| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Noticed on several occasions that vehicle seemed to be leaking fuel when parked and turned off. most recent case occurred shortly after refueling. dealer diagnosed as a "cracked fuel sending unit". apparently this allows fuel to be spewed out of the tank when parked. dealer indicated that it wasn't covered by warranty due to mileage. co-worker discussed almost identical problem with his yukon xl (except his spewed more fuel into his garage and need to be cleaned-up by hazmat team). this appears to be more than a random occurrence of a problem that has significant safety and environmental implications. i believe further investigation (by the nhtsa and general motors) is warranted. *nlm |
