Some Chevrolet Trailblazer owners report experiencing persistent exhaust odors in the cabin despite no mechanical issues being found. These odors may stem from various factors, including exhaust leaks that allow fumes to enter the vehicle, or faulty door and window seals that fail to keep external exhaust fumes out. Additionally, a malfunctioning exhaust manifold gasket can contribute to the unpleasant smells, as can a rich fuel mixture or oil leaks near the exhaust system. To effectively address these issues, it is recommended that owners have their vehicle inspected by a qualified mechanic to identify any hidden exhaust leaks and ensure the exhaust system is functioning properly. Checking the integrity of door and window seals, as well as resolving any fuel mixture or oil leak problems, may also help eliminate the persistent odors.
