2006 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Complaints

FUEL LINES IN ENGINE ARE RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THIS OCCURRED AROUND ENGINE AND LEAK COULD HAVE STARTED A FIRE IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BECAUSE OF THE HOT PIPES ETC. THIS LEAK WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS BECAUSE OF LOCATION

I'VE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SPENT OVER $4000 IN REPAIRS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST DECELERATE AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 15MPH. I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND THEN 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN HAD IT REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER THAT NEEDED REPLACED. AND NOW I'M HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS FLASHING BUT THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AND TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO EVEN GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING/FUSE ISSUE AND THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON 3 CYLINDERS AND LITERALLY 2 DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY MECHANIC EVEN TOLD ME I SHOULD JUST GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS MAJOR WIRING ISSUES. IT ONLY HAS 130,000 MILES.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN DECEMBER 2014, THE VERY FIRST NIGHT DRIVING IT HOME, THE ENGINE WOULD NIT START. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE DEALER, TOOK THE CAR BACK AND WATCHED AS THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC. NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH IT. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND IT SEEMS TO BE A NORMAL ISSUE WITH THE MAKE AND MODEL. THEN I NOTICED THE FAULTY GAS GUAGE, READING LOW FUEL THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN I HAVE GAS. AGAIN, CONTACTED THE DEALER, TOOK IT BACK AND YET AGAIN, DIAGNOSTIC RAN WITH CLEAR READINGS. I LOOKED UP THAYLT ISSUE AND OF COURSE, COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WERE COMMON. FINALLY, ON APRIL 9TH I WAS ON MY WAY HOME AND WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS A FRONT IMPACT ACCIDENT WHICH TOTALED THE VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE WINDSHIELD WAS COMPLETELY SHATTERED, GLASS FLEW EVERYWHERE. AFTER THE FRONT IMPACT, THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER THEN LANDED ON ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. HOW IS IT SAFE TO HAVE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT SERIOUS ISSUES AND NOTHING BE DONE ABOUT IT BY THE MANUFACTURES! I ALMOST LOST MY LIFE DUE TO THE AIRBAGS FAILING WHICH IS A, YET AGAIN, A COMMON COMPLAINT!

MY WIFE WAS TRAVELING SOUTH ON A 2 LANE ROADWAY,HEARD A LOUD BANG, LOST CONTROL OF STEERING AND CROSSED THE CENTERLINE , THEN SWERVED BACK ACROSS ROAD TO HER SIDE AND STRUCK A GUARDRAIL. LATER WE FOUND THAT THE RIGHT REAR BALL JOINT BROKE OFF CAUSING THE WHEEL TO COLLAPSE AND WHEN THE CAR SKIDDED OUT OF CONTROL THE LEFT REAR TIRE BLEW OFF THE RIM. THIS CAR HAD REGULAR MAINT. AND SERVICE. IF SHE WOULD'VE HIT SOMEONE HEAD ON AND CAUSED A FATALITY NO ONE WOULD KNOW THE REAL CAUSE AND EVERYONE WOULD ASSUME SHE GOT DISTRACTED AND CAUSED THE ACCIDENT WHICH MAKES ME WONDER HOW MANY TIMES THIS OCCURRED AND NOBODY IS THE WISER. THE NTSB NEEDS TO MAKE BUICK ISSUE A SAFETY RECALL NOW! *TR

10/2012 - (APROX 115,000 MILES ON VEHICLE) VEHICLE WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO A CITY STREET WHEN WITHOUT NOTICE THE RIGHT REAR BALL JOINT BROKE OFF AND FORCED ME TO THE SIDE OF THE STREET. LUCKILY THERE WERE NO CARS DIRECTLY BEHIND ME. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND REPAIRED. THE LEFT BALL JOINT WAS DEEMED GOOD AT THAT TIME. ONCE IN REPAIR, FRONT TIE RODS WHERE ALSO REPLACED IN PREVENTION OF ANY FAILURE BECAUSE OF THERE POOR CONDITION. 2/2015 - (135,000 MILES ON VEHICLE) DRIVING VEHICLE DOWN MAJOR HIGHWAY AT 65 MPH THE LEFT REAR BALL JOINT BROKE WITHOUT NOTICE CAUSING ME TO SLIDE OUT OF CONTROL AND CRASH INTO A DITCH. ONLY BECAUSE THERE WAS NOT HEAVY TRAFFIC AND THE BLESSINGS OF THE LOCATION AND SNOW, DID I NOT SUFFER INJURIES TO MYSELF OR VEHICLE. 100 FT IN ANY OTHER DIRECTION WOULD OF RESULTED IN A DIFFERENT ENDING. THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN SERVICED WITH TIRE REPLACEMENT AND ALIGNMENT WITHOUT ANY INDICATION OF BALL JOINT DISTRESS. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS VEHICLE AND FEAR ANY OTHER MAJOR FAULT IN THE VEHICLE PARTS/DESIGN THAT MIGHT OCCUR WITHOUT NOTIFICATION. *TR UPDATED 3/31/16 *JS
