2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Complaints

HAVE HAD TO REPLACE HEAD CASKETS TWO TIMES SINCE I BOUGHT THIS NOW HAVING PROBLEMS WITH GAS SMELL WHEN I TURN ON HEATER WHATS NEXT ITS GOT ABOUT 51000 MILES ON IT

PCM HAS BEEN CAUSING PROBLEMS. I FIRST LOST MY SPEEDOMETER WITH NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. INTERMITTENT GAS GAGE PROBLEMS, AND NOW VEHICLE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC HAS RULED OUT PLUGS AND WIRES, COILS, IGNITION CONTROL AND MORE. NOW, I MUST GO TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT. THIS RECALL IS LISTED ON 2004

REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AT 30K MI. COOLING SYSTEM FAILED AT 110 K MI. CAR IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL HOSE HAD DETACHED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER TWO HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 302,723.

THIS SUV WAS PURCHASED AT THE END OF AUGUST 2016 AND ONCE IN THE CAR AND DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD WE REALIZED THE VEHICLE POWER STEERING WAS HARD TO TURN AND THE BRAKES WERE GOING ALL THE WAY DOWN. WE ALSO HAD A CAR ACCIDENT, BECAUSE IT WAS VERY HARD TO TURN AND ONCE IN THE PARKING SPACE THE BRAKES WENT COMPLETELY OUT AND WHEN TRYING TO STOP THE SUV WOULD NOT STOP AND WE HIT A PARKED CAR WITH THE LADY IN THE CAR ON 9/11/2016. WENT ON LINE AND NOTICED RECALLS FOR POWER STEERING AND CLOTH SEATS ON SOME MODELS FOR AIR BAGS. SPOKE WITH GMC AND INFORMED POWER STEERING RECALL AND WOULD LIKE SUV CHECKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK TO TAKE VEHICLE TO GMC. WHEN WE GOT THERE THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT REQUEST WE TRY TO PURCHASE A NEW CAR INSTEAD OF GETTING THE VEHICLE FIXED. THE NEXT DAY WE WERE NOTIFIED THE TRUCK WAS NOT WORTH REPAIRING THE DAMAGES WERE OVER 1,000 FOR POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. THIS CAR WAS SOLD WITH ALL THESE PROBLEMS AND I FEEL SINCE THERE WAS PREVIOUS DEFECTS WITH THIS VEHICLE WE SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION OR A NEW VEHICLE.

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. MOSTLY IS READS 120 MPH WHEN I AM SETTING STILL. BECAUSE IT FLUCTUATES FROM MOVING OR NOT MOVING. BUT NEVER CORRECTLY. I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO RELYING SOLELY ON A GPS SPEEDOMETER.

VEHICLE OVERHEATED TO THE MAXIMUM, THEN IT STALLED. I WAITED A BIT AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE TEMP. RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE HOME AT 35 MI PER HR. IT STALLED AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, AND MAKE IT HOME. I PHONED MY MECHANIC, AND HAD IT TOWED THERE. HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS WATER IN THE EXHAUST WHICH INDICATED EXPENSIVE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. HE SUGGESTED I SELL THIS VEHICLE ASAP. I HAD ONLY OWNED IT 2 MONTHS! WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS IN MOTION AT 35 MI PER HR. ON A CITY STREET. VERY DANGEROUS!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE OIL PAN OF THE VEHICLE LEAKED OIL ONTO THE FLOOR OF THE GARAGE. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING.

ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO DROP OF THE KIDS AT DAYCARE WHEN THE CARE SUDDENLY TURNS OFF, I WAS GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH;I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED , I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY I WAITED FOR A WHILE THEN MAYBE 15 MIN LATER IT TURNS BACK ON.I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR STARTED SMELLING, LIKE GAS, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC,SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT WENT DOWN HILL IT STARTED TO HEAT UP ON ME, WASTED MORE GAS, WOULD TURN OFF ON ME A LOT AND AIR/HEAT STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT STARTED TO SLIP, THINKING THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND BOY WAS I WRONG. IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME, THE SMELL WAS GETTING WORSE, I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC. HE TOLD ME THAT THE HEAD GASKET NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, I DIDN'T HAVE MORE MONEY. HE DID'T LET ME DRIVE HOME, HE WAS VERY WORRIED BECAUSE THE SMELL OF GAS WAS SO BAD, HE SAID THAT I SHOULD RISK MY KIDS AND MYSELF, THE CARE CAN CATCH ON FIRE. HE HAD THE TRUCK TOWED TO MY HOUSE DIDN'T CHARGE ME FOR IT AND I HAVEN'T MOVED IT SINCE THEN..IVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY IN THAT TRUCK, I KEPT UP WITH THE MAINTENANCE LIKE CLOCK WORK. I WAS JUST LUCKY THAT WE NEVER CRASHED WE GOT CLOSE AND WE DIDN'T BLOW UP. I DON'T KNOW WEATHER I SHOULD TAKE IT IN TO A GM DEALER TO HAVE THEM EVALUATE THE TRUCK TO SEE IF IT IS PART OF THE RECALL.
