INSTRUMENT LIGHTS ON RADIO, HEAT/AIR CONTROLS, STEERING WHEEL RADIO/CRUISE CONTROL CONTROLS STARTED BURNING OUT ONE BY ONE. THINKING THAT IT WOULD BE A SIMPLE, CHEAP FIX, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. AT THAT TIME, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER JUST FIX THE BURNED OUT BULBS, BUT HAD TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL MODULE JUST TO FIX THE LIGHT. WHAT WAS ONCE A $10-$20 FIX HAS NOW BECOME A $150-$200 FIX PER MODULE. ONE MODULE CAN CONTAIN ONE OR TWO LIGHT BULBS, SO IF YOU HAVE 6 OR 8 BURNED OUT BULBS, IT CAN COST YOU UP TO $1600 TO FIX! SECONDLY, AROUND SEPTEMBER 2010, THE RPM GAUGE PEGGED OUT AND THEN DROPPED TO THE SIX O'CLOCK POSITION. EVER SINCE THEN, SOMETIMES IT WORKS ERRATICALLY AND SOMETIMES NOT AT ALL. THEN, ABOUT JANUARY 2011, MY FUEL GAUGE STARTED DOING THE SAME THING. WHEN MY TANK WAS FULL, IT WOULD READ EMPTY OR HALF FULL. AFTER RE-STARTING MY CAR, IT WOULD GO BACK TO NORMAL, ONLY TO ACT FUNNY THE NEXT TIME I STARTED THE CAR. I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON OTHER GM CARS THAT USED THE SAME DEFECTIVE STEPPER MOTORS THAT ARE INSTALLED IN THE 2002-2005 BUICK LESABRES, BUT FOR SOME REASON, THE LESABRES WERE NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL WHERE GM WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPLACEMENT COST ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. THIS ISN'T RIGHT! WITH FAULTY INSTRUMENT PANELS, IT ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE! AND IF YOU WANT TO GET IT REPLACED,IT WILL COST YOU AROUND $800-900!!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEAD AND HEAD GASKETS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AS A RESULT OF WATER LEAKING INTO THE ENGINE. THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE OIL SENDING UNIT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING OIL ONTO THE ENGINE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 109,071.

MY 2006 BUICK RAINIER HAS A GAS GAUGE THAT DOES NOT REGISTER ANY FUEL IN THE TANK. WHEN THE PROBLEM BEGAN THE GAUGE WOULD GO UP TO THE WHATEVER LEVEL OF FUEL WAS IN THE TANK BUT NOW IT REGISTERS EMPTY ALL THE TIME. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO REPAIR SHOP AND FOUND OUT THIS IS A PERVASIVE GENERAL MOTORS PROBLEM WITH THESE TYPES OF VEHICLES. THE REPAIR IS GOING TO COST BETWEEN $300.00 AND $400.00 TO REPAIR. *TR
