I HAVE 35,000 MILES ON MY 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS AND I AM HAVING THE SECOND FUEL PUMP INSTALLED. THE CAR STALLED OUT WHILE TRAVELING DOWN A BUSY ROAD WITH NO BREAKDOWN LANES. THE BRAKES AND STEARING WERE MINIMAL CREATING A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

VEHICLE STOPPED RUNNING IN MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. WOULD NOT START. TOWED TO DEALER. IT WAS DETERMINED THE FUEL PUMP WAS NOT WORKING. THERE WAS NO WARNING THIS WAS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. VEHCILE STAYED IDLE FOR 8 DAYS BEFORE A FUEL PUMP COULD BE LOCATED! THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ISSUE WITH SEVERAL MODELS OF GM VEHICLES. DEALER CONFIRMED THE PROBLEM.*AK

I WORK AT A BUICK DEALERSHIP AND I ALSO DRIVE A BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WE ARE SEEING MULTIPLE GAS TANK LEAKS AT FULL TANK FILL UPS. THE FILLER NECK JOINT IS LEAKING AND THE TANK NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN ASKED TO GLUE OVER THE HOLE BECAUSE TANKS ARE ON BACK ORDER, SO THE CUSTOMER CAN HAVE THEIR CAR TO DRIVE.
