2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Complaints

I HAVE NO SPEEDOMETER AND THE BEARINGS HAVE GONE BAD,I CALLED GM TO SEE ABOUT IT AND GET THE RUN AROUND,CAN U HELP. 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS CX. I HAVE ONLY HAD 9 MONTHS. *TR

OUR 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS SPEEDOMETER STOPPED WORKING. THE DEALER CHANGED A SENSOR FOR $125, THAT DID NOT WORK. THEY GREASED THE LINES AND CHECKED IT OUT ON THEIR EQUIPMENT BUT THAT HAS NOT WORKED EITHER. I SAW ONLINE THAT MANY PEOPLE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THIS AND THEIR ELECTRONIC PROBLEMS. IS THERE A RECALL FROM BUICK? *TR

WHILE ON VACATION, THE SPEEDOMETER INDICATED A SPEED OF 20 MPH WHILE IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT I WAS TRAVELING MUCH FASTER. DURING THIS PERIOD, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD NOT GO ABOVE 20 MPH AND AT TIMES INDICATED 0 MPH WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING. THE NEXT DAY THE SPEEDOMETER WORKED CORRECTLY. WHEN TRAVELING HOME, THE SPEEDOMETER WOULD WORK FOR ABOUT 100 MILES AND GRADUALLY WOULD INDICATE LOWER AND LOWER SPEEDS. IT I STOPPED THE VEHICLE AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IT WOULD START WORKING AGAIN FOR AN UNDETERMINED LENGTH OF TIME. THIS IS VERY UNSAFE AND IS UNUSUAL FOR THIS ITEM TO FAIL ON A VEHICLE. I CALLED A LOCAL BUICK DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY HAVE RECENTLY SEEN A LOT OF FAILURES WITH THE SPEEDOMETER AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY SPEEDOMETER JUST STOPPED WORKING. IT HAS NOT WORKED SINCE. SOMETIMES IT SAYS I'M GOING 10MPH AND SOMETIMES IT SAYS I'M GOING 110MPH AND SOMETIMES IT JUST HANGS DOWN AT THE BOTTOM. OBVIOUSLY, THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT KNOWING WHAT SPEED YOU ARE TRAVELING AT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5-10 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT THE DEALER AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO LOCATE A FAILURE CODE OR DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 52,676.

WHEEL BEARINGS ON A 3 YEAR OLD VEHICLE FAILED ON THE RIGHT SIDE. AFTER A $300+ REPAIR BILL, NOW THE LEFT SIDE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. A PRETTY NEW VEHICLE IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. *TR

BUICK 2005 RENDEZVOUS CONSTANT LOUD WHINING OR MOANING NOISE WHEN YOU TURN THE WHEEL REGARDLESS OF SPEED. IT IS EMBARRASSING. NO ONE CAN FIGURE IT OUT. IT HAS BEEN ONGOING FOR OVER A YEAR NOW. *TR

2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS STALLING. ON 4 OCCASIONS TO DATE THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED ON ME. THE FIRST TIME I WAS GOING 70 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND IT JUST SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY. I ALMOST WAS REAR ENDED. I MANAGED TO GET IT TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. IT STARTED BACK UP. THE NEXT TIME I WAS IN A SCHOOL ZONE GOING ABOUT 10 MPH TURNING A CORNER AND IT WENT DEAD. IT STARTED BACK UP. THE THIRD TIME I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT AND IT STALLED. IT STARTED BACK UP. THIS IS VERY WORRISOME AND I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF THE ACCIDENT THAT COULD HAPPEN DUE TO THIS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TRANSFER CASE. APPROXIMATELY ONE WEEK LATER, WHILE TRAVELING 65 MPH THE TRANSMISSION FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE OR THE TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE CAUSED THE FAILURE. AS OF MAY 27, 2008, THE DEALER HAD NOT REPAIRED THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,100 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,150. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS ON 2004-2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS FAIL AT 50-60,000 MILES. THIS IS A COMMON REPAIR ITEM IF YOU TALK WITH AUTO REPAIR SHOPS AND DEALERS. ONE LOCAL REPAIR SHOP REPAIRED 6 VEHICLES THE SAME WEEK - ALL WITH FRONT WHEEL BEARING FAILURE. *TR
