2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Complaints

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. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS. THE GAUGES SHOW THE INCORRECT SPEED AND FUEL AMOUNT. THE FAILURE HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR APPROXIMATELY ONE YEAR, BUT THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. HE FEELS THAT IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE HE DOES NOT KNOW HOW FAST HE IS DRIVING OR HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE VEHICLE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 70,000.

INITIALLY THE FUEL GAUGE BEGAN TO ACT INCORRECTLY. NOW NOT ONLY DOES THE FUEL GAUGE NOT WORK, BUT THE SPEEDOMETER DOES NOT WORK. *TR

A COMPLETE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE OCCURS PERIODICALLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING ON MY 2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM IN THE RECALL NOTICE ISSUED BY NHTSA 05V157000. I CONTACT GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEIR POSITION IS THE RECALL IS NOT SPECIFIC/COVERED BY MY VIN NUMBER. I SUGGEST ALL 2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS BE CONSIDERED FOR THIS RECALL AS THIS IS A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT BUICK RENDEZVOUS. ONE WAS A 2004 AND ONE WAS A 2003 RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE PUT THREE DIFFERENT TRANSMISSIONS IN THE 2003. I JUST, TODAY, TOOK MY 2004 RENDEZVOUS IN FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. I AM TIRED OF TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP. I LIVE 50 MILES FROM THE DEALERSHIP. I AM A FULL TIME EMPLOYEE AND I AM ALSO A FULL TIME STUDENT. I DO NOT HAVE ALL THIS TIME TO KEEP TAKING MY CAR BACK. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF THE BUICK INDUSTRY TO LOOK INTO THIS TO FIND OUT WHY THESE CARS HAVE SO MANY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. *TR
