Default Vehicle Report/history

Hello, Can someone run a vehicle history report or Carfax for me. I'm having an issue with a bad gas smell in the garage and want to se if I can get the car repaired under warranty (N150682). It's an 08 with 43K miles. Vin is 1G1YY26W185101607
If you could email it to me that would be great. bdevlin@7thlvl.com Thanks in advance.

It ran out 12-10-17 for you. Below is what's listed in the GM system for your VIN. It's the second line down.

Thank you so much. Do you guys think I have any chance of fighting this or getting a dealer to help me since the mileage is so low? (43K)

All you can do is ask them. Worst they can say is NO.

Can't hurt to ask, but I don't like your chances. An acquaintance just got $300 paid by GM. Slightly better than nothing.

Since I purchased the vehicle from a dealership in 6/16 do you think this is something they should have checked for?

No, especially since the program didn't come out until July 2016. (the document below is rev.2, dated Sept. 2016)

The service bulletin 15682 addresses the repair any C6 Corvette that is less than 10 years old ( from the date that the vehicle was put into service ) and has less than 120,000 miles for the fuel smell

How does GM ever get away with this kind of crap. So you have a faulty part and you give people a very limited time to take advantage of it. Even though my car only has 43K miles on it I only had a year to figure this out and find the bulletin thanks to the folks here, not GM. Sad for the people that had an 07 that were put into service in 06 and may have not even qualified from the start as they were past the 10 year mark. Who writes these things. ugh so frustrated with GM using plastic parts on such important areas of the car. I just replaced the shifter cable a month ago because of a plastic part breaking.

10 years old is way outside of the warranty period, so they dont really have a big incentive to worry about it. By that point, it's the risk of buying a used car. It sucks, but that's why they offer extended warranties.
