What owners wrote
I bought a chevy trailblazer in march of 2004, brand new. In november 2004 I smelled a strong odor of gas fumes and took it to the dealership for repairs, they fixed the gas odor, but it did occur to me that my trailblazer may have been causing the severe headaches I had been having since march of 2004. My headaches did decrease in frequency then cease after I quit driving the trailblazer. My husband then started driving the trailblazer.
