Other Fuel System Tank Assembly Problems of Chevrolet Suburban

While I was driving approx 45 -60 mph I smelled gas, I dismissed it thinking that I was smelling the old truck in front of me. I parked my Suburban at my destination and still smelled it but I dismissed it because I was late to my appointment. When I came back out to my vehicle approx 2 hours later I still smelled the gas pretty strong. I looked underneath and didn't see any drips, I was parked on grass so I couldn't see any puddles if there was any. I got in and drove approx 100 yards to pick up my son in the parking lot and still smelled it, I shut the vehicle off and looked under, there was a drip about every second coming from the bottom of the fuel tank and it looked like it was coming from the top of the tank where I couldn't see. I took it to eagle Buick GMC in crystal river and they said it was the 2 fuel lines on the top of the fuel tank. It was approx $680. 00 to fix. While I was waiting for the vehicle I did some research and found that this is pretty common and is due to a design flaw. The gas lines rub against the chassis and get a hole in them. I do believe this is a safety issue and should be a recall.

Vehicle had trouble starting finally started drove to store a smelled gas inside and out of vehicle looked under vehicle to see gas leaking from fuel tank.

Gas line or tank is leaking and there is a recall for this on chevy Suburbans, but a recall for this is not listed with my VIN. This is a safety hazard and I should not be required to come out of pocket for this when it is a known issue for vehicles in this class. I started the engine yesterday morning and noticed a gas smell. When I backed out of the stationary spot I noticed gas on the driveway.

2015 chevy Suburban. Starting my car the morning of 19 Aug 20 I found it odd that it struggled to start. Arrived at work and noticed a strong fuel smell, didn't think much of it, maybe the car next to me. I leave work, and it struggled again. Thought I should look a little when I got home. When I arrived it smelled strongly of fuel again. Upon the inspection of my vehicle, I found the fuel leak. The fuel tank is completely soaked in gasoline. I take it to my trusted mechanic to have a better look and he informed I have to replace the hose in the fuel line above the gas tank between were the two doors meet. Part no. 23248011. It was stationary when I suspected something but evidence suggest the line was rubbed against other components in the undercarriage and damaged the fuel system while in motion. Probably from the other complaint I'm about to put in about the dreaded highway vibration between 75-80 mph. And that's not speeding, there are highways in texas up to 85mph and tollways at 75mph. A little inconvenience of vibration isn't much of a concern. At first. Fuel however is a major safety concern. This needs to be addressed.

Fuel level sensor failed causing fuel transfer pump to overfill front fuel tank. Causing front fuel tank to expand and develop a fuel leak.

We noticed a strong fuel smell from our vehicle. When we moved it we noticed a puddle below the drivers door and rear door. Upon inspection it appeared to be a consistent drip of fuel. Our dealer reports that there is a break in the pressurized fuel line which is located above the gas tank. From our review of internet complaints from other owners, this appears to be a product defect in the 2015 Suburban.

Have a 2015 Suburban and fuel is leaking from top of tank and trying to see if there is a recall on the clamps because I read something about vent line clamp recall.

Fuel leak has developed between two fuel lines that have been rubbing together from the date of manufacture until 4/23/18. This leak developed less than inches from the exhaust system on the braded line portion of the fuel lines near the connections at the fuel tank end. The issue was noticed as I was driving in rush hour bumper to bumper traffic on 395 north in washington DC through the 3rd st. Tunnel. The odor of gasoline was detected, but thought to be coming from elsewhere. The vehicle was driven another mile before I realized the source was my vehicle. When I parked it I noticed fuel pooling under it at the transmission cross member. After it cooled, I went under it and discovered to cause of the leak. The vehicle was towed home via aaa. The mileage at the moment cannot be obtained because the dash is digital which causes the fuel system to energize and spray fuel when turned on.

Brake lines rusted through front passenger side causing minor accident Dec 2015 separate incident:: high-pressure fuel line rusted through causing fuel to spray around the front of gas tank area unnoticed for 2 trips. Thankfully no fire resulted.

This car's fuel efficiency is atrocious. It was advertised as 16-22 mpg but I have never been able to get more than 11 mpg on the highway, it's lower around town. 12 mpg around town. I've taken it in to chevy dealerships and maintenance shops and they say there is nothing they can do. I've owned previous Suburbans with 30 gallon gas tanks and can go 600 mikes on a full tank of gas. However, I have to stop for gas with this car after 325-350 miles. It's terrible, especially in long trips. There is something wrong with the fuel usage by this car car and I don't know who to turn to for correction of the problem. If you don't consider this a valid complaint, can you refer me to another organization? I've tried to get ahold of a national Chevrolet representative but I am always referred back to a local Chevrolet dealer who says there is nothing they can do to help. I hope ( and pray) that your able to help because the car is using twice as much gas as I am used to with this model, having had 20+ mpg with the Suburban I owned in 2000. Thank you.

I replaced the gas tank on my 2001 Chevrolet Suburban on 2 Jan because I had detected a gas smell. My independent mechanic discovered a leak in the tank because it had split at the midpoint in the side of the tank. When I contacted Chevrolet, that said that they did not want to see the tank because an independent mechanic replaced it instead of a Chevrolet service facility. My reason for writing is that the gas tank split for no apparent reason. Since nothing struck the tank to cause the split, I believe that this is unusual and worthy of note. The original tank was defective, in my opinion.
