2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER Fuelpropulsion System Problems

IT'S LEAKING GAS FROM LINES ON TOP OF GAS TANK MECHANIC CHECK IT OUT I JUST CAN'T AFFORD IT I'M DISABLED ON FIXED INCOME RAISING MY GRANDSON

IN 2018 WE WERE HAVING A FUEL PRESSURE ISSUE AND DISCOVERED THAT THE ICV HAD CRACKED AROUND THE GAS TANK. WHEN I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE I FOUND THERE WAS A SPECIAL COVERAGE WARRANTY FOR THE ISSUE AND CALLED THE NEAREST CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COVERAGE HAD EXPIRED A MONTH EARLIER AND THEY WOULDN'T HONOR THE COVERAGE BUT IF WE WANTED THE CAR FIXED IT WOULD BE OVER$1000. WE'RE NOT THE FIRST OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND IM SURE THAT'S WHY I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTICE OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE. CONSIDERING THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL TANK AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN MY CAR, I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING WHY THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE EXPIRED IN THE FIRST PLACE. PEOPLE BUY USED CARS ALL THE TIME AND IF THE DEALERSHIP DIDN'T CATCH IT BEFORE SELLING THE CAR IT'S UNFAIR TO PUT THE EXPENSE ON THE NEW OWNER WHEN IT'S...

MY DRIVER SEAT CAUGHT FIRE WENT TO OPEN THE DOOR TO FIND A HOLE IN MY DRIVER SEAT AND THE ROOF TOP BURNT AS WELL. I ALSO HAD A NEW FUEL PUMP PUT IN DUE TO IT LEAKING GAS AFTER PUT IT. IT CONTINUES TO LEAK.

ERROR CODE INDICATES A PROBLEM WITH THE EVAP SYSTEM. WON'T PASS STATE EMISSION TEST. CANT DIAGNOSE FURTHER BECAUSE OF A GAS LEAK AT THE GAS TANK FILLER HOSE CONNECTION TO THE GAS TANK. NOTIFIED BY MECHANIC THAT THEY REPLACED TANKS UP TO 150,000 MILES BUT MY TRUCK IS 185,000.

THE AREA AROUND THE FUEL TANK FILLER NECK, WHERE IT CONNECTS TO THE FUEL TANK, IS LEAKING. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH 2002 - 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT'S AND GMC ENVOY XL'S. IT IS COVERED UNDER GENERAL MOTORS SPECIAL COVERAGE PROGRAM #14423 FOR 15 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES. MY TRAILBLAZER NOW HAS 180,000 MILES ON IT AND I HAVE BEEN SMELLING GASOLINE FUMES IN THE AREA OF THE FILLER NECK FOR A LONG TIME, BUT I DIDN'T KNOW WHERE IT WAS COMING FROM. I JUST FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS PROGRAM AND CHECKED THE FILLER NECK AREA AND FOUND THE LEAK. BECAUSE THE VEHICLE'S MILEAGE IS OUTSIDE THE MILEAGE LIMIT OF THE PROGRAM, GM WILL NOT COVER THE REPLACEMENT OF THE FUEL TANK AND FILLER ASSEMBLY. I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE THAT MAY BE HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE, BUT I HAVE NO CHOICE.

FUEL LEAKAGE FROM FUEL TANK. VERY NOTICEABLE AFTER FUELING UP, AND WHEN IT'S WARM OUTSIDE. FUEL SMELL AND VISIBLE FLUID DRIPPING FROM THE FUEL TANK. VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE, AND GM IS UNWILLING TO COVER THE COST FOR THE POOR QUALITY OF THE DESIGN OF THE FUEL TANKS. IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM THAT GM AND IT'S DEALERSHIPS TRY TO PASS THE BILL FOR REPAIR ONTO THE CONSUMER.

SOUNDS PRETTY DANGEROUS TO ME. I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP AND SURE ENOUGH, MY VEHICLE WAS AFFECTED AND THE FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE REPLACEMENT FUEL TANK PART WAS ORDERED BY THE DEALERSHIP IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND THE REPLACEMENT PART HAS STILL NOT COME IN, 6 MONTHS LATER. I'VE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, AS WELL AS GM/CHEVY CORPORATE AT LEAST 20 TIMES OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS AND THE UPDATE I RECEIVED TODAY FROM THE DEALERSHIP WAS THE PART 'MAY COME IN SEPTEMBER 2016 OR IT MAY NOT'. I CAN'T DRIVE THE VEHICLE DURING THIS TIME DUE TO THIS DANGEROUS GAS LEAK REPAIR. THIS...

