CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2009 Safety Review #10278968
CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2009 car safety problem was reported on Mar 28, 2009.CHEVROLET CORVETTE 2009, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE . 09 CORVETTE WILL ONLY TAKE HALF-TANK OF GAS,AUTO-SHUTOFF. TO FILL TANK HAVE TO TURN NOZZLE UPSIDE DOWN TO FILL. THIS METHOD CAUSES FUEL OVER FLOW AND SPILLAGE ON THE GROUND. DEALER SAYS IT IS GAS PUMPS HERE IN CALIFORNIA THAT ARE AT FAULT AND NOT THE CORVETTE. 28 MILLION CARS THAT THE PUMPS WORK ON. THIS LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE WILL BE A FIRE INVOLVED ACCIDENT AS WELL AS POLLUTION ESCAPING FROM THE FILL NOZZLE.. THERE ARE 14 OTHER CORVETTES HERE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. GM SAYS IT IS NOT THEIR PROBLEM. HELP B4 ONE OF US GETS BURNED TO DEATH. IT IS ALSO DEFEATING THE FUME RECOVERY SYSTEM AND RELEASING MOST INTO THE ATMOSPHERE. *TR.Mileage was 88 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G1YY26W795. Chevrolet Corvette 2009 problem was reported in SUN CITY, CA. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

MY REMOTE CONTROL WOULD NOT ACTIVATE THE DOOR LOCKS. I TOOK THE BATTERY OUT OF THE REMOTE AND TAPPED IT ON THE GROUND A FEW TIMES AND THE REMOTE WORKED. UPON ENTERING THE VEHICLE, THE REMOTE STOPPED WORKING AGAIN. THIS MEANS THAT THE CAR WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE ME BEING IN THE VEHICLE. I WAS TRAPPED FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH NO AIR IN THE VEHICLE. I KEPT HITTING THE REMOTE AND THE VEHICLE RECOGNIZED MY REMOTE AGAIN. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE REMOTE AND HAD THE BATTERY CHANGED. UPON GETTING THE REMOTE CHANGED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RECOGNIZE MY REMOTE CONTROL AGAIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD CAUSE SOMEONE TO SUFFOCATE IF THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO CLIMB THROUGH THE BACK HATCH OF A Z06 CORVETTE TO PULL THE HATCH RELEASE. I AM NOT SURE AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THE EMERGENCY LEVER WOULD WORK, AS TECHNICALLY THE VEHICLE STILL HAD BATTERY POWER. I STILL DO NOT KNOW IF THIS IS A BATTERY ISSUE, ELECTRICAL ISSUE, OR REMOTE CONTROL ISSUE. AGAIN, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS, ESPECIALLY IN A HOT CAR WITH NO AIR DUE TO EVERYTHING BEING ELECTRONIC. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 9800 miles.

How do I know if I need a new powersteering pump in my 2003 tahoe, will the fuel light work even if the gas gauge is broken?

Since then the passenger side sliding door won't automatically open by using the switch or by pulling the handle. bright lights will not come on. My 97 chevy van 1500 express 5.0 fuel gage just up and stopped working and suggestions? Engine Control system wen't from smooth to erratically stumbling to find it's set idle, I could also hear the twin TBI injector's pumping too much fuel into engine, drove it to the local store, was still running rough, trying to stall, it fi I have a 2009 obalt and have some questions that may help solve some problems that I have.
The car jerks when accelerating at low speed (i.e.stop and go traffic ), I have taken it to the dealer and got told there was nothing reported when they
