Just recently I noticed that the leather on my dashboard has started to become unglued. My concern is 1) this is a defect that is common to not only C6 corvette modes (mine) but to C7 (google it on the internet) and some C8 models (information from Service Manager at Tasca Corvette in Wheeling, Illinois when he inspected my vehicle yesterday), 2) since there is an airbag in this location what affect will the loose dashboard leather have on the deployment of the airbag(s) thus becoming a safety issue.

Strong smell of fuel after parking the car in the garage. Inspection by the dealership confirmed the fuel pump assembly is leaking. The car was left for replacement of the fuel pump assembly due to the strong possibility of fire. This is a known issue with the C6 model of Corvette and was addressed by a gm TSB in 2011 rather than more appropriately by a recall. Of more concern to me is the fact that my car was produced in 2013 with a known defective part affecting safety. The cost of the repair is over $5000.

GM and the dealership failed to notify me of this issue even though they issued a Special Bulletin that addresses the fuel pump issue and which advises dealerships to repair the vehicle at no cost to the owner - me. I have complained to General Motors and I'm currently awaiting their…
