AFTER SMELLING GAS FUMES AND HAVING THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" LAMP ILLUMINATED, I TOOK MY 2002 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER EXT TO MY MECHANIC FOR SERVICE. THE ATTACHMENT FROM THE FUEL FILLER LINE AND THE GAS TANK WAS LOOSE. HE RELAYED THAT CHEVY WAS HAVING A LOT OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS. AFTER PURSUING THIS WITH GM, I FOUND A SPECIAL POLICY # 05012. GM WILL FIX THE PROBLEM ON VEHICLES WITH UP TO 70,000 MILES. MY VEHICLE HAS 72,000 MILES. GM REFUSES TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. *JB
