Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My wife and i have been smelling gas outside and with our 2003 chevy trailblazer ext. i brought it to my mechanic and he found a split at the top of the fuel tank (neck filler plate). i called the chevy number and brought the vehicle to croton auto park. they found the same problem and said it would cost my over $750 to replace the tank. i view this issue to be a manufactures defect and escalated the matter to chevy. they are offering a 50% rebate to fix. i don't believe i should pay for this defect. i have researched the issue and found more people that had the same problem with their chevy trailblazer (same model and year). refer to web site: http://www.topix.net/forum/autos/chevrolet-trailblazer/tc82da8f4uejoj6vf/p2#lastpost. i am waiting on chevrolet's decision as to who is going to pay for this. i cannot drive this automobile in its current condition out of extreme fear of fire and explosion!!!!!!! please feel free to call me for more details. *jb
