There is an open safety recall on this make and model #06230A due to crack/leak that develops in the fuel tank. I purchased this vehicle in April 2015 and in June it developed a strong odor of fuel vapors. My mechanic confirmed that there is a crack/leak in the fuel tank. I called Buick for assistance to replace the tank and they opened case #71-1490527942. They instructed me to take it to the dealership for verification of the crack. That was completed on 7/16/15. Now Buick is refusing to provide assistance for the replacement of the tank. My vehicle only has 79,688 miles. The special coverage was extended for 150,000 miles or 10 years. They informed me that the special coverage expired in 2013 and that the recall doesn't cover my VIN, although this is clearly the same make and model with the same issue. I can't help but wonder how many other owners of this vehicle are in the same hazardous situation? Buick admits it may be a life-threatening hazard and advises that the tank should be replaced immediately, but they refuse to accept responsibility for this manufacturing defect. Once again, GM exhibits depraved indifference to their customers' lives. I would appreciate a follow up from NHTSA.

The fuel inlet pipe containing the inlet check valve is fractured and fuel vapors and fuel is leaking out. GM data previously revealed that elevated ambient temperatures, higher carbon content in the icv and variation in the manufacturing process were contributing factors for cracks in the icv. The car was located in southern Florida for an extended period of time which has caused the fracture in the icv.

My wife's Rendezvous has been leaking gas for the past year. I've looked on every sight seeing if her car is due for a recall and it is saying that the only recall on her vehicle is the frame. I don't know if it has already been accomplished or not because she had the vehicle before I married her. But the incident has got much worse.

My gas tank is leaking exactly like in the description of recall # 07V349000 but im not sure if it is covered under the same recall.

Bought my Rendezvous a few months ago and have had problems. My side air bags deployed with the previous owner for unknown reasons causing him injury to his ribs. They were never replaced by manufacturer. When I first got my car I filled up the tank. Bad idea! I came out the next morning and smelled a strong odor of gas and was missing a quarter tank. My boyfriend looked underneath and said it was leaking between the fill tube and the actual tank. My mechanic said there is no way to patch this and the only way to fix it would be to replace the whole thing. Approximately costing $1000. He also said changes are this will be recurring because it's a common problem with this make/model. So now I only put a half tank in my gas tank but I've noticed a smell of gas inside and outside of the vehicle. When I first bought my car the next day my car wouldn't start. I had a dead battery. My interior lights never turned off. Again, to repair this electrical problem would have been expensive. I ended up taking the sensor out, so now I have no inside lights at all.