CANNOT PUT GAS IN TANK BECAUSE OF BACK PRESSURE

TRAILBLAZER FUEL SYSTEM

WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN DECEMBER 2015 I RECEIVED A "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" DISPLAY. I TOOK THE SUV TO A SERVICE CENTER WHO INFORMED ME MY FUEL TANK WAS CRACKED & NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THEY ORDERED A NEW TANK BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO OBTAIN THE PART. WHILE RESEARCHING THE SITUATION, I FOUND RECORD OF AN NHTSA INVESTIGATION (ACTION # PE07014) CONDUCTED IN 2007 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, INVOLVING THE SAME MAKE, MODEL & YEAR AS MY VEHICLE IN WHICH GM WAS SUPPOSED TO SEND LETTERS TO OWNERS & REPAIR THE FUEL TANKS FREE OF CHARGE. I NEVER RECEIVED THE NOTIFICATION AND REACHED OUT TO GM CUSTOMER SERVICE TO FIND OUT WHY, FILE A REPORT AND EXPRESSING MY GRAVE CONCERNS REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUES OF DRIVING A VEHICLE IN THIS CONDITION. OVER THE COURSE OF APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS OF COMMUNICATION, I WAS ADVISED MY VIN WASN'T INCLUDED IN...

THE SA FIRST STARTED OFF, WELL WE UNDERSTAND YOU ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE PART BEING BACK ORDERED. NO I AM MAD BECAUSE IF THEY SENT OUT LETTERS TO CONSUMERS, DON'T YOU THINK YOU SHOULD HAVE THE PART IN TO FIX THE ISSUES WITH THE TRAILBLAZER? CHEVY IS DRAGGING ITS FEET TO FIX ITS OWN WARRANTY THAT IT EXTENDED TO CONSUMERS. THE LONGER I DRIVE AROUND WITH THIS LEAK, THE LONGER OTHERS PARTS SUCH THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL MODULE, ETC WILL FAIL AND CHEVY SHOULD...

FUEL TANK HAS TINY CRACK AT THE WHERE THE TANK IS WELDED TOGETHER AND GASONILNE AND OR GASOLINE VAPORS LEAK OUT CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.

I DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL A FEW WEEKS LATER I NOTICED THAT I HAD A LEAK OF SOME SORT AND IT HAD THE GAS SMELL BUT WITHIN ANOTHER WEEK MY GAS MILEAGE PER TANK OF FUEL WENT DOWN DRASTICALLY AND I NOTICED I HAD PUDDLES UNDER MY VEHICLE INSTEAD OF A FEW DRIPS NOW.

I HAVE A 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND IT STARTED TO HAVE THE SMELL OF GAS AND A DIP FROM THE FUEL TANK. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS WAS A FIX THAT WOULD BE COVERED BY GENERAL MOTORS.

GAS LEAK RUST AND CORROSION. *JS

GAS HAS BEEN SPILLING OFF THE GAS TANK METAL FLANGE WHERE THE INTAKE HOSE ATTACHES TOO. CHEVROLET DEALER DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THIS AS A RECALL . APPARENTLY A FATALITY NEEDS TO BE DIRECTLY LINK TO THIS PROBLEM BEFORE THIS ISSUE IS ADDRESS. *TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED DUE TO LEAK IN EVAC SYSTEM ACCORDING TO DIAGNOSTIC TEST. DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED LEAK TO BE AT WELD WHERE FILL SPOUT TUBE IS ATTACHED TO FUEL TANK. STRONG GASOLINE FUMES WERE PRESENT COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. I WAS INFORMED THAT THE FUEL TANK WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED AT COST OF $1300.00. INTERNET RESEARCH REVEALED THAT GM HAD A TSB ADDRESSING THIS PROBLEM (CAMPAIGN #05012), BUT IT ONLY APPLIED TO EXT MODELS. SINCE THIS IS, IN REALITY, A FIRE SAFETY ISSUE, I BELIEVE GM SHOULD ALSO INCLUDE ALL MODELS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILEAGE. *TR

