Consumer Description

SMELLED GAS IN GARAGE AND MOVED OUR BUICK RENDEZVOUS AND FOUND GAS ON THE FLOOR UNDER THE GAS TANK AND SAW GAS DRIPPING FROM THE GAS TANK. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL REPAIR SHOP. IT WAS DETERMINED AFTER INSPECTION THE GAS TANK HAS FRACTURE AND ALLOWED GAS LEAK. THE REPAIR SHOP LOCATED THE RECALL FROM GM. BUICK ADVISED THE REPAIR SHOP AND MYSELF THE TANK WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY BUICK. I HAD THE REPAIR SHOP REPLACED THE FUEL TANK AT MY COST. FAILURE TO MAKE THE REPAIR COULD HAVE CAUSE A FIRE. EVEN THOUGH THE VIN NUMBER WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED BY BUICK BECAUSE THE DEFECT WAS CONSISTENT WITH THE DEFECTIVE FUEL TANKS OF THE RECALL. *TR
