2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER — Complaint #519428
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about EQUIPMENT:RECREATIONAL VEHICLE/TRAILER:LPG SYSTEMS:LINES AND FITTINGS filed February 1, 2005
NHTSA complaint #519428 (ODI reference 10108358) concerns a 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER and was filed on February 1, 2005. The owner reports the failure occurred on December 3, 2004. The report was geocoded to Florida based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:lines and fittings, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. No VIN was supplied by the filer, so this complaint contributes to model-year trend data but cannot be tied to a specific vehicle.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER cohort independently describe similar equipment:recreational vehicle/trailer:lpg systems:lines and fittings failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THE PROBLEM IS THAT MY 2004 CHEVROLET TRAIL BLAZER SPITS UP FUEL BACK OUT OF THE FUEL TANK AFTER FILLING UP THE TANK. I AM NOT TRYING TO TOP OFF. EVERYTIME I FILL UP, FUEL SPITS BACK OUT FROM THE TANK AFTER I REMOVE THE FUEL PUMP. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALER TWICE NOW, THEY ARE ON THEIR THIRD ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE I TOOK MY CAR IN TO THE DEALER. I THOUGHT MAYBE IT WAS THE GAS STATION I WAS USING. SO I TRIED SEVERAL DIFFERENT PUMPS IN DIFFERENT CITIES AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THAT'S WHEN I DECIDED TO TAKE THE CAR IN FOR SERVICE.*AK
