2015 Chevrolet Corvette Fuel System Problems

When C7 Stingray Corvette in the garage with the door closed, there is a strong smell of fuel coming from the vehicle, this problem started around July, 2025.... I have owed the vehicle for 3 years never a problem until now.

There is a strong gas smell when my vehicle is parked in the home garage. The smell is very strong on the rear tire area on the driver's side of the vehicle. I contacted Gunn Chevrolet and will drop the car off 8 September 2023. There are no warning lights for this issue on the vehicle. There are several bulletins on gas leaks on C7 corvettes. Here is one bulletin: [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6

WHEN REFUELING, TANK FILLER PIPE ACCEPTS FUEL ONLY VERY SLOWLY. SEVERAL DIFFERENT GAS STATION PUMPS WERE TRIED, ALL KEPT CLICKING OFF EVERY 3 SECONDS (AS IF TANK WAS FULL). TANK EVENTUALLY TOOK AN ADDITIONAL 7 OR 8 GALLONS, BUT IT TOOK 8 OR 10 MINUTES TO ACCOMPLISH THAT.

A STRONG FUEL ODOR IS COMING FROM THE FUEL FILLER PIPE. THE FUEL ODOR FILLS THE GARAGE WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THERE OVERNIGHT, AND COMPLETELY TURNED OFF. THE AUTHORIZED CHEVROLET DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT HAS TRIED TO FIX IT TWICE, BUT HAS NOT BEEN SUCCESSFUL. VEHICLE IS STATIONARY.

I RAN OUT OF GAS ON THE INTERSTATE DURING RUSH WITH A TRACTOR TRAILER BEHIND ME? HOW I GOT TO THE SHOULDER WAS A MIRACLE!! THEN I NOTICED THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, THE GAS GAUGE STOPPED WORKING? THE ROAD WARRIOR CAME AND GAVE ME SOME GAS. I TOOK IT MY DEALER RIGHT AWAY. THEY GAVE ME A LOANER. AFTER A FEW DAYS I CALLED FOR AN UPDATE? THE SERVICE DEPTARTMENT TOLD ME IT WAS THE FUEL SENDER UNIT THAT WENT BAD. AND THAT PART IS ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER?? I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT MEANT? SO I CALL GM'S CUSTOMER RELATIONS AND SPEAK TO A GLORIA. SHE INFORMS ME THE PART IS UNAVAILABLE. AND SHE DOES NOT HAVE AN ETA ON IT?? I TOLD HER I THOUGHT THAT CAR COMPANIES ARE SUPPOSE TO KEEP PARTS FOR NEW MODEL CAR FOR AT LEAST THROUGH THE WARRANTY PERIOD? SHE AGREED!! IMAGINE? SO I ASK THEN WHY IS MY PART? SHE COULDN'T ANSWER? I BOUGHT MY CAR IN MARCH, 2015 AND HAVE 7180 MILES ON HER. AND IS OBVIOUSLY STILL UNDER WARRANTY! I BRING IT BACK TO MY DEALER AND TELL HIM I WANT A NEW CAR BECAUSE BY THIS TIME IT'S BEEN 30 DAYS WAITING FOR PART. I AM DRIVING WITH THE TRIP MONITOR, TO TRY GAUGE GAS USAGE?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CORVETTE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL BUT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT LOW OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED DUE TO THE PART NOT BEING AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,168.
