Fuel leak in line. There is a pin hole in the line spewing fuel under pressure when running. The fuel flows down the side of the tank as I reported in Complaint Number 11587383 on May 7th, 2024. Now I have removed the bed to discover said leak. Adding picture of the leak spewing fuel from line, by "P E" lettering on the line This is a major concern as any flame near the vehicle would cause it to go up in flames. The manufacturer should correct this problem. I see no reason why this hard plastic pipe developed a hole. It is product defect.

Leaking fuel below direct injection fuel pump

Recently I had a strong gasoline smell and leak coming from the vehicle. I took my truck in for inspection, and the mechanic said the fuel pump was damaged. The mechanic took a picture of the damaged fuel pump and could not explain how this part was destroyed in this way. I was charged $639 for the repairs. Since I am currently financing the vehicle, I researched to see if this particular make and model had any recalls. Upon discovery, it happens that in 2018 there was a recall that a high-pressure fuel pump may detach from its mounting flange, possibly resulting in the pump damaging the high-pressure fuel line. I phoned the manufacturer, and they said there was a recall for this issue for specific 2017 models but not for my truck's VIN. Since my vehicle has the same problem mentioned in the recall, I would like an investigation and possible recall on this model and vin since others may have this same problem. In my opinion, Chevrolet should reimburse me in full for damages that could have taken my family, my life, or any other motorist due to the gasoline leakage and damage to the fuel.
