Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Service engine light came on immediately after filling tank with gas. took to mechanic and they tightened the gas cap and then reset the service engine light and drove around and no light came on. three days later the service engine soon light came on again. took back to mechanic and they ran more diagnostics and found three crack s in the opening (neck) of the gas tank. i had to have the tank replaced in order for the vehicle to function without the service engine light to come on. a new gas tank on a 2003 vehicle is unheard of and i wonder how many other gas tanks on 2003 chevy trailblazers or other gm vehicles have had to replaced due to this same problem?? *jb
