What owners wrote
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 chevrolet tahoe. While parked in the garage, the vehicle suddenly caught fire. The fire department investigated and stated that the fire originated from underneath the hood. They also advised her to not move the vehicle until it has been inspected by the dealer. A police report was filed and two people sustained injuries. She believes the fuel pump caused the failure because the explosion was very large. The VIN, engine size, and number of cylinders were unknown.
This vehicle is only 8 years old and fuel lines, fuel pump are rusted to the point of failing to support the pressures within the system. Obviously, the type of steel, thickness of fuel line steel material is not made in such manner as to give a reasonable service life before failing. This is a clear failure of an important system within this vehicle that everyone relies on performing to a level of reasonable trust.
