Other Fuel System Problems of Buick Rainier

In driving cross country, filled up the fuel tank and resumed travel when the fuel gauge immediately went to empty (I didn’t even have time to drive up the highway ramp back onto the highway). The alerts started ringing and blinking and dash board told me there was no fuel. I went to a gravel area and inspected the engine compartment, under the car and the interior to be sure I was not missing anything, then restarted the SUV. Could not find any issues anywhere, including leaking fuel. I took off the fuel cap and reattached it to be sure there was no problem there. I had no choice but to get on the highway and continue my journey. The problem continued for the following 1000 ish miles. When I got home I contacted my dealer and set up an appointment to look at vehicle. They found the vehicle needing a sensor kit which was a recall back a few years ago. I had the issue repaired which took 3 days. They may have the removed items. Attached please find the invoice from the repair that shows the message numbers, etc from the inspection prior to and during repair. Since this issue was a recall, but I understand not for my vehicle but for many similar SUV’s and pickups of the same area of manufacture; I feel the same components were used in my vehicle and should be paid for and included in this recall. Attached please find the invoice if I can figure out how to get it attached to this type of format.

The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the inlet check valve fractured and needed to be glued together as a temporary remedy due to part unavailability.

I recently was driving my vehicle when I realized the speedometer was incorrectly working. For a few days it was acting up then stopped working all together. Then a week or so later the gas gauge reads empty when I had just filled it. I am very concerned with these matters for I use this vehicle to transport 3 very small children and both issues are very unsafe. I read now that there are several other complaints with these matters along with several other issues with the same make of vehicle. I would think that gm would offer a recall on these issues because they are both very expensive to have fixed. When ii priced the speedometer cluster my mechanic wanted over 500. 00 to fix and I currently can not afford these costs due to being out of work on medical leave.

I have various types of problems with my 2005 Buick Rainier. I have owned it for about 6 years now and it currently has a little over 93,000 miles on it. I am reported the problems to you so that you can document the problems to your list and I am also hoping that you can let me know if there is a recall for these issues? 1. Awd is not working. When there was snow on the ground. It caused me to ditch my car when I was turning a corner at a very low speed. There was a car coming towards me, but missed my car. Thank goodness it did not injure someone, myself or my car. The rear also slides when it is wet/raining outside. I'm scared to drive it when it is wet outside. . . Especially when there is snow on the ground. 2. My drivers side door caught on fire. I just seen that my door could have been covered by a recall, but I didn't know that then. I paid for another door and installation. 3. When I am turning my steering wheel to back-up. There is a grinding noise. 4. My speedometer does not work. I drive with other cars when I can, but I also drive several country roads. I have received 2 speeding tickets due to this. 5. My gas gauge does not work. I keep track of my gas by my current mileage and per gallons of gas, but I have still ran out of gas at least 8 times and. . . Nearly got hit in the rear several times. 6. I believe there is a windshield recall. Is it still active? I do know that all of my car problems are very common with Buick Rainier's and I am hoping that there is active recalls on all of these serious issues and that Buick/gm will gladly repair them. These are all safety issues that could result in fatal injuries. Thank you for your help, research and response. Sincerely, marilyn stowers.

In November of 2010 I had to have my 2006 Buick Rainier's fuel level sending unit replaced due to to faulty readings. The cost of the repair was $410. 69.

When I park my 2004 Buick Rainier in my garage there is a strong smell of gasoline which is getting worse over time. I went on the internet to research and ultimately found that the 2004 gm envoy (sister vehicle) had a recall due to a similar issue and that gm confirmed in 2008 that the 2004 Buick Rainier fuel line can rust and cause this condition. Although I understand gm extended the warranty to 10 years and 120,000 miles there was no notice to consumers that I am aware of. My truck is 9 years old but has 128,000 miles. I will go to the dealer this week to see if they can help. Historically the dealer has been less than helpful with problems as I did not purchase the vehicle from them. Being unemployed I would rather fix my truck at this time as a new car is not a reasonable solution. Any suggestions you can offer to help me would be appreciated.
