2027 Chevrolet Traverse problems

Filed Oct 17, 2026 · Fuel system · TX · 1 injury

I am submitting this complaint regarding a serious fuel-system safety issue involving my new 2027 Chevrolet Traverse with approximately 50 miles on the odometer. While the vehicle was stopped, strong gasoline fumes entered the passenger compartment. Because of the potential fire and safety risk, the vehicle was not driven and was instead towed to an authorized Chevrolet dealership. AutoNation advised me that the gasoline leak was caused by **faulty installation of the fuel injectors**. I was informed that the fuel injectors had not been properly installed, resulting in the fuel leak. This condition is extremely concerning because gasoline and fuel vapors are highly flammable and can create a risk of fire if exposed to heat, electrical components, or another ignition source. The presence of gasoline fumes inside the passenger compartment also created a direct safety concern for the occupants. The defect occurred when the vehicle had only approximately 50 miles and was essentially brand new. I am concerned that this may represent a manufacturing or assembly issue that could potentially affect other 2027 Chevrolet Traverse vehicles. The vehicle is currently being addressed through an authorized Chevrolet dealership, and Chevrolet/General Motors has also been notified of the issue. I am requesting that the federal safety agency document and review this incident as a potential vehicle safety defect involving the fuel system and the installation of the fuel injectors.