PUT VEHICLE IN PARK AND STAYED IN DRIVE. SHUT VEHICLE OFF AND PUT ON PARK HOWEVER STILL IN DRIVE AND NOW WILL NOT START. SINCE I WORK ON VEHICLES I LOOKED AT TRANSMISSION LINKAGE AND FOUND CABLE CAME OFF TRANSMISSION LINKAGE. PLASTIC CLIP BROKEN. LOOKED ON LINE AND FOUND TRANSMISSION SHIFTER CABLE REPAIR CLIP FOR $14.99. SINCE IT WAS SPECIAL ORDER I WENT TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS NO REPAIR KIT AND THAT THEY HAVE PLENTY OF SHIFTER CABLES IN STOCK $75.00 WENT AHEAD AND ORDERED AFTERMARKET PART SPECIAL ORDER 2 DAYS AND TODAY 3 DAYS LATER WAS TOLD OUT OF STOCK AND NONE AVAILABLE TIL DECEMBER. COINCIDENCE OR IS THIS A COMMON PROBLEM? I'M AFRAID SOMEONE WILL NOT KNOW OR REALIZE VEHICLE STILL IN DRIVE WHEN SHIFTER MOVES TO PARK AND NOT MOVING SHIFTER LINKAGE AT TRANSMISSION. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK AGO, THERE WAS A STRONG ODOR OF GAS INSIDE THE CAR. IT APPEARS ALSO THAT I HAVE BEEN LOSING FUEL AS MY TANK WENT DOWN MUCH QUICKER THAN NORMAL. I DID LOOK AT THE GAS TANK TODAY AND I SEE WHAT APPEARS TO BE A WET SPOT WHERE FUEL HAS LEAKED BUT DO NOT SEE A HOLE. I HAVE 2 YOUNG CHILDREN AND FEEL THIS IS A HAZARD AND DEFECT OF THE VEHICLE. I DO SEE THAT THERE WAS A BULLETIN ON THE EXT MODEL OF THE TRAILBLAZER AND FEEL THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE. *TR

THE ENGINE JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING. THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT. *TR

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...

I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A GAS ODOR COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY SUV, AND WHEN I CHECKED I FOUND THAT THERE WAS A GAS LEAK IN THE GAS LINE THAT GOES FROM THE GAS FILTER TO THE ENGINE, AND I ALSO FOUND OUT THAT TWO OF THOSE LINES WERE STUCK TO EACH OTHER. THE ONE THAT HAD THE LEAK WAS TOUCHING THE CHASSIS, SO THAT WHEN IT VIBRATED IT COLLIDED CONSTANTLY WITH IT. THAT'S WHAT CAUSED THE LEAK. *TR

LEAKING FROM THE FUEL PUMP FLANGES, CAUSED FUEL LINES TO CORRODE AND LEAK ONTO GAS TANK. GAS SMELL COMING FROM REAR OF VEHICLE. THIS WAS A GREAT FIRE HAZARD AS A DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE AND SAFETY OF OTHERS! PE 07013 COST TO REPAIR $763.76. *TR

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.. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAD A VERY STRONG SMELL OF GASOLINE INSIDE THE SUV AND ALSO OUTSIDE AND WHEN I STOPPED ON ROAD FUEL WAS POURING OUT OF IT AND I GOT SO FRIGHTENED THAT IT WOULD CATCH FIRE. MY FUEL TANK GUAGE WENT FROM A FULL TANK TO LESS THAN A HALF TANK OF GAS IN A MATTER OF MINUTES AND THE SUV WAS SLUGGISH AND FELT WEIRD. I TOOK THE SUV IMMEDIATELY TO MY CAR REPAIR PLACE AND THEY DISMANTLED THE GAS TANK AND FOUND THE FUEL MODULE TO HAVE A HOLE IN IT AND IS CORRODED. I LOOKED ONLINE AND THERE IS A NHTSA ACTION NUMBER OF PE07013 ON IT AND I FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ONLINE AND I AM VERY UPSET AS THIS REPAIR IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO A THOUSAND DOLLARS AND I AM A DISABLED AMERICAN VETERAN AND THIS AMOUNT OF MONEY...
