| Due to a service engine soon warning light and smelling gas inside my vehicle, i took my vehicle to my local mechanic. he stated there was a crack in the neck of my fuel tank. the tank needs to be replaced. he also stated that this is a common problem with trailblazers. i then took the vehicle to the gm dealer where it was purchased. their initial diagnosis was the fuel cap needed to be replaced. at that point i asked them to check for a crack. they did and verified there is a crack. i mentioned gm campaign 07099a - a recall for trailblazer ext's to remedy this problem by replacing the fuel tank at no charge. unfortunately, this recall only affected certain vin #'s and mine is not within the affected number range. i believe this is a very dangerous safety defect that should be remedied by the dealer at no cost to me. the dealer offered a 50/50 resolution which to me only serves to prove their culpability in the matter. i do not feel safe driving the vehicle and am very concerned for my safety and the safety of my two year old granddaughter whom i regularly transport in this vehicle. | |||

| I was driving down the road when i ran out of gas. it still showed over 100 miles left on the gauge. that was about 3 months after i purchased the vehicle. about two months later, i had the same problem. i started keeping the gas on 3/4 of a tank at all times to make sure there was fuel in it. the problem kept happening. today, it was on 200+ miles and i ran out. this is ridiculous! do i really have to keep track of how many miles i put on it so i know when i need to refill? *tr | |||

| I just gased the chevrolet trailblazer and was driving down the road and we could smell gas did not think much of it because we just got gas then the check engine light came on it was a po442 code evaporative emission control small leak detected so i have been smelling gas off and on and keep getting the po442 code. so i go buy a vent valve solenoid and put it on clear the code i notice gas around the intake pipe on the gas tank so i take a closer look and its broke half way around the filler neck and this is a recall on certain vin #s but mine is not included in this recall i think it should be when you are dealing with fuel and the amount of fuel that can leak out this can be a fire hazard for sure i think gm needs to step up and take care of this problem on all vehicles that have this problem instead of picking an choosing certain vin #s. *tr | |||
