2 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 05/24/2010

Engine would not idle below 3000 rpm, and once almost 4500 rpm causing excessive brake pedal pressure, had to actually put auto in neutral at stoplights. This condition would occur at random times, sometimes it would seem to occur 5 or 6 times in a row, and then sometimes it would act normal when engine was started again. Unlike the idiots in the Toyota's I did put it in neutral, however there are apparently a lot of drivers that this would have been a severe problem for. This condition started may 24, ( I remember because it occurred while driving to my birthday dinner) 2010 only occurring once in a while, until engine was stopped and restarted, then by sept it was every week. I had it checked at the dealer on 10/5/10 and they ordered a throttle position sensor and installed it on 10/11/10. This should definitely been a safety recall, and funny this kind of problem was never mentioned as a possibility during the big Toyota scandal. The automobile is a 2004 Buick Rendezvous cxl with a 3400 cc engine. With 57,000 miles on it at this time.

3 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2009

The contact owns a 2004 Buick Rendezvous. The contact smelled a very strong gasoline odor in the garage. She took the vehicle to an independent mechanic and they found a fuel leak. The VIN was excluded from NHTSA campaign id number 03v454000 (fuel system, gasoline:storage). The current and failure mileages were 11,000.

4 Gasoline Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 03/06/2009

My engine light came on and I took my truck to have an oil change where they discovered that gas was leaking my truck and they told me I need to have my gas filler hose replaced before it starts a fire and endanger me and my family. I was researching this on the internet and came across recalls for the same problem that I am having now. I want know how can I see if my truck is on that recall list. I am not the original owner of the truck but I only had it a year and a half. If my truck is only the recall list can I still get it fixed if I am not the original owner.
