Fuel tank problems on other Tahoe years
No other Tahoe model year has enough reports of fuel tank problems for a sheet of its own. See every Tahoe year.
What this problem usually is
This group mixes an annoyance with a hazard. On the annoying side, the pump at the gas station keeps clicking off before the tank is full, or the fuel gauge jumps around and reads wrong. On the hazardous side, owners smell gas in or around the car or see fuel dripping underneath. Some say it only happens right after filling up.
What got replaced
Owners who name the part that was replaced mention the fuel line (15 reports) and the fuel pump module (6 reports).
Recalls and investigations
No recall on the fuel and propulsion covers the 2015 model year as of Oct 2, 2026.
When it happens
Too few of these reports state a mileage to give a range.
What owners wrote
“I am leaking fuel from the fuel lines connected to the fuel tank. I can smell the fumes inside of the cab. I also can see the fuel leaking under the driver seat.”

“Leaking fuel from the in-line on top of gas tank. Very dangerous and alarming that this is a known issue and you choose to set back doing nothing. Itâs the same exact problem that everyone is talking about so itâs be nice to be reimbursed for the parts or repair or something”

Should you keep driving it?
This page can't tell you that. 0 of 26 reports involved a crash. Owners who file are the ones who had a bad experience, and nobody checks their reports. If the problem affects steering, braking, power or a fire risk, treat it as a safety fault and have it inspected before a long or high-speed drive.
File your own report with NHTSA. Complaint counts are how a problem gets an investigation. How reports land on this sheet.
