| Gas leaked from fuel lines which were crossed when vehicle was built as result rubbing occurred and lines ruptured causing fuel to leak out. went to dealer first time this happened and wouldn't admit this is why the leak happened originally. husband has patched a few times now while we wait for new gas lines to come from gm becaus we refuse to go to dealer and use our own garage. hope new law goes into effect regarding that as well. very dissatisfied and it looks like there was another complaint about this. will not buy chevy ever again | |||

| Tl-the contact owns a 2005 chevrolet suburban. the contact stated that when walking around the vehicle he would smell gasoline and couldn't tell where it was coming from, but there was a leak underneath. the vehicle was inspected by a dealer who informed the contact that the odor came from a fracture in the fuel lines. the mechanic advised the contact to leave his vehicle behind because driving the vehicle was causing the the fuel lines to rub together. the vehicle was repaired for the fuel lines from the front and rear of the vehicle. the failure mileage was approximately 70,000. tb | |||

| Last week, i filled up my gas tank as usual. when i went to pull off, the gas light failed to go off, the gas needle did not move and the bell to indicate that the tank was empty went off. the dealer stated that it's my fuel sending unit and that he's seen several of these defect lately...and that i should check for a recall. since, i've had to monitor when i gas up and how far i drive...which is not only frustrating, it's scary! the needle now floats from full to empty and everywhere in between, but for the most part, it rests on e. vehicle in question is 2005 chevrolet trailblazer...this model is not given as an option in later screen where i entered suburban. i own a chevy trailblazer. thank you *tr | |||
