2013 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1

No recalls on record for this model year.

• Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jun 9, 2025

  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.

• Engine, fuel/propulsion systemFiled Dec 9, 2024

  My Corvette c6 model has had a longterm issue with the left fuel pump, which I was not made aware of by the local dealership servicing my vehicle or the manufacturer, General Motors. I recently discovered the fuel pump issue, which results in a significant fuel leak thru the bottom left side of the vehicle. 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 response to my complaint and request for assistance with the repairs. As of 9:00 am Pacific Time, December 9, 2024, I've received no response from GM. My concern and reason for this report is GM's failure and the dealership's failure to notify me, and failure to issue a recall for this significant and dangerous problem with my vehicle.

• Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Jan 29, 2024

  Strong fuel fumes filling the car and garage on [XXX] after driving {just in and out of the garage), even stronger in trunk, its a convertible. Internet search showed either faulty gas cap, I replaced it hoping that would fix it, or broken plastic elbow on top of fuel pump on drivers side gas tank. Web sites also noted GM covered this safety recall and fix for 10 years. Well, they didn't tell people not to buy this car with a serious defect that could burn down their garage and home! I bought it used with 9200 miles last Feb for almost 52K and clean carfax. I took it to my local Chevrolet dealer, Durant in Granbury, TX 1/22/2023, they called back saying the recall only lasted 10 years and they won't cover any of the $3,600+ repair cost. Can you help?

• Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Feb 14, 2023

  The car has yet to be inspected by a dealer. However, there is a strong odor of fuel, in the garage by the driver side of the vehicle. This has occurred on multiple occasions even when tank not at full capacity. Upon investigation, it appears as if it is similar to a reported problem with the fuel pump from multiple Corvette owners with similar make and model. Significant concern of potential fires and/or explosion around small children in the household.

  Incident Feb 14, 2023

• Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Feb 6, 2023

  The Primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leak. Yes, it's available for inspection upon request. It's sitting at Auto Nation Chevrolet 3215 South Auto Way Gilbert since November 28, 2022. They said they're waiting for the cross over fuel line part # 10337583. Fuel leaks where the fuel pump goes into the left gas tank and can cause an explosion. Also, I had extreme fuel vapors in my garage that could have caused my house to catch fire too. No warning lamps. I filed a case with GM #9-933208951. Based on my research its recall #15682. When I phone GM they tell me my case has been transferred to another department. The latest is James at 1 866 790 5600 ext 591-0336.

• Air bagsFiled Jan 14, 2023

  Passenger side air bag module will not arm the air bag system when any person sits in the seat. Have made multiple attempts to purchase the air bag presence module since June of 2022. Once with dealer, could not get the part, and two more times online. Each time I am told the part is on back order and they have no timeline as to when the part will become available. So I have a $86,000 Corvette that my wife or son cannot ride in because the air bag sensor is faulty.

  My car with only 17,000 is generating a very strong gas smell, which completely fills my garage. I've read old notices that preferred to this problem and saw there was many reports in the past from your organization about this problem, that now have all been pulled. As any Corvette forms on line reflects, as it is a continuous problem. I now am keeping mine outside, because of the strong odor. There isn't a gas leak per a Chevrolet dealer and I can't afford the $1,000 in additional labor, their estimate to attempt to figure out. Please assist us (the thousands of other owners effecting 2007 -in 2013).

  • Fuel/propulsion systemFiled Mar 12, 2022

    I have just recently purchased this 2013 Corvette grand sport. I'm come out into my garage this morning March 12th 2022 and there is a trail of fuel leaking from the rear driver's side of the car. Doing a quick online search I have found that this is a common problem on these cars . There is there is a plastic fitting on top of the fuel pump or the fuel tank itself is commonly known to develop a crack. This is an exceptionally dangerous situation as the fuel tank is very close to the hot exhaust when driving. Please advise as to any recourse I may have with GM or any Chevrolet dealership . This is a 2013 corvette with only 46000 miles.

  • EngineFiled Jan 11, 2022

    .The internet (Youtube and Corvette Forum) is full of horror stories about the engine valves breaking and dropping into the engine causing a catastrophic engine failure without warning. I was paranoid about driving the car for fear of an engine failure and averting an accident. After reading a plethora of horror stories about numerous LS7, 427 engine failures I felt anxious about driving my car and wanted to fix my engine ASAP and not a moment to soon!!!! I took my car to a shop to determine the condition of the valves and one intake had extensive play in the valve guide - .012" wobble from side to side vs a factory spec of .003". They didn’t check the other head but assuming the worse. I just have my heads refurbed at with only 6k miles on my vehicle. This resulted in me spending $5,350 dollar to remedy the defect before the engine failed and potentially causing an accident. ........this problem seems to be a manufactory defect potentially common to all 427/LS7s built between 2006 and 2013!!!!!

