We had just completed a 1,000 mile trip for a family emergency. When we arrived at our destination, we found that somewhere during the last 500 miles of the trip, we had developed a fuel leak. After removing the fuel tank, my husband discovered a break in the fuel feed hose, as well as several worn spots in the line and on the top of the fuel tank. We were traveling in 100 degree weather, and I am just thankful at this point that the Suburban did not catch on fire!
2015 Chevrolet Suburban fuel system complaints

We experienced a massive fuel leak from the top of the fuel tank. The car was still able to run, but there was fuel draining all over the place around the bottom of the car. My wife drove the car with our four kids in it for about 50 miles before we knew what was going on.
While I was driving approx 45 -60 MPH I smelled gas, I dismissed it thinking that I was smelling the old truck in front of me. I parked my suburban at my destination and still smelled it but I dismissed it because I was late to my appointment. When I came back out to my vehicle approx 2 hours later I still smelled the gas pretty strong. I looked underneath and didn't see any drips, I was parked on grass so I couldn't see any puddles if there was any. I got in and drove approx 100 yards to pick up my son in the parking lot and still smelled it, I shut the vehicle off and looked under, there was a drip about every second coming from the bottom of the fuel tank and it looked like it was coming from the top of the tank where I couldn't see. I took it to eagle buick gmc in crystal river and they said it was the 2 fuel lines on the top of the fuel tank. It was approx $680.00 to fix. While I was waiting for the vehicle I did some research and found that this is pretty common and is due to a design flaw. The gas lines rub against the chassis and get a hole in them. I do believe this is a safety issue and should be a recall.
Vehicle had trouble starting finally started drove to store a smelled gas inside and out of vehicle looked under vehicle to see gas leaking from fuel tank
Gas line or tank is leaking and there is a recall for this on chevy suburbans, but a recall for this is not listed with my VIN. This is a safety hazard and I should not be required to come out of pocket for this when it is a known issue for vehicles in this class. I started the engine yesterday morning and noticed a gas smell. When I backed out of the stationary spot I noticed gas on the driveway.
2015 chevy suburban. Starting my car the morning of 19 aug 20 I found it odd that it struggled to start. Arrived at work and noticed a strong fuel smell, didn't think much of it, maybe the car next to me. I leave work, and it struggled again. Thought I should look a little when I got home. When I arrived it smelled strongly of fuel again. Upon the inspection of my vehicle, I found the fuel leak. The fuel tank is completely soaked in gasoline. I take it to my trusted mechanic to have a better look and he informed I have to replace the hose in the fuel line above the gas tank between were the two doors meet. Part no. 23248011. It was stationary when I suspected something but evidence suggest the line was rubbed against other components in the undercarriage and damaged the fuel system while in motion. Probably from the other complaint I'm about to put in about the dreaded highway vibration between 75-80 MPH. And that's not speeding, there are highways in texas up to 85mph and tollways at 75mph. A little inconvenience of vibration isn't much of a concern. At first. Fuel however is a major safety concern. This needs to be addressed.
Noticed strong smell of gasoline around outside of vehicle. Looked underneath and found gasoline leaking from top side of fuel tank. Noticed this condition after driving vehicle and pulling it into my garage. Went to start vehicle to pull it out of garage and it hesitated to start.
28 june took truck in for routine oil change and have cabin filter replaced @ 84k. Less than 24hrs later started driving on hwy and smelling strong odor of gas coming in through my vents thought maybe its exhaust from another vehicle. After parking the truck for a few days I got back in my truck late 3 july and smelled a strong odor of gasoline in the truck and along the outside. 4 july my husband looked under vehicle and took a picture. The smell of gas was not occurring prior to vehicle being serviced and as I keep reading online several other complaints have been filed for this exact thing. This is an extreme danger especially since I have 4 children and this is our daily vehicle. This vehicle could easily catch on fire or cause death due to inhalation. There should be a recall or safety advisory issued for both the 2015 suburban and 2015 tahoe as this is a known issue . Chevrolet corporat has been notified case number [xxx]. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Check engine light comes on due to intermittent high-pressure fuel pump leak. While gm has recalled some vehicles for this problem under recall sb-10057680-1621, bulletin, 14858. Gm is not covering the repair, even though the issues match the recall for similar model year vehicles. The light came on while the vehicle was driving.
We noticed a strong fuel smell from our vehicle. When we moved it we noticed a puddle below the drivers door and rear door. Upon inspection it appeared to be a consistent drip of fuel. Our dealer reports that there is a break in the pressurized fuel line which is located above the gas tank. From our review of internet complaints from other owners, this appears to be a product defect in the 2015 suburban.
Have a 2015 suburban and fuel is leaking from top of tank and trying to see if there is a recall on the clamps because I read something about vent line clamp recall
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 chevrolet suburban. The contact noticed a fuel odor around the vehicle. The dealer diagnosed that the plastic tube connected to the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The dealer did not have the part available. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 31,000.
Head gasket improperly installed blew engine and damaged radiator.
\the accelerator pedal and brake pedal are separated by 1-1/4 inches. At rest, the brake pedal is about 1/2 inch higher than the accelerator pedal. When depressed, the brake pedal is 1 inch lower. It is very easy to move your right foot from the accelerator to depress the brakes and not be far enough over to avoid also depressing the accelerator at the same time. There is 4 inches of space between the accelerator pedal and side of the car body on the right side. This is plenty of room to relocate the accelerator pedal to the right, perhaps so that there is the width of a man's shoe sole between the two pedals.
I felt a shutter time to time at start up, and would feel like the wheel would grip on hard turns backing up, was like this for a couple of days. Filled tank & drove out of town, at destination noticed leakage under car, under drive seat. Thought it might be condensation. Vehicle sat for 2 hrs., no leakage visible at start up, after starting vehicle notice leakage began again and this time at a larger volume, could smell the fuel. Called dealership they picked it up on tow truck, when back end was lifted, a significant amount poured out from under car. Was told that the fuel hose/fuel pump has the cause due to rubbing. First 3 weeks was told part was on backorder, then that it was going to become a recall and that the part needed to be redesigned and that there was no immediate time frame for vehicle return. I have been driving a dealership loaner for 2 months now. Dealership asked if they can "craft" a patch to get my vehicle out of the shop. I denied this, considering I don't know what the legalities will be. Very disappointed in chevy, this is my 3rd suburban/tahoe and I'm considering filing lemon law.
The vehicle had approximately 3500 miles when returned to dealership. The primary issue was "running rough." the vehicle was in the repair shop over five weeks. In three incidents picked up the vehicle when it was supposedly fine. Within minutes the cecile stalled and starting to shutter. Warning indicators include engine and transmission system, emission system, stabilitrack stability control system, and antilock braking system. Vehicle unsafe to drive. The 2015 suburban was newly designed. Repair bulletins were issued. Vehicle recently picked up and still "runs rough." the vehicle handles differently as it shifts from v4 to v8 (fuel economy design) when slowing. This makes the vehicle handling inconsistent depending what mode it is operating and can be unsafe. Other potential safety issues when raining, the rear camera (backup) is not functional. Also, when starting in reverse, there is an extended period the "computer is loading" and their is no input although your backing up. In essence, the rear backup warning system is not functional.
Since purchasing this vehicle in july of 2014 it has been back at the dealer several times for the tighten gas cap light & the check engine light. Even if gas hasn't been put into the car for several days the light just comes on and soon after the check engine light comes.
