NHTSA Complaint #10221965 — 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER

FUEL LEAK FROM THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IN MY 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER. I RECENTLY HAD THE FUEL TANK REPLACED BECAUSE OF A VAPOR LEAK CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT TO ACTIVATE. WHEN I PICKED UP THE VEHICLE I DETECTED A STRONG GASOLINE SMELL AND WAS JUST NOW TOLD THAT THE TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS BADLY CORRODED WITH GAS LEAKING THROUGH IT. WARRANTY WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT AS THE MODULE IS STILL WORKING. THIS IS EITHER A FAULTY DESIGN, OR SUBSTANDARD MATERIALS ARE BEING USED FOR THIS PART AS THIS VEHICLE IS NOT ALL THAT OLD, AND THIS CONDITION IS PRESENTING A SERIOUS HAZARD WITH THE GAS AND GAS VAPORS LEAKING FROM THE FUEL TANK. *TR
