROM HIGHWAY TO ADDRESS UNSAFE CONDITION OF CAR. MILEAGE OF ONLY 18693 ON THE CAR AS OF 6/11/2020. NO COVERAGE PER GM EVEN UNDER NEW CAR 3 YEAR/36000 MILE WARRANTY OR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WE PURCHASED. COST TO ME OF $1501.30. PICTURES OF CRACKS AVAILABLE AS ARE THE ACTUAL RIMS (TIRE SERVICE SAID THEY'D NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT IN 40 YEARS). LAWSUITS PENDING AGAINST GM CURRENTLY (CLASS ACTION). WHEN THEY DEBUTED THE 2017 GRAND SPORT MODEL ON A 40000 MILE TEST RUN THEY HAD A TOTAL OF 10 CRACKED OR BENT RIMS DUE TO POOR RIM CONSTRUCTION. I FEAR THAT I'LL LOSE A RIM, PUNCTURE A TIRE AND HAVE AN ACCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
PARKED CAR IN THE GARAGE AFTER A SHORT DRIVE. I CAME BACK INTO THE GARAGE ABOUT 2 HOURS LATER AND THERE WAS A VERY STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE. I WHEELED OUT MY POWER WASHER AND LAW MOWER BUT THE ODOR REMAINED. I LEFT EVERYTHING OUT OF THE GARAGE BUT THE 2008 CORVETTE Z06 FOR THREE DAYS AND THE ODOR SEEMED TO BE WORSE. AFTER INSPECTING THE 2008 CORVETTE Z06, THE FUMES WERE COMING FROM THE REAR DRIVERS SIDE OF THE CAR. THE FUMES ARE SO STRONG THAT I CANNOT TRUST ANY IGNITION SOURCE IN THE GARAGE, SO I MOVED THE CAR OUTSIDE BUT PUSHING THE CAR OUT OF THE GARAGE. THE 2008 CORVETTE Z06 WAS PARKED IN MY PERSONAL GARAGE THE ENTIRE TIME UNTIL I PUSHED IT OUT INTO MY DRIVEWAY. *TR
