Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I own a 2003 trailblazer and recently i began smelling large amounts of fumes and fuel spilling onto the ground when filliing the gas tank. from my research, i've found that based on the symptoms listed above a manufacturer's defect on the gas tank was honored on the 2002 model trailblazer but was not being issued on the same design flaw on the 2003 model. it was stated that this was not a safety hazard which is hard for me to come to terms with. gm has stated that it would cost $1200 to be repaired at the customer's expense which is just unacceptable since this is the same problem carried over from the 2002 model. *tr