    I BOUGHT THIS USED CORVETTE BACK IN THE SUMMER OF 2015. AFTER I PURCHASED THE CAR I NOTICED VIBRATION PROBLEM AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ABOVE 60 MILES PER HOUR. THE STEERING WHEEL WAS NOT ONLY SHAKING ALL OVER THE PLACE. THE CAR WAS PHYSICALLY VIBRATING AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. I COULDN'T BELIEVE IT BECAUSE IT ONLY HAD 1289 MILES ON IT. I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A VIBRATION PROBLEM EARLY ON AND WAS CHECKED AT 570 MILES AT STEVE SCHMITT CHEVY BUT NEVER SAW IT AGAIN. THOUGHT ISSUE WAS FIXED. I BROUGHT CAR BACK TO BILL STASEK CHEVY WHERE I PURCHASED CAR WITH FULL WARRANTY AND TOLD THEM ABOUT THE VIBRATION PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT BY REPLACING 2 FRONT TIRES AND REBALANCING THE REAR TIRES.THEY DROVE IT AND SAID IT WAS FIXED. DROVE IT HOME AND IT WAS MUCH BETTER THAN BEFORE. SEVERAL WEEKS WENT BY AND ONCE AGAIN THE VIBRATION AND STEERING ISSUE RETURNED. SO I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND EXPLAINED THAT THE SAME VIBRATION PROBLEM HAD ONCE AGAIN RETURNED.THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY DID THE REPAIR VIA THE SERVICE BULLETIN THAT CAME OUT ON THAT VIBRATION ISSUE FROM GM.EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THAT WAS ALL THEY COULD DO AND THEY KNEW THERE IS A DEFECT IN THAT YEAR CAR BUT IT IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. SO HERE I SIT WITH A 76,000 DOLLAR CORVETTE WITH 5000 MILES ON IT AND A VIBRATION THAT KNOW ONE CAN OR WILL FIX.I CAN'T FIND THE SERVICE BULLETIN BUT THE MECHANIC WHO DID THE WORK ON MY CAR DID SHOW IT TO ME AT THE DEALERSHIP. I THINK SOMEONE NEEDS TO LOOK INTO THIS.I FEEL IT'S UNSAFE AND IF THE CAR IS BUILT WITH THIS KNOWN DEFECT IT SHOULD BE FINED OR AT LEAST RECALL ALL C-6 CORVETTES WITH THIS ISSUE.

    TWO MONTHS AGO, THE CAR WOULD CRANK, BUT NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL TRIES, AND WAITING OVERNIGHT TO CONTINUE TRYING, I HAD THE CAR TAKEN TO THE DEALER. TOW DRIVER DROPS CAR OFF FLATBED, SERVICE WRITER GETS IN TO CYCLE THROUGH TO GET MILEAGE, ETC, AND THE CAR STARTS. NO ERROR CODES. THEY KEEP IT FOR A FEW DAYS, BUT NO FURTHER PROBLEM. TEN DAYS AGO, SAME PROBLEM. TOW DRIVER TRIES TO START THE CAR TO DRIVE OFF FLATBED, WITHOUT SUCCESS. DEALER OBSERVES THE PROBLEM, BUT, AGAIN, CAR STARTS FOR THE SERVICE WRITER, AND NO CODES. LEAVE IT FOR SEVERAL DAYS, BUT NO REPEAT OF THE PROB. A FEW DAYS AGO, SAME PROBLEM, EXCEPT NOW THE CAR IS 'ON THE VERGE' OF STARTING, NOT JUST CRANKING, AND I CAN SMELL FUEL (THIS WAS NOT THE CASE PREVIOUSLY). THE CAR WAS LOW ON FUEL WHEN I LEFT, AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING HAD COME ON A FEW MILES BEFORE I STOPPED. SO, I GET SOME GAS IN THE CAR, EVENTUALLY 1/2 A TANK, AND NOW THE CAR IS JUST CRANKING, NOT 'ON THE VERGE', AND AAA IS CALLED TO TOW IT. AT THIS POINT, THE ATTEMPTS ARE TAKING THEIR TOLL ON THE BATTERY, BUT I CONTINUE TRYING, AND, WHILE THE TOW TRUCK IS EN ROUTE, IT STARTS JUST LIKE ALWAYS (PUSH BUTTON, ENGINE STARTS, NO LAG OR HESITATION). DEALER THINKS IT'S FUEL RELATED, BUT DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS, SO HAS NO IDEA WHAT TO DO. ONLINE FORUMS SUGGEST THAT IT'S AN OVERHEATED FUEL PUMP RELAY, OR CONNECTORS THERETO, RESULTING ULTIMATELY IN A COMPLETE FUSE BOX REPLACEMENT.
