Other Fuel System Hoses Lines/piping, And Fittings Problems of Chevrolet Trailblazer

Smelled gas odor from rear of vehicle. Crawled under and found gas tank leak at the connection of filler pipe to tank/check valve. Understand this was known defect on earlier years and tanks wer covered by a special coverage plan 14423. Any extensions for later (2008) model years?.

Code 440, smell of gas on different occasions from the gas tank area. Replaced gas cap & purge valve. Smell continues. Not sure what is factor for the smell, yet it has gotten stronger. A few times I have smelled the gas while driving,, tho, most times it is upon exiting the vehicle it is most notable.

Received a letter from gm regarding potential problem with fuel tank inlet valve. Took vehicle to dealer len stoler, inc in westminster MD in December. Problem was diagnosed as a fuel tank inlet valve fracture. On Dec 3rd 2015 fuel tank was replaced and inspection done. Subsequent to service when fuel was placed in vehicle gas poured out on pavement. Prior to that service this was not an issue only the smell of fuel in the interior and a few drops of fuel noted. Took vehicle back to dealer and problem now diagnosed as inlet pipe fracture. Was told I would have to pay for this service, despite service dept having not mentioned this when fuel tank was replaced and vehicle inspected and left dealer in unsafe operating condition. Part was not available and was told I should drive it and have work done later. Since this part is connected to fuel tank should have been noticed when fuel tank was replaced and work done at that time.

Tl- the contact owns a 2008 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that the fuel tank leaked fuel and the fuel cap indicator light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who cramped the tank cap but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 76,000. Djr.

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer ext 370. While in a parking lot, the vehicle stalled without warning. The vehicle was towed to an independent dealer. The technician diagnosed that the fuel pump and fuel filter needed to be replaced the filler inlet was also cracked. The contact mentioned that the fuel pump, the fuel filter, and the hose were replaced. However, the fuel tank filler inlet was not. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 115,869.

Vehicle dic shows "tighten fuel cap" message. Message appears even if fuel cap is tightened. Message still illuminates after replacing cap. Fuel in tank can be at any level and light still illuminates.

I started smelling gas fumes inside of vehicle. I thought it was just sensor or gas cap letting fumes out. I took my vehicle in to get repaired and was told there was a crack in neck on fuel tank and leaking fuel. The cost of replacing the fuel tank was $1390. 00. I also looked up to see if there had been others that had the same problem and they were with most all vehicles under a 100,000 miles. I called gm and was told there was never a recall issued on this. I think their should have been a recall since this was a serious safety hazard.

Ses light came on. Dealership had no apps brought to mechanic. Code was for fuel emission leak. Replace gas cap. Week later code ses came on again. Brought back to the mechanic, said fuel tank is cracked. Called chevy and was told there was a recall but not my VIN. . . . .

Plastic weld connecting fuel fill pipe to fuel tank has cracked. Contacted gm about this issue & was informed that this vehicle had just missed the campaign to fix this problem by one month. Why is this campaign (07099) a limited TSB & not a safety recall? vehicle would not pass state emissions inspection. Technician repaired leak with epoxy that sealed long enough to prevent vapor leakage to pass emission test. Now that has failed and once again vehicle will not pass emissions. More importantly the fuel vapors emitting from vehicle make it unsafe and impossible to park in an enclosed area. This is not due to a worn part or corrosion,this is due to a faulty design that eventually will cause an explosion. Worse yet gm offers no discount on this very expensive tank assembly to correct this problem. I can not think of a more dangerous condition that has been so ignored. Perhaps when the fires start there will be another congressional hearing about gm's ability to respond to such a serious and possibly loss of life hazard that they refuse to assist owners in correcting.

Was constantly having the service engine light soon come on. Went to my repair shop and they said I needed to replace my gas cap. They reset the sensor and replaced my gas cap. Same thing happened on and off over the last 9 months. On July 18th it happened again . Took it to different shop and they performed a smoke test and found a crack in the gas tank where the filler tube is, so when the gas tank is full it leaks or when you corner. Not a lot but I would assume that any would be bad considering the exhaust pipe is right there. Looking online I found NHTSA already had an item regarding this issue its number is pe07014. I contacted chevy and was told that my VIN number was not attached to the action but it is the same issue that was noted on the NHTSA action notice and research I performed on the web. Did they tell you that they were only going to cover certain VIN. I could not find this anywhere on your site. But could have missed it.

