Corvette

  • 35,400 miles
I own a 2004 Chevrolet Corvette. While the vehicle was parked in the garage I smelled a strong fuel odor. I checked and he replaced the gasoline cap, and noticed a gas puddle on the ground washed the vehicle but could still smell fuel. The vehicle was taken to a Chevrolet mechanic who diagnosed the failure and confirmed that the fuel tank pipe connectors were defective. The fuel tank connectors could not be replaced; therefore, the fuel tank had to be replaced. The vehicle wasn't repaired. The failure mileage was 35,400 and the current mileage was 35,400. The Chevrolet dealer diagnosed the following issues: Needs left side fuel tank and sending unit $3,887.50, rear brakes pads and rotors $517.50, front brakes pads and rotors $482.50, brake flush $165, induction and injector services $350. Service rear posi diff. $165. Currently I am a cancer patient and due to medical cost I am unable to afford the repairs. This vehicle is the only mode of transportation that I have.any assistance that you could afford me would be greatly appreciated shouldn't the issues be a recall/safety issue. Thanks in advance..R. thomas
