I would like to alert you to a design flaw causing a very serious safety issue with the chevy Colorado trucks. On the pre-dawn morning of may 9, 2013, I was driving my 15 miles to work when I began smelling a very strong raw gasoline odor in the cab. I pulled off the road and found gasoline dripping heavily between the cab and bed of the truck. I immediately shut down the truck and left it where it was. Upon later examination, I found where the pressurized plastic fuel line had ruptured. The rupture was on the top of the plastic fuel line toward the front of the gas tank. Over time, the plastic fuel line was rubbing against the top bed of the truck whenever the truck went over a bump. I have searched the internet and found other chevy Colorado truck situations like this, some causing vehicle fires and personal burn injuries. Kirk wieneke.

2007 Chevrolet Colorado caught on fire around gas tank while driving down the street. Pulled over and entire area around gas tank and part of cab engulfed in flames. Had to crawl out passenger side door. Burnt left arm and side of face. Fire dept came and put out fire. Was not the result of purchasing gas. Had 1/2 tank of gas when this took place. Don't know what started the fire. Insurance company investigating cause. Scary, don't want this to happen to anyone else. Will not ever purchase a small truck again.
