Error code indicates a problem with the evap system. Won't pass state emission test. Cant diagnose further because of a gas leak at the gas tank filler hose connection to the gas tank. Notified by mechanic that they replaced tanks up to 150,000 miles but my truck is 185,000.

Fuel leakage from fuel tank. Very noticeable after fueling up, and when it's warm outside. Fuel smell and visible fluid dripping from the fuel tank. Vehicle isn't safe to drive, and gm is unwilling to cover the cost for the poor quality of the design of the fuel tanks. It's a known problem that gm and it's dealerships try to pass the bill for repair onto the consumer.

Fuel tank inlet check valve fracture - chevy trailblazer (2003) I received the attached notice for special coverage in november 2015 for my trailblazer's fuel tank inlet check valve that fractures and allows for fuel to seep out of the tank. Sounds pretty dangerous to me. I took my vehicle to the local chevy dealership and sure enough, my vehicle was affected and the fuel tank needed to be replaced. The replacement fuel tank part was ordered by the dealership in november 2015 and the replacement part has still not come in, 6 months later. I've called the dealership, as well as gm/chevy corporate at least 20 times over the past 6 months and the update I received today from the dealership was the part 'may come in september 2016 or it may not'. I can't drive the vehicle during this time due to this dangerous gas leak repair. This is wildly unfair. I was patient, but this is ridiculous - a replacement part should not take a year to receive. I'm guessing the part will not arrive in september either, as I was told in january 2016 that the part would arrive in february 2016 and obviously that didn't happen (today is april 15, 2016). Finally, the service I received from gm/chevy corporate was appalling. Donna seymour - a senior advisor at gm/chevy (1‑866‑790‑5600 ext. 5911534) provided the worst service I've ever had, anywhere. She repeated would say she would call me back and fail to do so, and do absolutely nothing to try to resolve the situation. She was awful and gm/chevy should be ashamed that they treat their customers in this manner.

Extended warranty fuel tank filler leak known issue with chevrolet which affects other parts such fuel pump, fuel module, etc chevrolet has been aware of this issue since 2007 and I just got a call from a senior advisor from chevy stating that the "replacement part" is not going to be in until april.I find this unacceptable since I am driving around with a gas leak. The sa first started off, well we understand you are complaining about the part being back ordered. No I am mad because if they sent out letters to consumers, don't you think you should have the part in to fix the issues with the trailblazer? Chevy is dragging its feet to fix its own warranty that it extended to consumers. The longer I drive around with this leak, the longer others parts such the fuel pump, fuel module, etc will fail and chevy should cover these parts also. How does chevy expect me to drive around for 5 months with a fuel leak?

I have filed a prior complaint and the number is #10695487. I contacted general motors and have never been treated so terrible in my life. The person on the phone told me to either take it to a dealer ( with no help from gm to check it) or get over it and hung up. I am still having the fuel leaking and with no help from gm I will not be able to fix it. I would like to have it fixed because in my mind it is a defect on gm part and they do not want to own up to it. Please help with this issue.

I was dropping the family off at a birthday party before going into work. The family kept complaining about the strong gas fumes. The smell was extremely overpowering. When I arrived at work, I noticed that it looked like gas was leaking around the middle of the gas tank, on top. Then, the gauge started not registering when gas was being put in. It is also very hard to start up. The vehicle takes 2 cranks before it will actually start up. When I asked a mechanic what it could possibly be, he stated that the trailblazers are known for having an exposed area on top of tank that gets corroded and that the fuel pump and fuel sending unit would have to be replaced. The estimate was for $700-800 dollars. I cannot continue driving until it is repaired, otherwise, someone will flick a cigarette out window and the trailblazer will blow up.
