Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:STORAGE filed November 28, 2007
NHTSA complaint #647817 (ODI reference 10210204) concerns a 2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS and was filed on November 28, 2007. The owner reports the failure occurred on November 14, 2007. The vehicle had 62,706 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Virginia based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as fuel system, gasoline:storage, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same BUICK RENDEZVOUS cohort independently describe similar fuel system, gasoline:storage failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
