The contact owns a 2003 Chevrolet Venture. While pumping fuel the contact observed fuel leaking from the rear driver side of the vehicle. The vehicle was diagnosed that the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 07V349000 (fuel system). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 199,874. Updated 01/27/17 updated 02/02/17.
On 08/13/2010 our 2003 Venture minivan suddenly began smelling of fuel. Upon inspection I noticed fuel streaming from the fuel tank where the filler neck joins the body of the tank. At first I thought the filler hose was loose so I tried to twist it to check the tightness, at this point the neck separated from the tank entirely! about 15 gallons of fuel were spilled and fire rescue were dispatched. This seems to be a problem that is very common with this tank, I have only been looking for a replacement one day and have encountered several tanks with this problem. Some have been repaired with an epoxy but I have been warned this is a "trade it quick" remedy.
