About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
2004 Trailblazer ls with code P0455 diagnosed with broken/cracked seam on fuel tank inlet neck. Very strong fuel odors both inside and outside vehicle. Chevy acknowledged this same problem with the 2002 models via campaign #05012. This is a safety issue, can leaking fuel and/or breathing fumes be deemed as safe? Chevy needs to step up and proactively fix the problem on all Trailblazer models. I know both NHTSA and Chevy know of this problem already, so are liable if nothing is done.
