Filled tank and parked in garage. Next morning garage had extremely strong gasoline fumes. Backed car into driveway. Found fuel on garage floor. It was running out of the tank at the junction of the fuel line to the gas tank. It appeared to be the seal between the fuel line (where the gas runs down into the tank when you fill it) and the tank, the intake valve. The leak was severe and dangerous, too dangerous to drive to the dealer 30 minutes away. Choose to drive it to a local garage for repair. The fuel tank and fuel pump seal were replace at a cost of $936. There is an NHTSA campaign id # 09V349000 on this issue. On the GM recall site, there are no recalls listed. We called the Buick number listed and were told that there was no recall, but the issue is being escalated for review. This is a potentially disastrous situation, potential file or explosion hazard.