Like so many others, my 2003 Trailblazer began to reek of gasoline, permeating our garage & house with the smell. The dealership offered to replace the fuel pipes between the tank & the fill cap; however, they said I have to pay for the fuel filter myself. Note that prior to warranty work, there was no leaking, puddling of fuel, or any indication that it was leaking. There were just fumes. It has only 95k miles on it, so it's within the 120k/10 yr warranty for this problem. Unfortunately, when warranty work began, they "discovered" a leak when they removed the belt that holds the tank to the body of the vehicle. They are claiming that I "must have" gotten a rock or some debris underneath the belt to have caused the leak. Funny, it didn't leak until they touched it. Now the area rep is demanding "customer participation" in replacement of the fuel tank (which they admit is a safety hazard). Oh, & when they showed me the leak, I specifically asked if it was covered under the warranty and the service rep said "of course, you don't need to worry". But as soon as the gm area rep bailed on paying the escalated warranty work, the dealership recanted their promise to me. When I protested, the service manager suggested gm might not pay anything if I proceed with a warranty claim, costing me $1100+ for the fuel tank and $100+ for the fuel filter. I know the area rep has a fund to pay for it, but chooses not to. All service work including oil changes have been performed at the dealership on time, from day 1. The warranty service offered to me is less than others with the same problem have received (gm paid full repairs for others, incl. Fuel filter & fuel tank). I can prove that the vehicle was not leaking gasoline prior to the time warranty work began. History shows leaking gas tanks have a nasty tendency to blow up. Is that what it will take to make this right?.

Due to a service engine soon warning light and smelling gas inside my vehicle, I took my vehicle to my local mechanic. He stated there was a crack in the neck of my fuel tank. The tank needs to be replaced. He also stated that this is a common problem with Trailblazers. I then took the vehicle to the gm dealer where it was purchased. Their initial diagnosis was the fuel cap needed to be replaced. At that point I asked them to check for a crack. They did and verified there is a crack. I mentioned gm campaign 07099a - a recall for Trailblazer ext's to remedy this problem by replacing the fuel tank at no charge. Unfortunately, this recall only affected certain VIN #'s and mine is not within the affected number range. I believe this is a very dangerous safety defect that should be remedied by the dealer at no cost to me. The dealer offered a 50/50 resolution which to me only serves to prove their culpability in the matter. I do not feel safe driving the vehicle and am very concerned for my safety and the safety of my two year old granddaughter whom I regularly transport in this vehicle.

I am the original owner of a 2003 Trailblazer. During the last couple of months, my husband and I have been smelling gas off and on. We were parked in a parking lot and as I got into the car, I told my husband I smelled a strong odor of gas. Our engine light went on. We took our vehicle to the repair shop and they found a crack between the gas tank and the filler pipe and cap. We took our vehicle to a Chevrolet dealer and they said there was not a recall notice on our VIN # and they were not responsible for the replacement of the tank. We had a new fuel tank replaced at our local repair shop. The cost of the fuel tank replacement was $1,215. 50. One spark in the road and we would have lost our lives. We understand that there was a recall notice on 2002 Trailblazer, but not 2003. What is the difference? safety is safety no matter what year. Does gm want to save a few dollars compared to lost lives? we were shocked on our internet research through tsbs which showed a great number of individuals owning a Trailblazer with this very same problem. Gm should stand by their "safety and quality first" which we found online and reimburse all Chevrolet owners with this dangerous problem. There should definitely be a safety recall notice on this problem.

I have been smelling gasoline in and around my vehicle for about a year. One mechanic told us to replace the gas cap, which we did in November 2012. It didn't help. Now we are being told that the gas tank needs to be replaced which will cost hundreds of dollars. I am very concerned for the safety of my grandchildren that I pick up from school. .

I herewith request that NHTSA opens an investigation into the performance/reliability of the fuel level sensor installed in model year 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer vehicles. In case the fuel tank level sensor is or becomes defective it could result in a subject vehicle running out of fuel, stall, and being rear ended by another vehicle. The currently owned Chevrolet Trailblazer 2006 has already the third fuel sensor. The first replacement took place when the vehicle was 6 months old, the second replacement took place in spring 2010. Gm customer service and the Chevrolet repair shop denied a malfunction of the involved fuel sensor. I am still in possession of the third (old) sensor. Complaints to adelco, the supplier of the fuel sensor did not lead to an result either. Never received a satisfying answer from gm nor from adelco. In the internet I found multiple complaints from other Trailblazer owners regarding the fuel sensor. Since my vehicle has the fourth fuel sensor I do have problems again (fuel cap not properly closed warning light comes on sometimes, engine/emission failure light comes on sometimes). Gm customer service in detroit told me to go tomy local chevy dealer and ask them to review the problem and estimate the cost. I was told they would afterwards make a decision to reimburse me for the cost. After the repair service gm and the dealer declined the reimbursement request and claimed the part failed because of the high mileage. The replaced sensor was for only 40000 miles in the vehicle. The second fuel sensor was installed before I purchased the car from a gm dealer (was never told about that problem).

The contact owns a 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer. While warming up the vehicle, gasoline began spraying from the fuel line. The vehicle was towed to the dealer and they stated that the fuel line was rotted and needed to be replaced. The contact was informed by both the dealer and manufacturer that the repair was his responsibility. The current and failure mileages were 71,009.

Strong gas smell, within a few days could smell on the outside of the vehicle. There was no gas visable at any time. Found out the fuel pump assembly had rusted out. This vehicle is only five years old, well taken care of.
