The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that there was a fracture in the fuel neck line, causing a fuel leak.

On my 2004 Trailblazer, my wife complained about gas fumes in the car. I noticed gas streaming from around the top of gas tank. I dropped the gas tank down and noticed the leak was streaming from one of the metal lines exiting from the fuel pump. The corrosion was so bad I only had to lightly push on the metal line and it broke into. If my wife didn't smell the fumes this could have burst into a fire if it eventually sprayed onto the exhaust system.
Chevrolet Trailblazer has has check engine light on. I can smell gas when vehicle is in garage. Looked underneath and found a crack in the fuel tank filler hose flange. Called chevy and found there is a service bullitin, #05012 and TSB 07076. Chevrolet told me the same problem has been found and fixed on models as the Trailblazer, but my vehicle would not be covered. The reason is my vehicl is registered in tennessee and is not on the "corrosion list of states". I did not see the diffrence as there are vehicles documented having the same problem as mine.
I have a 2004 Trailblazer lt with 94,931 miles and am the original driver. The check engine light came on 2-3 years ago and I have taken to several different mechanics to diagnose with no success. In June 2010 I took into the local chevy dealership for 100k service and was told I had a cracked fuel tank filler neck which I had to replace at a cost of ~$1000. This fixed the check engine light as well. Chevrolet is aware of this fuel tank issue and denies there is an issue with any model except 2002-2003 Trailblazer ext's and GMC envoy xl models under TSB 05012. In reviewing the NHTSA website it is apparent the scope of this problem goes beyond these models. The local dealership advised they were aware the Trailblazer models had issues with the fuel tank but referred us to general motors as there was no TSB from gm for this model. I spoke to 3 separate people at gm customer assistance who advised they would investigate and came back within 3 business days and denied any responsibility. I questioned gm about the numerous occurrences of cracked or corroded fuel tank filler neck issues and referenced the NHTSA website. They advised the NHTSA website, where many of these cases are documented, is not a gm recognized website for this type of issue and was essentially told they (gm) ignored complaints from this website. I was advised by the gm rep nothing else would be considered and when I asked for someone "higher" at gm to speak with was told they couldn't provide anymore information. When asked for the corporate address and ceo info I was told they wouldn't give that information out but I could look it up on the internet. Bottom line is Chevrolet does not stand behind their safety claims or vehicle issues and I feel compelled to have this documented on the NHTSA website.
On January 25, 2010, the "check engine" light came on. I took my car in to the dealer on January 28. They said there was a crack where the filler tube attaches to the fuel tank, and the entire tank/filler tube assy would have to be replaced, at a cost of over $1300. Three mechanics at the dealership told me this is a very common failure, they have seen it many times. They said I could look for a used tank to save money on the repair, but they did not recommend it because "all those tanks fail. " I did some checking on line and found that this is indeed a common failure. I called the gm consumer help line and asked for some help on the repair cost, since this is apparently a design flaw and a common failure. The assigned me service request, but a few days later called back and said that gm would not help out on the repair cost. My car is a 2004 Trailblazer with 67,500 miles, and thus out of warranty, but I believe gm should still be at least partially responsible for a common failure.
2004 chevy Trailblazer leaking gasoline from the fuel line. Gasoline is leaking out of tank constantly all over the garage and anywhere the car is driven. Huge fire or explosion hazard. Same problem as special code 07099 and TSB #05012 where extended warranty was issued on ext models only.
The nipple part of the fuel tank that connects the filler line to the fuel tank has cracked and leaks fuel when we fill up and when we drive and do to the fact that we park in the garage with the (wet) leaky side of the fuel tank within five feet of our gas water heater we are lucky people to be alive. (this is a faulty piece of plastic and by the way the reviews/complaints look on this site we are not the first to experience this issue).
I was smelling gas fumes coming from my '04 chevy Trailblazer. After some investigation found that the fitting going into the fuel tank from the fill line is leaking. The check engine has been on for a while.
- the contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet trail blazer ext with an odometer reading of 40,000 miles. The failure mileage was 36,000. The first incident involved leak in a fuel hose and the second was a crack in the fuel tank. The dealer advised the contact to call and complain to NHTSA since the 2004 are not under the recall, and the 2002 are under recall for the same issue. The dealer had temporarily repaired the vehicle. The contact smells fumes while driving. The fumes are detectable while driving at any speed. The contact did not hit anything to cause the damage. The contact has repair invoices and pictures.
The problem is that my 2004 Chevrolet trail blazer spits up fuel back out of the fuel tank after filling up the tank. I am not trying to top off. Everytime I fill up, fuel spits back out from the tank after I remove the fuel pump. I have taken my car to the dealer twice now, they are on their third attempt to fix the problem. It happened several times before I took my car in to the dealer. I thought maybe it was the gas station I was using. So I tried several different pumps in different cities and the same thing happened. That's when I decided to take the car in for service.
I have had my vehicle for less than a month and filled it with gasoline 6 times in two cities at different gas stations. I never have topped off the tank, but when the fuel pump handle clicks off, the gasoline pours out from the tank under my vehicle. It never matters how much fuel I put in the vehicle it always "over flows. ".
