Consumer Description

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. *JB
