The Avalanche is our tow vehicle (only) which is why it has so few miles for a 2002 model year vehicle. Normally it is towing a 9000 pound 28 foot toy hauler, but just by pure luck it was towing a single axle flat bed trailer with the cab for a 1935 Chevrolet pickup on it back from the body shop. I pulled into the driveway and tried to stop and there were no brakes. Tried to apply the parking brakes and the cable snapped. Stopped by driving up a hill into the grass. Took the Avalanche to the dealer where they told me the brake lines all had to be replaced and they were no longer available from the manufacturer. In the course of getting the brake lines out they found that the fuel lines were also leaking and had to be replaced. The total bill for repair was $2900. 00, plus the vehicle was out of service for 6 weeks. Granted the vehicle is 12 years old, but I have a 1963 studebaker that still has solid brake and fuel lines. It is only by the grace of god that the Avalanche wasn't towing a 9000 pound 28 foot long trailer at 70 mph when the brakes failed. There was no warning light, no indication at all that there was a pending problem. Someone could have been killed. These vehicles need to be recalled, and I need to be reimbursed for the repairs.

I have a 2005 Avalanche that I was driving to work and I started to smell gas in the cab of the truck. When I arrived at work a CO worker came over and stated your truck is leaking fluid. I got out of the truck and it was leaking gas all over the ground. I had just filled up the tank and it was a little over 1/4 filled. Upon further inspection after the lines dried I noticed a hole in the fuel lines. It looked like it had rubbed together with another line and causing a hole.

The contact owns a 2005 Chevrolet Avalanche 1500. The contact stated while at a complete stop the check engine warning light illuminated on the instrumental panel. The contact then noticed there was a fuel odor coming from the driver's side door. An authorized dealer stated that the fuel lines were crossed above the catalytic converter causing the them to rub and fuel to leak from the fuel lines. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure and current mileages were 132,000. Updated 05/31/lj.

Driving home I started to smell gas in the cab of the truck. After the truck was parked I found gas on the ground under the engine. When I had a mechanic look at the problem he found that the factory installed fuel lines were touching and had rub a hole in the fuel lines and were leaking gas on the engine also the e85 sensor module was cracked and leaking gas. No fuel line parts were avalible for the repair. I was told not to use the truck as the leak could cause a fire. This to me is a big proplem as their is no worning.

With no warning at all my fuel line began to leak profusely. No sensor warnings/lights at all. Fuel line was leaking a tremendous amount of gas - leaking to the point I was afraid to leave it parked in my driveway near my house or even out on the street (in case someone walked by with a cigarette). I feel this was an extremely dangerous situation. To make matters worse, my truck has been in the shop for over a week and several chevy dealerships are unable to get the parts from the factory and in some instances are only being told they are "backordered" with no approximate date of availability.

Rupture of plastic-like fuel lines above the gas tank.

Gas tank and fuel system became contaminated with rust and was clogging the fuel injectors. Chevrolet dealer replaced 2 fuel injectors and fuel lines and cleaned existing gas tank. $1300 worth of repairs.

When attempting to refuel the truck, the metal ring with the rubber hose behind ring is faulty in diameter which does not allow proper fuel flow. No matter what gas station this always occurs. Owner has to use a wrench or other people to assist with fueling. Please describe details.
