Where the gas filler neck connects to the gad tank this area develops a crack allowing gas to leak from the vehicle and during filling up to a couple quarts of gas can run onto cement by the pump, also strong gas smell in the garage.. This also triggers the check motor light. According to internet postings other trail blazer owners are experiencing the same problem.

In the past 3 years vehicle had gas odor upon exiting vehicle upon use. Until recently, fuel started leaking profusely when vehicle was running. General motors issued extended warranty due to many complaints regarding this issue. We being the original owner of the vehicle were never sent any information regarding the extension of any factory warranty regarding this issue. After contacting general motors about this issue, they stated that the vehicle is beyond the year and mileage of the extended warranty. If we would of been notified by gm about this problem with leaking fuel tanks we would of resolved this issue when we started smelling the fumes a few years back when the extended warranty would of been in effect. After contacting gm and speaking with a representative, they refused to honor the warranty. Gm neglected to contact and inform us of any extended warranty that applied to our vehicle regarding this issue. We feel that this problem with the fuel tank is a safety issue that could be a potential fire hazard causing serious injury to anyone inside or around the vehicle. We are going to file a written complaint with general motors. Please let me know how you feel about this situation. Thank you.

Just like so many of the other people who have filed complaints. My truck to has a very strong gas smell. I have been told to replace the cap. I have been told to replace the fuel line or filter. Nothing works. It is puzzling to me that chevrolet is aware of this problem but has not sent out a recall notice to have the problem fixed. This is a very dangerous situation in which I drive my family around and my youngest daughter likes to ride in the very back (third role seating). It is scary to think what could happen. Chevrolet needs to fix the problem or a class action lawsuit needs to be started. Simple as that.

I have a 2003 chevrolet trailblazer ext and it has started to smell like gas is leaking. After some research on the internet I have found this is more common in these vehicles than I would of thought. I have contacted my local dealer and a part is being ordered, but I would like to make sure that it will be at no cost to me to have this repaired. I understand it can fall under a special policy adjustment or tsb# 05012. This is a big safety hazard and would like to know that someone is making sure this is fixed so that a leak will not put any families at risk.

Smell of gas developed around vehicle at all times. Had it looked at and nothing was found. Brought it to another shop and they dropped out the fuel tank, finding the top of the tank wet with fuel and the connection rusted. The solution was to replace the fuel pump and parts.

I have intermittent smell of fuel coming from vehicle; consistently declining mpg; ses light coming on; taken it to the dealership after having received a letter stating that there was a fuel tank or pump issue; they diagnosed that the filler neck was cracked a nd leaking but stated that it wasn't part of the repairs from the letter and said it would cost a $1000 to replace my fuel tnk and then they would replace the fuel pump module for free.
