There is a very bad gas smell coming from my 2002 Trailblazer. From what I'm led to believe it's the gas tank and the fuel pump. I have not had it replaced as of yet but I'm sure I going to have to at my expense. I think it should have been a recall if it is an error on their behave. With all the complaints I'm finding on the internet I think it was something they may have missed.
