Fuel Hoses Lines/piping And Fittings problems of the 2003 Chevrolet Trailblazer

I smelled gas strongly from my vehicle, I searched under my vehicle and found that where the filler hose was welded to the fuel tank was broken off of the tank. Read some forums and its a common problem someone told me to report it here.

I have a fuel line leak and my husband got on-line and saw that there is possibly going to be a recall. I called chevy and the guy told me that there is a possibility of "special coverage" for this. He asked me my mileage and the VIN number then put me on hold. Then he came back on line and told me that my Trailblazer was 10,000 miles over the limit for the coverage. I think this is ridiculous. It's only 7 yrs. Old and I don't think that mileage should have anything to do with it. It's a safety hazard and I have 3 children that are passengers in this vehicle. So therefore I have no vehicle until this is fixed and the cost is so outrageous that I have no idea when I'll be able to get it fixed and I have no way of getting myself to and from work and I'm going to have to try to rely on other people to take me to and from places. I think this problem should have absolutely nothing to do with mileage of a vehicle and that chevy should fix this. I have read on-line of alot people having the same issue with their Trailblazer.

About a month ago I started to smell gas vapors when I drove my car. One day I was on the highway and a person next to me honked his horn and told me that he saw gas leaking under my car. I was near pep boys and pulled in the parking lot. I shut my car off and looked underneath it. I saw a lot of gas dripping from under my fuel tank and falling onto the ground. I went inside pep boys and told them the problem. It was nearly closing time so I left the car overnight and called for a ride home. Pep boys called me the next morning and gave me an estimate of $270 just to drop the tank and look at what may have caused the leak. They said it was likely a bad fuel pump or bad fuel lines. I asked them another estimate on how much it would cost to fix my gas leak. They said it would cost around $600 to $800 to fix my car if the fuel pump or bad fuel lines were really the problem. I told them to not work on the car and said that I would pick it up. So I towed the car back home and pulled it into the garage. This is the first time that my car has leaked gas. The next day I took off the fuel tank to check where the leak was coming from. When I looked at the top of the tank, the fuel pump was corroded and there was gas on the outside of the pump. Also when I took the tank off, the filler neck hose was cracked and was not connected to the gas tank. I called a junk yard and ordered a fuel pump for $150. I also called my local dealer and told them my issue. They said that my car had too many miles on it and was not covered by warranty anymore. Since the dealer could not help me, I called general motors customer service and issued a safety defect on my vehicle. They said that there was a extended special coverage on my vehicle that might cover the repair. I called another dealership and I am waiting for them to call me back. Right now my car has been in the garage for almost a month. The only way to fix it is to buy a new gas tank for $500.

Gas tank leaking. I have two children (safety issue) I think there is something that gm needs to do about this problem. . Obviously it is a problem. I guess we need to take further actions ourselves.

Several times happening in the outside vicinity of my vehicle I could smell gasoline. Took my vehicle to the dealer and described my problem to them and expressed my safety concerns about the gas smell. They advised me my vehicle should not be driven until they could inspect and diagnose the nature of the gasoline smell. Dealer inspected and found the fuel sending unit and line to be corroded on top of the gas tank and it was leaking fuel onto the tank. Dealer in process of replacing fuel sending unit with a new unit. Cost of repair quoted at $840 dollars. Dealer gave me a discounted quote "to help make things right" of around $340. Vehicle is a 2003 chevy Trailblazer with 65,000 miles. Seems unacceptable to me for a 4 year old vehicle to develop a problem of this nature.

Chevrolet 2003 Trailblazer: noticed a large puddle in driveway, which was gasoline. Started SUV up and the gas just poured out of the vehicle. I was afraid to drive it, but knew I had to do something. I drove it to the nearest repair station, wherein, after inspection it was found to be rotted supply and return lines on fuel pump module. The repair station removed the remaining fuel from the fuel tank; replaced fuel pump module; reinstalled fuel tank; reinstalled fuel. At a total cost of $778. 14 used. I am a gm retiree after 33 years of service, and would like to be reimbursed for said amount of money. Thank you for your consideration in this expensive matter.

I have a 2003 chevy Trailblazer and the service engine soon light was on. I took it to the dealership to have it looked at and they said the gas tank inlet line had a crack in it and I needed a new tank, it would cost $906. I did some research and there is a special policy adjustment #05012 for 2002 Trailblazers. The dealership said they would replace it for free cause they are the same tanks on the 2002 and 2003, but I still had to pay $87. 00 for the diagnostic fee. I told the dealership and customer service all the vehicles should be recalled and changed before someone gets seriously hurt from on exploding. They told me they are doing something about it, they are replacing my tank. But what about all the other tanks out there that could be leaking, and if someone rear ends them, or a elect short causes a spark, a cigarette being flicked out the window, someone needs to do something about it before someone get killed.

The gas intake pipe allows gas to spill out when fueling 2003 Trailblazer. Basically, the fuel pumps at all gas stations I use do not shut off when fueling and gas overflows onto the ground. The dealer has ordered a replacement part but no recall is out. This is a fire hazard and safety concern.
