There is a recall - investigation # ea 07-006 that describes a gas leak near the inlet of the gas tank. I smell gas fumes in my garage every day after filling up the tank and there is residue under the tank inlet on the floor of the garage. I took the vehicle to the Buick dealer on 10/4/08 and they indicated there was no evidence of cracks and this vehicle was not part of the recall. I am still having the problem and the dealer has provided no remedy. There is gas residue along the side of the tank. What can I do? so far the dealer has done nothing but inspect.

I own a 2003 Buick Rendezvous AWD. Service engine light came on Saturday. Sunday gas was dripping from my car. I was told by my mechanic that the failure was between the fuel intake valve and the fuel tank. He suggested that I check to see if there were any recalls for that particular problem and there was for the exact same problem on 2004 models. I can only get parts through the dealership and I am trying to resolve this with them right now. In the meantime I have to be afraid to drive my car with my children, and my car smells like gasoline.

The gas tank fill hose enters tank in a poorly situated location. The hose enters the tank on the side, bottom through a flexible boot. The boot/hose in this location is susceptible to damage from road debris. The boot was torn open by a stone the size of a golf ball hitting the vehicle while moving at 60mph. The tear was significant (3/4" tear in boot where connected to tank). The filler hose should have been located either higher on side or on top of tank. Potential of fire or explosion severe.
