Owner report 10679020 · 2015-01-26 (January 26, 2015)
HELLO, I AM REPORTING ON MY 2006 C6Z06 CORVETTE THAT RECENTLY HAD THE VALVE-TO-GUIDE CLEARANCES CHECKED ON MY ENGINE AND MY MEASUREMENTS ARE BEYOND THE SERVICEABLE SPECIFICATIONS ON 8 OUT OF 16 VALVES, BOTH INTAKE AND EXHAUST. I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY HAZARD DUE TO THE FACT THAT IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN AND ENGINE SEIZES, LOSS OF CONTROL MAY OCCUR. I ALSO HAVE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A LEAK ON THE FUEL MODULE/SENDING UNIT, SPECIFICALLY ON THE TOP PLASTIC ELBOW CONNECTOR. I HAVE STRONG GASOLINE ODOR IN THE CABIN OF THE CAR AND VISIBLE GASOLIN…

THERE IS A LEAK AT THE TOP OF MY FUEL TANK. WHENEVER THE TANK IS 3/4 FILL OR GREATER, FUEL SLOSHES OUT OF THE TOP OF THE TANK AND POOLS ON TOP OF THE TANK AND SOMETIMES DRIPS DOWN ONTO THE EXHAUST.. PARKING THE CAR OVERNIGHT IN THE GARAGE IS FILLING MY GARAGE WITH FUEL VAPORS AND I AM CONCERNED THE DRIPPING FUEL MAY BE A FIRE RISK.

THE OTHER DAY I SMELLED GAS IN MY GARAGE. THE SMELL IS BAD UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL DROPS BELOW 1/2 TANK. I TOOK MY CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY CANNOT FIND A LEAK. I MENTIONED IF THIS IS COVERED UNDER THE 80K MILE EMISSION WARRANTY AND THEY SAID IT WAS NOT. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND THE SOLUTION IS TO DROP THE TANKS BECAUSE THE ISSUE MAY LIE IN THE FUEL PUMP AND LEAKING TANKS ON THE TOP. I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING LEAKING FUEL TANKS AND THE CONSUMER SHOULD NOT PAY FOR A FAULTY ITEM BEING A SERIO…
