BUICK Complaints

REAR SLIDING DOORS WILL NOT REMAIN CLOSED, THEN OPEN WHILE DRIVING AND CONTINUE TO ALARM WHEN CLOSED. I'VE TAKEN IT IN FOR REPAIRS THREE TIMES ON BOTH DOORS, YET, NOW THAT MY WARRANTY IS NO LONGER IN EFFECT, I MUST PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR AN ISSUE THAT IS AN OBVIOUS SAFETY ISSUE GM IS IGNORING. MY GRANDSON'S CAR SEAT SITS BY THOSE DOORS, THANK GOD HASN'T FALLEN OUT!!! I'VE GOOGLED AND HAVE SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS IGNORED. WHY IS IT SOMEBODY HAS TO DIE BEFORE THIS PROBLEM IS ADDRESSED?! THERE ARE SEVERAL INCIDENT DATES!!! *KB

2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER WORKED CONSISTENTLY AFTER 2007 ON SOME OCCASION WE MAY GET SOMETHING IN BETWEEN BUT MOSTLY JUST FULL OR EMPTY. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE SINCE PURCHASE OF CAR, HEAD GASKET REPLACED TWICE. AS OF YET OUR GAS GAUGE ISSUE HAS YET TO BE RESOLVED AS THE AUTO MECHANICS TEND TO JUST THROW PARTS AT IT UNTIL WE NO LONGER HAVE MONEY TO SPEND. IN DOING RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE AND DO HAVE THE FEINT SMELL OF GAS AS NOTED IN A SAFETY RECALL THAT OUR CAR IS NOT A PART OF BUT MEETS THE MODEL YEAR. *KB
