I am having trouble out of my vehicle. I have replace several parts and still have not solved the problem. For instance, when I drive my car and cut it off I have to wait 30-45 mins. Before it will start again. I have changed the fuel pump 3 times and other parts of the car and I have not yet found a solution to my problem. I have had the truck for a year and eight months. The vehicle is motion but it cuts off and I have to wait 30-45 mins. Before my truck can restart. It's been going on for some months and I have changed many parts and it still does the same thing.

The failure mileage was 100,052. Djr.
Filled tank and parked in garage. Next morning garage had extremely strong gasoline fumes. Backed car into driveway. Found fuel on garage floor. It was running out of the tank at the junction of the fuel line to the gas tank. It appeared to be the seal between the fuel line (where the gas runs down into the tank when you fill it) and the tank, the intake valve. The leak was severe and dangerous, too dangerous to drive to the dealer 30 minutes away. Choose to drive it to a local garage for repair. The fuel tank and fuel pump seal were replace at a cost of $936. There is an NHTSA campaign id # 09v349000 on this issue. On the gm recall site, there are no recalls listed. We called the Buick number listed and were told that there was no recall, but the issue is being escalated for review. This is a potentially disastrous situation, potential file or explosion hazard.
