Around 50K miles the service engine light came on. I took the vehicle to the dealership. I was asked if I had recently got gas, when I replied yes, he told me to tighten the gas cap and the light would go if in a few days. The light did go off but the mechanic never documented anything about my visit. Several weeks later the service engine light came on again. Thinking that it was the same situation I tightened the gas cap and did not go back to the dealership. This time the service engine light did not go off. I took the vehicle to an independent garage to get it checked out and the result was a malfunction in the fuel system. Often times I smell gas vapors especially after fueling. Recently I was parked on a hill and gas was dripping from my tank. Local dealerships act as if they have never heard of the problem. My warranty has expired.

2004 Trailblazer ls, 65,000 miles, noticed strong gas odor around the fuel filler door. Mechanic just called and said the neck on the fuel tank was cracked and leaking. Repair cost $800+ to replace plastic gas tank. Based on my research this appear a safety manufacturer defect.

Check engine light came on three times within the first month and a half I owned the used 04 Trailblazer. It seems common from what most people posted on the internet that this problem occurs anywhere from 35 - 55K miles. The gas tank would constantly release an odor and I would get dizzy every time I drove the truck. I took it in to the dealer and they said it was just a leak in the gas cap and that it needed to be replaced. Once the warranty expired (one week later), the S.E..light came on again and the dealer service department stated that there was a crack in the neck of the tank and that it needed to be replaced. I picked it up today after it was replaced and totaled to $1,430. GM knows about this problem and hopefully the letter that I have written to them will solve this issue and that I will either be reimbursed or compensated somehow for lost work and interest paid on this bill.
