THE 2003 CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER I HAVE OWNED SINCE I PURCHASED IT BRAND NEW IN 2003 WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT ON 10/24/2010. MY KIDS WERE DRIVING WHEN ANOTHER VEHICLE SIDESWIPED THEM, CAUSING THEM TO LEAVE THE ROAD. WHEN THEY REENTERED THE ROAD, THE VEHICLE HIT THEM AGAIN CAUSING THE TRAILBLAZER TO FLIP OVER A GUARDRAIL AND ROLLOVER SEVERAL TIMES; LANDING ON ITS ROOF. THERE WERE FOUR VEHICLE OCCUPANTS (INCLUDING THE DRIVER). NEITHER DRIVER, PASSENGER SIDE NOR SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED DURING THE ACCIDENT. *TR

FUEL NECK LEAKS ON GAS TANK ON MY 2003 CHEVY TRAILBLAZER PURCHASED IT FROM A LOCAL DEALERSHIP ON 08/14/10 WITH 107782 MILES ON IT. WE KEEP IT IN OUR GARAGE AND (THAT IS ALSO WHERE PEOPLE GO TO SMOKE) SHORTLY AFTER WE GOT IT HOME WE NOTICED A GAS SMELL IN THE GARAGE SO WE STARTED LOOKING AT IT AND NOTICED IT. LONG STORY SHORT WE TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOLD US THE FUEL NECK WAS CRACKED AND THE PURGER TANK WAS BAD. THEY TRIED A SILICON ON THE LEAK WHICH DID NOT WORK SO THEY SAY THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. NOTICED THAT OTHERS WHERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. CALLED GM TO SEE IF THEY WOULD IN ANY WAY COVER THE REPAIR OF AN KNOWN ISSUE, AND WAS TOLD THAT SINCE I BOUGHT IT USED AND IT HAS OVER A 100,000 MILES THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING! NOW THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT WANT TO DO ANYTHING, AND ARE MAD BECAUSE I CALLED GM. THEN I DID A CARFAX TODAY AND NOTICE THERE IS A MILEAGE ISSUE. *TR
