What owners wrote
No notice from GM on recall dated 08/08/2007 fuel tank defect. Fuel leaking from fuel tank at this specific location. Dealers will not repair this defect. I am the orig. Owner.
I work at a buick dealership and I also drive a buick rendezvous. We are seeing multiple gas tank leaks at full tank fill ups. The filler neck joint is leaking and the tank needs to be replaced. I have actually been asked to glue over the hole because tanks are on back order, so the customer can have their car to drive.
