Consumer Description

GM HAS RECALLED (FIRE HAZARD) 6 MODELS FOR A SMALL OIL LEAK ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS. MY RENDEZVOUS DOESN'T DRIP A 'FEW' DROPS ONTO THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD IT 'COATS' THE WHOLE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE ALL THE WAY TO THE REAR WHEELS. I HAVE TO CARRY A 5 QUART JUG OF OIL WITH ME TO RE-FILL. GOING TO THE DEALER INQUIRING ABOUT A FIX THEY ASKED ME IF I LIVED ON A DIRT ROAD. I'M TOTALLY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT THAT HAD TO DO WITH ANYTHING....BUT NO, I DON'T LIVE ON A DIRT ROAD. WITH THE SEVERITY OF THIS LEAK COMPARED TO THE 'RECALLS' IT SEEMS THAT GM SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR THE FIX. WITH THAT BEING SAID I'M SURE THERE ARE OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THE ENGINE IS RUNNING IT'S LEAKING, THE MOTION OF THE VEHICLE JUST PUSHES THE OIL FURTHER TO THE REAR. I DON'T HAVE PICTURES NOW BUT I CAN GET THEM.
