About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
A fuel leak occurred while idling with the gas running back toward and under the driver near the catalytic converter. This could have caused a major fire and loss of life / wife. The Buick mechanic found no O ring in the unit. It was not listed as a GM / Buick recall and they refused to take responsibility for the cost. An internet check found it to be a NHTSA recall (07E021000.) as an "aftermarket equipment by made by delphi." In calling delphi at 877-411-8770, they denied responsibility and liability to replace it. When questioned the customer service representative noted he gets "5 or 6 call day about this defective part."
