The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that there was a strong fuel odor coming from vehicle while parked or while driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where a diagnostic test was performed. The technician removed the fuel tank and discovered that the hose connected to the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The dealer notified the manufacturer about the failure; however, the manufacturer stated that the warranty had expired. The contact was informed by the dealer that the repair would be an out-of-pocket expense. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided the contact with the same information as the dealer. The failure mileage was 42,134
NHTSA complaint 11767764Known Fuel Tank crack GM Memo "Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange", whose previous warranty extension has expired and shouldn't be! GM assumes no responsibility for notifying vehicle owners who purchased used vehicles from non-dealers, which is what I did. I never received any notices about this leak from them since 2018, when I bought the vehicle used from a non-GM dealer. I just recently discovered the leak and had it repaired for $ 5,300.00. I had been driving a vehicle that could have exploded for over 7 years and did not know it. There must be others who are still driving these without knowing. Below is my request to GM to reconsider their 'not covered' response to my email. I suggest that a known Special Coverage Adjustment 17469 Fuel Leaks at the Primary Fuel Pump Module Flange of the gas tank is a life-threatening issue and should never expire! Especially, since many of us bought these vehicles used, 2018 in my case, and have NEVER received any notifications from dealers or GM about this issue. How many others are still outstanding and could blow someone up? The pictures below were taken at my Watson Chevrolet dealer in Tucson, AZ this month, which shows that the crack is exactly what was outlined in your publication 17469, that I never received. Total bill was $5,330.89 (copy attached). I am asking GM to reimburse me for this horrible adventure, not to mention the danger that I've been in for these many years. While I should have detected this issue sooner, how was I to know? I finally gave a friend a ride who said she smelled a really bad gas odor, which led me to the dealer! Now, GM says "you're too late" for us to cover our known defect? Again, this is a life-threatening issue, and your warranty should never expire!
NHTSA complaint 11699673The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette equipped with Silver's North America NEOMAX coil-overs. The contact stated that while driving through a parking garage at less than 10 MPH, there was an abnormal popping sound coming from the vehicle after driving over a speed bump. The rear driver’s side of the vehicle lowered as the subframe detached from the vehicle. Due to the failure the vehicle remained stuck in the parking garage because the vehicle could not be towed out of the parking garage. The contact also stated that the vehicle could not be moved without causing further damage to it. The contact stated that the vehicle became an obstruction to the other motorist entering the parking garage. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and an agent attempted to assist the contact; however, the agent stated that any attempts to move the vehicle could be dangerous and cause more damage to the vehicle. The part was not yet replaced. The failure mileage was approximately 6,000.
NHTSA complaint 11694955The contact owned a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while trying to get out of parallel parking, the accelerator was depressed, and the vehicle jumped. There were no warning lights illuminated. As a result, the vehicle crashed into the vehicle that was in front. The contact snapped her neck. No medical assistance was needed. No police report was filed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer to be repaired however the failure persisted four more times. On a separate occasion, the vehicle would accelerate on its own without any reason, the contact would turn the vehicle off and back on, to drive the vehicle back to normal conditions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where unknown repairs were completed. The dealer informed the contact that the gas pedal had glue on it. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 4,400.
NHTSA complaint 11646472The electric power-steering assist is failing while my vehicle is in motion. I lose power steering and have to use significantly more effort and may lead to a crash, at any speeds. I was driving on the highway when this happened, although it has happened at slower, neighborhood speeds. When this happens, I see a warning message on the dashboard stating the power-steering assist failed and service power steering, drive with caution and the steering is all non-power steering. At times, when I stop the car, and turn the power off, and re-start the car, the power steering works again for a short period of time, and then fails again. This is extremely dangerous. I cannot find any recalls on my car VIN # for this issue for the 2014 Corvette, but see the exact symptoms for the 2017 Corvette (GM' number for this recall is N182182760). Help....please!
NHTSA complaint 1163512309/30/2024 The smell is gasoline is emanating from the driver side after I put gas at a local gas station. A short while after I arrived home, the smell of gasoline was still strong. I observed a puddle of gas by the driver side door underneath the gas filler. I have not attempted to start the car until I know it is safe to move to a local dealership or mechanic. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
NHTSA complaint 11617373The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Corvette. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, upon inspection of the engine compartment, the contact became aware of a fuel leak; however, the location of the leak was unknown. The contact was made aware of the Chevrolet Special Coverage Program: 17469 (Cracks on the Top Surface of Fuel Tank Fuel Pump Module); however, the Extended Warranty Coverage had expired before the repair was performed. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired because the warranty had expired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,000.
NHTSA complaint 11616903Earlier in the year I called GM about getting my Navigation updated. I ask when the next update would made current. I was told it would probably be in May. I decided to wait until then and it would be more accurate. When I called, they told me that GM had decided not to furnish a new update. I then tried to order one for last year and they could not update that either. I was willing to pay for it. With all the changes in highway's, it is dangerous to try to use it. They sold me the navigation and then made it obsolete. They did Bluetooth the radio but not the navigation. This is a safety hazard, and I feel the least they could do is charge me for the update and furnish it. It is still accurate except for new streets and there are a lot of changes. Help!
NHTSA complaint 11614608The vehicle fails to keep the engine cool when idling or traveling at low speeds and in low gears. When at a stop light, the engine temperature quickly increases to unsafe temperatures, and has even had to be shut off and went up in steam from the engine. Coolant level was and is still full. I believe the cooling fans fail to stay on, maybe due to being turned off on the highways, and therefore fail to turn back on after exiting the highway.

NHTSA complaint 11444153In November 2021, upon smelling gasoline in my garage I discovered fuel leaking from the left rear side of the vehicle. I brought the car to the Van Chevrolet dealer in Scottsdale, AZ who claimed that no recall or extended warranty was available for the vehicle. In October 2016, I received a notice from Chevrolet that my car could develop cracks in the fuel tank and to NOT take it to a dealer until the crack manifested itself. The notice Enclosure 16009 is already posted on NHTSA: https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10130604-9999.pdf The dealer advised that the notice had expired and I need to cover the repair out of pocket. This is a blatant safety issue with leaking fuel and the car is undrivable and is a danger to me and others. No warning lamps or messages appeared prior to the failure.
NHTSA complaint 11440560THE ELECTRIC POWER-STEERING ASSIST IS FAILING WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION. I LOSE POWER STEERING AND HAVE TO USE MORE EFFORT TO MAINTAIN THE STEERING DIRECTION. THIS HAPPENS UNEXPECTEDLY, AND MAY LEAD TO A CRASH, AT ANY SPEEDS. I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I SEE A WARNING MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD STATING THE POWER-STEERING ASSIST FAILED, DRIVE WITH CAUTION AND THE STEERING IS ALL 'NON-POWER STEERING'. WHEN I STOP THE CAR, AND TURN THE POWER OFF, AND RE-START THE CAR, THE POWER STEERING WORKS AGAIN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND THEN FAILS AGAIN. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I CANNOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON MY CAR VIN # FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER, I DO SEE A NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V086. GM'S OWN NUMBER FOR THIS RECALL IS N182182760 ON OTHER GM VEHICLES WITH THIS SAME DANGEROUS ISSUE.
