2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Complaints

THE RENDEVOUS WAS TRAVELING 18 MPH AND STRUCK BY A PACIFICA GOING 20-30 MPH THAT RAN A STOP SIGN. THE RENDEVOUS WAS STRUCK BETWEEN THE DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR AND THE DRIVER REAR WHEEL WELL CAUSING THE RENDEVOUS TO FALL OVER ON ITS PASSENGER SIDE, SLIDE 15-30 FEET, HIT AN EMBANKMENT AND ENDED UP ON ITS 4 WHEELS AGAIN. *JB

I TRAVEL FROM MICHIGAN TO FLORIDA EVERY YEAR AND IN JUNE 2004 BOUGHT A BUICK RENDEZVOUS. IT INTERMITTENTLY DOES NOT WANT TO START. NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IS THERE A RECALL OR PROBLEM WITH THIS? MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT AND THEY SHUTTLED HIM HOME. INSIDE THE SHUTTLE WAS ANOTHER MAN WITH THE SAME PROBLEM WITH HIS RENDEZVOUS. SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING WE SHOULD WORRY ABOUT...

2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS HAS HAD ENGINE FAILURE 3 - 5 TIMES. AT LOW SPEEDS 0-15 MPH, CAR WILL WILL CUT OFF. THE CAR RESTARTS IMMEDIATELY ONCE YOU PUT IT BACK TO PARK OR NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON ONE OCCASION BUT THEY WRE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. I WILL TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AGAIN AND PROVIDE THE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS BY OTHER CONSUMERS. *AK

THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER KEEPS FREEZING UP DUE TO POOR DESIGN. THIS MAKES THE REMOVAL OF DEBRIS FROM WINDSHIELD IMPOSSIBLE. WHICH REDUCES THE DRIVER'S VISIBILITY THAT COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED SEVERAL TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE, IN WHICH ALCOHOL HAS BEEN ADDED TO THE WINDSHIELD WASHER FLUID TO THAW THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WASHER. THIS IS ONLY A TEMPORARILY FIX. *JB *TT

THE CONSUMER STATED HIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM IS THAT VEHICLE SIMPLY STOPPED RUNNING FOR NO REASON. *BF *SC *JB

VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY AT LOW SPEED OF 0-15 MPH, OCCASIONALLY VEHICLE WOULD RESTART. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER ON ONE OCCASION, AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. CONSUMER WAS MAKING ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER.*AK THE DEALER HAS INSTALLED A DATA RECORDER WHICH HAS RECORDED ONE FAILURE. THE CONSUMER IS WAITING FOR ANOTHER FAILURE BEFORE TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. *NM

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 7/15/04, 3 DAYS LATER UPON STARTUP THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. DEALER REPLACED A BODY CONTROL MODULE AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. IN OCTOBER 04, THE ENGINE STALLED WHILE PULLING INTO A PARKING SPACE; AS THE ENGINE STALLED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. VEHICLE RESTARTED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED OFF. HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALER AND SEVERAL BODY CONTROL MODULES WERE REPLACED. DURING THIS TIME HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO NOT HOLDING PRESETS, ALSO UPON STARTUP THE RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY PICK A STATION THAT WAS NOT PRESET. I WILL HAVE TO RETURN TO THE DEALER IN THE NEAR FUTURE FOR A POSSIBLE PROBLEM WITH THE ANTI-THEFT; THE DASHBOARD LIGHT DOES NOT FLASH TO SHOW THAT IT IS ARMED, ALSO A RUBBING NOISE COMING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT AREA JUST AS THE VEHICLE STARTS TO MOVE EITHER FORWARD OR REARWARD. WORST AMERICAN CAR I HAVE EVER OWNED AND WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM CAR AGAIN.*AK

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTANTLY WHILE IN MOTION. COULD BE DANGEROUS ON BUSY ROAD. WAS CHECKED BY DEALER TWICE BUT NO CAUSE FOUND.*AK

VEHICLE STALLS INTERMITTANTLY WHILE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION,SO FAR, AT SLOW SPEEDS. VEHICLE COULD BE DANGEROUS IF STALLING PERSISTS ON BUSY ROADS. HAVE BEEN TO THE BUICK DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CANNOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE DESPITE THOROUGH TESTING. NO PARTS REPLACED.*AK

WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE STALLED. CONSUMER WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE, AND HAD VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, WHO DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THIS WAS A PROBLEM MANY TIMES AND NOT REPAIRED. *TC
