Car failed to start properly and dealer indicated the "fuel pressure regulator is leaking". The fuel pressure regulator was replaced and the problem solved, but I was charged for the service. A recall had been placed on the same car (Buick Park Avenue) model for factor replacement of the fuel pressure regulator for other cars bought the same year (2000). Was told I must file a complaint if I expected to have the service paid by a recall.

4 Fuel Injection problem of the 1999 Buick Park Avenue

Failure Date: 12/13/2003

The morning of December 13th, 2003, my father (james) started his 1999 Buick Park Avenue in the garage. Upon turning the key, he heard an explosion. He opened the hood to find the engine compartment engulfed in flames. He then pushed the car out of the garage and called 911. The police and fire department came and put out the fire. One of the firemen, who works on cars, told us that he had worked on 2 other cars that experienced the same thing. Colin hames.

5 Fuel Injection problem of the 1998 Buick Park Avenue

Failure Date: 08/19/2003

Fuel pressure regulator: the fuel pressure regulator went out on my 1998 Buick Park Avenue 3800 v6 and I had it replaced on 8-19-03 at a cost of $142. 79. It has come to my attention that Buick has now issued a recall on the Buick Park Avenue (NHTSA campaign #03v473000) for fuel pressure regulators and Buick has informed me that my Park Avenue is not part of this recall. I believe that my car is involved with this problem since I have had the exact problem that Buick is now involved in. I believe that if my car is involved that Buick should be held responsible for my repair and the cost that I have incurred. I have documents to support the fact that the part was replaced and I paid for the repair.
