Consumer Description

MY 2004 TRAILBLAZER SUDDENLY OMITS A TERRIBLE GASOLINE SMELL WHEN I START THE ENGINE AND WHEN I SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A LEAK AT THE GAS TANK (BY A SEAL) WHICH CAN ONLY BE FIXED BY REPLACING THE ENTIRE GAS TANK FOR APPROX $ 800-$900 FOR THE TANK ONLY, NOT INC LABOR. I HAVE PURCHASED MY VEHICLE NEW IN 2004 AND IT WAS NEVER IN AN ACCIDENT, I AM THE ONLY DRIVER. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY FACTOR, IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD? BEING ON A FIXED INCOME I AM UNABLE TO SHELL OUT MONEY FOR A NEW GAS TANK AT THIS TIME. WAS THERE A RECALL CONCERNING THIS MATTER? *TR
