B lazer hesitates when driving and notice a gas smell when I turn on blazer at the beginning and I noticed a leak inside but was not sure where its coming from. I contacted chevorlet dealer on possible recall they stated its not on there system and I would have to pay for diagnose and because of the mileage maybe they may not be able to fix this. Why would I have to pay for diagnose if its something on their end and its online as a recall on blazers. I think this can be a hazard to be smelling gas that flows in to air system of the blazer while driving.
