2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2-DR w/SAB Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2010 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 2-DR w/SAB

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

No
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

"after filling up my gas tank in my 2010 chevrolet corvette i notice a strong gas smell that permeates through my entire garage and house. upon investigation from an auto repair shop it has been determined i need to replace a faulty cracked fuel pump. upon further investigation it seems there was a "special coverage adjustment" from gm for this repair only for up to 120k miles. this should be a recall!!! as it is a very dangerous situation! so because i am over 120k , (just purchased from dealer) i am responsible for the 3k repair? that is 100% not acceptable. 15682 primary tank module flange fuel and vapor leaks copyright 2016 general motors. reference number: n150682 release date: january 2017 gwm number: 2015682"

Complaint:
"my 2010 chevrolett grand sport has developed a very strong odor of gasoline. both when parked in garage and while driving. it’s obviously leaking gasoline somewhere which could result in a fire or death."
Components Involved: FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
Date of incident: 2021-04-10

Complaint:
"i noticed the heavy smell of gas fumes after putting gas in my vet. the smell is most prominent when the car is off and parked in the garage. i am sure that the smell is always present and that being parked in a parking lot or outside dissipates the smell. i have tried filling the tank half way to see if that would help but the smell of gas is still there. it is strongest in the rear hatch area on the drivers side. the smell in garage is so strong i have to leave the garage door open to vent. i am fearful that the fumes may ignite my gas water heater which is located about 7-8ft away or start a car fire if gas hits the hot exhaust pipe. this is truly something that chevy needs to review to see if faulty equipment was placed in the c6 models. i have had the vet for 4 years it is a 2010 and the mileage is just over 55k. i just noticed this issue about 3 months ago, but it seems to be getting worse. i hope that my property is not damaged by a fuel source originating from the car or worse yet, a death related to an explosion or fire."
