ENGINE
ALTHOUGH MY CAR IS A 2009 IT ONLY HAS 300 MILES ON IT. THE ZO6 MODEL WHICH HAS THE "LS7 ENGINE HAS A KNOWN VALVE ISSUE WITH BOTH INTAKE AND EXHAUST BEING OUT OF SPEC AND WEARING RAPIDLY. I HAD A "WIGGLE TEST" DONE ON ALL MY VALVES. MORE THAN HALF OF THE 16 VALVES WERE OUT OF SPEC. IF THE ISSUE IS NOT CORRECT A VALVE WILL DROP AND A NEW ENGINE WILL BE REQUIRED.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
ANY TIME I FILL UP THE CAR WITH GASOLINE, I SMELL A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL FOR DAYS, IN THE GARAGE AND INSIDE THE CAR WHILE DRIVING. THE SMELL SUBSIDES ONCE THE FUEL LEVEL GETS BELOW HALF TANK. THE ROOT OF THE PROBLEM IS USUALLY A LEAK IN THE PLASTIC FUEL PUMP THAT SPRAYS GASOLINE ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK AND RUNS DOWN THE SIDE OF THE TANK VERY CLOSE TO THE HOT EXHAUST PIPES. THIS IS LIKELY A FIRE HAZARD. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF REPORTS OF THIS AROUND THE INTERNET. EXAMPLE: HTTPS://WWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM/FORUMS/C6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION/3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-9.HTML GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS, BUT MY CAR IS AT 10 YEARS AND ONE MONTH, SO GM DOES NOT WANT TO COVER IT. HERE IS THE GM BULLETIN STATING THE 10 YEAR WARRANTY: HTTPS://REDIRECT.VIGLINK.COM/?FORMAT=GO&JSONP=VGLNK_151104044978215&KEY=5E9E33F20BF41D5A669CC4838C2690E9&LIBID=JA5UDJF901000B28000DLG5APLEOA&LOC=HTTPS%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM%2FFORUMS%2FC6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION%2F3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-10.HTML&V=1&OUT=HTTP%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEACTIONCENTER.COM%2FTECH%2FKNOWLEDGEBASE%2FFILE.PHP%3FID%3D130&REF=HTTPS%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEFORUM.COM%2FFORUMS%2FC6-CORVETTE-GENERAL-DISCUSSION%2F3563123-DANGER-FUEL-LEAKS-SAFETY-RECALL-9.HTML&TITLE=*%20*%20*%20*%20DANGER%20FUEL%20LEAKS%20-%20SAFETY%20RECALL%20*%20*%20*%20*%20-%20PAGE%2010%20-%20CORVETTEFORUM%20-%20CHEVROLET%20CORVETTE%20FORUM%20DISCUSSION&TXT=HTTP%3A%2F%2FWWW.CORVETTEACTIONCENTER.COM%2F...ILE.PHP%3FID%3D130 THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. IT IS ALSO AN EMISSIONS ISSUE, AND IT SHOULD BE COVERED AS SUCH AS WELL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERIOUS CONSIDERATION.
