| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I got a strong smell of gasoline in my 2003 chevrolet trailblazer. i stopped at a garage and they looked at it and said the fuel line was either busted or corroded. they could not fix it right away, but said they didn't think the fuel line on a 2003 vehicle should be rusted. the gas was pouring out underneath the vehicle causing a fire hazard. i called the local chevrolet dealer and they could not fix it either, but they informed me that it would be rusted through that they are replacing a lot of them and also brake lines. i ask if there was a recall for this on the vehicle, and he said no it's just the ice melting materials they use on the roads around here. the gas tank has to be removed and the lines need replaced. the garage that is doing the work says that the fuel pump and filter should be replaced while the tank is down. i don't believe a four year old car should have fuel lines and brake lines rusting out like that. i think it is an engineering mistake on the materials these lines are made from. i am sure a lot of other people have spent large sums of money to repair this problem and if my complaint can get a recall started that would benefit all trailblazer owners. *tr |
