“Whenever I put more than a half of tank of gas into the car I am overwhelmed with the strong smell of gas. I have not seen any spots from gas leaking but he smell is very strong! It smell when it is parked and when I drove it this past weekend I could smell it on the inside while I was driving and I had to crack my window to get the flumes out!”
NHTSA complaint #11131522, filed 2018-09, 35,500 miles“Could smell gas in my garage but didnt see any gas on the floor took it to my mechanic and he said fuel tank seems to have a leak but can see it! It seems to be on top of fuel tank. My Corvette has 46,285 miles on it. It seems to something like this is pretty dangerous setting in garage over night. It seems GM as on recall on this problem!”
NHTSA complaint #11162115, filed 2018-12, 46,285 miles“Service b. : 15682 gas smell; dealer telling me requires left fuel pump and crossover pipe and they will not pay for. This should be a recall as its very dangerous. I never got anything from chevy regarding this issue. Have had smell issues for years. Have barely driven in 2.5 years because of issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11326795, filed 2020-06, 90,000 miles“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11415260, filed 2021-05, 2,200 miles“I'm smelling fuel whenever I fill my vehicle. I never over fill it. When the pump stops I stop and don't try to force more gas in it. When parked over night my entire garage smells like fuel. So to keep from having a disaster I park my vehicle outside in the driveway.”
