2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer check engine code P1467
On 2/21/25 when I turn on vehicle the engine light came on. I checked for the code and it was P1467 for the Evap Purge Pump. I checked for the gas pump cover and didn't see anything damaged and closed it tight but engine light still on. I feel the gas or engine smell is also coming through the inside of car when fan is turned on and not safe health wise.
Strong gasoline smell noticed inside and outside vehicle. Took vehicle to dealership 3/1/24 where the smell was confirmed. Fuel rail was found to be leaking. Dealership removed and replaced all components damaged with leak. This problem started again Friday, 8/23/24. Did not resolve and got stronger. Car will be going back to the dealership Monday, 8/26/24 for evaluation.
Very strong gas smells coming from under the hood. After driving a few miles, fumes enter the passenger compartment. Had to stop parking it in our garage for fear of a fire before I could get it into the dealer. I've been told it's a fuel leak associated with the fuel rail system. I'm 20 days past my warranty and only at 29,000 miles. It's a nearly $2000 fix. GM was aware of the problem in 2021 as there is a service bulletin for this item. I should have been notified in 2021 that there was a possible problem which could lead to a fire or explosion.
The contact owns a 2021 Chevrolet Trailblazer. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, an abnormal fuel odor was coming from the vehicle, without warning. While in traffic, the contact started feeling dizzy and pulled over. The contact’s son who was following her vehicle, also stated that he could smell fuel upon approaching the vehicle. The following day, the vehicle was taken to a dealer where the mechanic discovered a crack in the fuel rail. Upon investigation, the contact discovered Service Bulletin: PIP5765, which she linked to the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and the contact was provided a case number. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 21,000.
Took to mechanic due to strong fuel smell coming from engine area. Mechanic said not safe to drive - fuel rail leaking and must be replaced - vehicle could catch fire or explode! I drive grandchildren in this vehicle and was shook up! Vehicle towed to GM dealer who said I was 3400 miles passed my warranty but they would start work on my $3k repair. I’m outraged that GM cares so little about this known issue from the GM bulletin PIP 5765 which was published 11/18/20. All this time they have known about faulty and dangerous part but only send recalls for minor issues like possible faulty tire jack.
