2015chevy Tahoe LT fuel pump rattle cause fuel line to rattle. Service Bulletin Bulletin No.: 17-NA-304 Date: February, 2020 Subject: Brand: Cadillac Chevrolet TECHNICAL Ticking, Rattle and/or Buzzing Noise Heard from inside Passenger Compartment, Possible Fuel Leak Model: Escalade Escalade ESV Model Year: from VIN: Engine: L86 L86 L83 L83 L83, L86 L83, L86 Transmission: to from to Suburban Tahoe 2015 Yukon Models Yukon XL Models 2020 GMC Involved Region or Country North America, Middle East, Europe, Russia, Chile, Columbia, Ecuador and Peru. Condition 1 Some customers may comment on the following condition: -?? Arattlingand/ortickingnoisethatmaybelouderinsidethevehiclethanoutside. -?' The noise may be picked up at the back of the left valve cover, and/or underneath the vehicle near middle of the driver-??s door. -?' This noise will be noticeable at idle, most noticeable in the 700-900 RPM range. -?' The noise may also sound like a lifter tick. -?' This may also be called a fuel line buzz or ringing noise. -?? Whiletherattleisoccurring, theS-shapeportionofthefuelfeedline, rightinfrontof the tank, will be vibrating / rattling. Condition 2 Some customers may comment on a fuel leak. Diagnosis that the fuel leak is originating from the fuel feed line at the molded-in clip on top of tank. Cause The rattling, ticking noise may be caused by the check valve in the low pressure fuel feed jumper line at the engine not fully seating, allowing pressure pulses from the high pressure side back into the low pressure side of the fuel system. These pressure pulses could cause the S-shaped portion of the fuel feed line, in front of the tank, to vibrate and/or rattle If the S-shaped portion of the fuel line rattles over a period of time, the fore-aft motion in the line could result in wear. This wear could result in a fuel leak where the line is secured into the molded-in clip on the tank.

The fuel feed hose that tracked on top of the gas tank rubs against a portion of the tank and a pinhole sized hole gets created. Anytime the vehicle is on or fuel pump pressurizes the line, fuel is sprayed all beneath the vehicle. Gm has made a -€œfix-€ to the line by adding a shroud to the updated part. Part number 84200271 is the updated part. I contacted Martin Chevrolet in crystal lake Illinois and was advised since my vehicle was out of warranty nothing was covered. Spraying fuel due to bad engeeniering is as unsafe as it gets.

Came home and could smell gas. Had just filled up so ignored it. Next day, just pulling into driveway, husband could see gas pouring out the bottom below the drivers seat area.. fuel line split. Had to have it towed to dealership and paid nearly a grand to get that repaired. Warranty wouldn-€™t cover it..

Starting on August 13, 2022, my 2015 Chevrolet Tahoe exhibited a harder than normal start condition prior to a drive of approximately 80 miles home from visiting a relative. The car drove normally on that trip. After that return home I parked the subject vehicle in the garage and emptied it of my belongings. I noticed a fairly strong gasoline smell and inquired with my wife if perhaps she had re-fueled our other vehicle and experienced any over fill. Shed said no, so I left the garage open to see if it would air out of the fuel smell. It did through the course of the afternoon so I closed the garage that evening. The next morning (August 14, 2022) we had an event to get to in the morning and were planning to take the subject vehicle. The vehicle again had a hard start issue and within 10 seconds of starting I could smell fuel while inside the vehicle with the windows up. I immediately stopped the ignition and looking under the subject vehicle. I saw gas flowing down the side of the fuel tank from above and dripping on the floor at a rapids rate of 2-3 drops per second. This continued for about 5-10 minutes gradually slowing down since the the ignition had been shut off and as the fuel pressure in the system was reduced. By the end there was a puddle of fuel about 1 ft in diameter on my garage floor under the vehicle. From that point and after any strong gasoline vapor smell had subsided, I decided the vehicle needed to be moved from the garage and parked on the street. I parked it on the street and decided I would take it to Marty Feldman Chevrolet immediately early in the morning of August 15, 2022, while roads were less busy. There was no warning light or indication prior to the leak. In some quick research, I found several concerns related to fuel line abrasion and fuel pump leaks/failures. Marty Feldman Chevrolet diagnosis/repair costs are documented in this complaint. Components are available for inspection.

Fuel supply line coming out of gas tank is leaking. Looked up on internet and found this to be a very common occurrence, with several pictures of Tahoe's sitting on the side of the road on fire. This is such a common issue on 2015 models that GM should recall and fix. We can't wait for a recall, I know that takes a lot of time. The Tahoe is my wife's ability to get to work and home, as she is the breadwinner in our family, I am on SSDI for total disability. We need someone or some organization to step up and assist us in getting this problem fixed and since it is a design flaw resulting in a serious safety issue, GM should be held responsible for the repair. Local mechanic found the problem after wife smelled strong odor of gasoline in garage where vehicle is parked, which happens to be directly below our bedroom, thus if a fire started in garage, with my health and mobility problems, we might not be able to escape. This is a serious problem, common with this model and I'm sure you've heard about it several times, please help us.

Technical Service Bulletin 17-NA-304 1..6 should be a recall if it involves a fuel leak. My vehicle has experienced this issue, and fuel is actively leaking (right next to the exhaust). With 2 small kids in the car everyday, and Chevy (and the NHTSA) knowing this since September, 2017, how is this not something that a consumer is notified about, and fixed by the manufacturer immediately? I would appreciate if someone could contact me to talk me through this not being a recall.

I was driving down the road at 65mph, when My transmission blew. I believe the correct term is that my torque converter went out. I basically came to a dead stop in traffic, endangering my life and my children's. My understanding is that this is a common issue with this type of transmission. Chevrolet should be ashamed of themselves for not recalling this item.
