2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer fuel/propulsion system problems

“TAKATA RECALL MY CAR SMELLS LIKE GAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE WITH NO VISIBLE GAS LEAKAGE. THIS SMELL IS NOTICEABLE BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING. THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS OF THIS NATURE ON CONSUMER CHAT SITES”

“B LAZER HESITATES WHEN DRIVING AND NOTICE A GAS SMELL WHEN I TURN ON BLAZER AT THE BEGINNING AND I NOTICED A LEAK INSIDE BUT WAS NOT SURE WHERE ITS COMING FROM. I CONTACTED CHEVORLET DEALER ON POSSIBLE RECALL THEY STATED ITS NOT ON THERE SYSTEM AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSE AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE MAYBE THEY MAY NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THIS. WHY WOULD I HAVE TO PAY FOR DIAGNOSE IF ITS SOMETHING ON THEIR END AND ITS ONLINE AS A RECALL ON BLAZERS. I THINK THIS CAN BE A HAZARD TO BE SMELLING GAS THAT FLOWS IN TO AIR SYSTEM OF THE BLAZER WHILE DRIVING.”
