2006 Buick Rendezvous has massive fuel leak on fuel supply line leading from tank to injectors. This is a known issue with this model and year due to the heat shield wrap installed by manufacturer. Occurs when vehicle is running and then drips for in excess of 5 minutes after vehicle is turned off.

Car kept running hot and no remedy was found for it. Batteries and other repairs were done concerning the electrical things; but the car running hot was never resolved even with replacing the thermostat etc. I could only drive about a block and the check cooling system error came on and the car speed would automatically slow down and the engine would automatically cut off if you continued to drive it while hot....smoke from the hood etc. Would happen. Could feel intense heat when raised the hood. If the car was stationary....after running for a while it would still run hot and eventually the hot light would come on in the inside warning panel. The last mechanic took it apart and never put it back together, neither fixed the car running hot problem. The uploaded files and pictures will show the condition my car was left in and the auto parts taken aloose/apart and not reconnected.

I am the owner of a 2006 Buick Rendezvous with 133,000+ miles. I am writing to document a serious safety issue that has occurred as a result of a manufacturer defect on my vehicle. On October 17 2016 I filled my tank at the shell station at 5842 columbia pike in Virginia. Once the gas tank was filled, I noticed a significant amount of fuel pouring from the underside, top and down the side and rearmost end of the gas tank. The fuel spillage continued for approximately five minutes but not before at least a half gallon of fuel leaked from the tank. When the tow truck arrived, the driver told me that he could not Transport the vehicle because of the risk posed by the fuel leak. I contacted another tow truck who took my vehicle to ourisman in alexandria Virginia. Currently, I am without a vehicle and will incur significant expense and inconvenience through a vehicle rental or public transportation until my vehicle is repaired. Since the incident, I discovered that the issue is prevalent on all years of the vehicle. There are thousands of complaints and numerous NHTSA campaigns which point to fuel line corrosion, fuel inlet check valve weld breakage, and fuel tank rust as prominent causes. GM issued a recall for specific vins providing repair at no cost to the owner. My research also revealed that many owners whose vehicles had the same defect but we're not covered under the recall, were either provided a fully covered repair, or reimbursed for expenses under a special service coverage provision. Given the significant risk of ignition, fire and/or explosion that this documented manufacturer defect has caused, and the safety risk that this vehicle now poses to me and my family, I am requesting that whatever repair is required to remedy this defect be covered in full by General Motors. I will await and expect a response by Friday October 29, 2016.

Fuel lines in engine are rusted and needed to be replaced. This occurred around engine and leak could have started a fire in the engine compartment because of the hot pipes etc. This leak was extremely dangerous because of location

I purchased this vehicle used in December 2014, the very first night driving it home, the engine would nit start. I immediately called the dealer, took the car back and watched as they ran a diagnostic. Nothing was wrong with it. I did some research and it seems to be a normal issue with the make and model. Then I noticed the faulty gas guage, reading low fuel then all of a sudden I have gas. Again, contacted the dealer, took it back and yet again, diagnostic ran with clear readings. I looked up thaylt issue and of course, complaints about the same issue were common. Finally, on April 9th I was on my way home and was involved in an accident. It was a front impact accident which totaled the vehicle. The air bags failed to deploy. The windshield was completely shattered, glass flew everywhere. After the front impact, the vehicle rolled over then landed on on the passengers side. How is it safe to have multiple complaints about serious issues and nothing be done about it by the manufactures! I almost lost my life due to the airbags failing which is a, yet again, a common complaint!

Discovered problem before an incident occurred but I believe this issue requires some attention. The steel fuel supply line on my 2006 Buick Rendezvous that goes from the gas tank to the fuel injectors has a sleeve on it, located beneath the drivers seat, that traps moisture causing accelerated rust and corrosion of the pressurized supply line. The vehicle is only six years old and the amount of rust around the sleeve is advanced relative to the surrounding areas. Without attention, the fuel line appears as if failure is imminent. While rust is inevitable and expected, this amount of rust in a relatively short period of time is surprising and, most likely, caused by the protective sleeve installed at the factory.
