| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I kept smelling the strong odor of gasoline in the garage or even in the parking lot for about a day after i filled my fuel tank on my 2002 chevrolet trailblazer. there sometimes was a wet spot on the garage floor near the filler cap that appeared to be gasoline. the "check engine soon" light eventually came on. the dealer could find nothing wrong when they pressure-tested the fuel system but the computer fault code indicated an evaporative emissions failure. they re-set the light, but the problem persisted and the light soon came back on the next time i re-fueled. i read somewhere on the nets website about other trailblazer owners who had a broken check ball in their filler necks. i suggested this to the dealer who confirmed that this was my problem too. they charged me nearly $300 to repair the tank neck. i feel that this is the result of defective emissions control device and therefore should be covered under warranty. (i have only 50 k miles on the vehicle). at what point does something like this become a recall since this seems to be happening to others as well? *nm |
