When I would start my car in the morning, I would get a overwhelming gas smell in my to point of me thinking gas was leaking underneath my and I would get out and check and nothing. I took it to a mechanic and asked him if the car was leaking gas and he said no. I'm constantly adding power steering fluid to my vehicle at least twice a month . And recently my speedometer needle has started sticking and sometimes not working at all. Ironically my gas needle is always fluctuating throughout my car trips. I'm so nervous when I drive because I think I'm about to run out of gas even though I may have recently added gas to the car. This may sound simple but the gas fumes are making me sick and my two kids especially since all of us suffer from asthma. Please provide a resolution or fix for these unhealthy incidents.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. The contact stated while driving up an incline at various speeds the fuel gauge reading fluctuated.

The manufacturer was not notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000. Rk

We have had numerous issues with the 2005 buick rendezvous. The biggest issue is the fuel loss. The car is leaking fuel. Peoria kia stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and since we purchased it used it was as is. This is very dangerous and we need to get the fuel and electrical system fixed..we have two children and it is not safe for us. I am glad that I found this recall information but I need help getting the fuel and electrical system fixed.
Raw gasoline fumes upon starting the car . Fumes enter the cabin so strong the windows have to be rolled down . No apparent leak. No fuel on garage floor. This begin in =feb 2013 and continues off and on. Some times it feels like it would explode if a ignition source was there. A definite health hazard and gm dealer has not been able to identify the source of the fumes. I see other reports of this problem on the internet. Dealer says no recall and no safety bulletins. 2004 had a recall but not 2005, it is not safe to drive unless problem is found.
Over the past year I have been contacting buick and delphi about the recall on the fuel system in my 2005 buick rendezvous. I recently slightly passed out and crashed in the car due to being overcome by the intensive raw gas fumes. I recently contacted both again and I was told that there is a recall on certain vehicles but my vehicles VIN # is not one identified in the recall. I checked to see if my previous complaint was on file and it was no where to be found. I am making this complaint so before hand so that anyone else with this issue can take it serious and take action right away before they start displaying health related issues like me and my family.
A fuel leak occurred while idling with the gas running back toward and under the driver near the catalytic converter. This could have caused a major fire and loss of life / wife. The buick mechanic found no o ring in the unit. It was not listed as a gm / buick recall and they refused to take responsibility for the cost. An internet check found it to be a the federal safety agency recall (07e021000.) as an "aftermarket equipment by made by delphi." in calling delphi at 877‑411‑8770, they denied responsibility and liability to replace it. When questioned the customer service representative noted he gets "5 or 6 call day about this defective part."
Upon starting the vehicle, raw gas fumes enter the cab in such quantities that make it impossible to drive comfortably or seemingly safely. The fume can be so bad that all windows must be opened and heads held outside of the car to breathe fresh air. My husband driving behind me on the freeway can sometimes also smell the raw gasoline odor. I have taken this vehicle to the dealer twice and they are unable to find anything wrong. I fear for health problems from breathing so many gas fumes as I use the vehicle everyday to drive 40 minutes to work and 40 minutes back home. It is now 01/01/2012 and this problem is still existent with so solution apparent. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Dt*: the contact stated while traveling up or down a hill the fuel indicator gauge gives a false reading. The dealer was unable to determine what caused the problem.
