general problems of the 2002 Buick Rendezvous

My vehicle did not have heat. I was not able to determine if it was blowing cold air or not blowing at all. Before I had a chance to address the heating issue, the vehicle ran hot and continued to run hot until a mechanic replaced the thermostat and the coolant and cu at 2/3 slit in the rubber under the hood. It came to my attention that the vehicle had overheating problems before it was sold to me. I have since tried to sell it and found th st it was not accepted by two car buying/selling websites due to previous salvage. I purchased from a buy-here pay- here. It still has over heating issues and it still has not heat blowing inside. I want to know if repairs will help since it's regarded as a salvage. Is it lawful to sell a salvaged vehicle knowing the purchaser was putting the car on the road? I bought the car in ohio and I live in new york.

Fuel tank is defective, with the car in motion and stationary, when I put more than a half tank, gasoline will find a way out the tank, I already replaced the fuel tank for another original one and it was good for only 3 months. The traction system when the car is in motion and stationary is always giving an error on the computer and making funny noises and sometimes brakes make a noise like ta ta ta because of the traction system. Battery system is a joke I had to replace and put the battery terminals on the top because cables get disconnected from the original way. I would like to see more recalls on this car, so many problems and my car have a little over 80,000 miles.

Driving down the road over heat light comes on tried everything took to service and head caskets need replaced! 28 days after purchasing a used as is vehicle!everything I had to purchase a junk. Looks good on the outside and run good for first few weeks even took to midas before purchasing all the fixes all very well hidden.

It started overheating , a very reputable mechanic checked it , said it was possible radiator , then said said may be gaskets . I saw where others had overheating problems on the internet . Will the company pay for this to be fixed and are their other safety issues with this car I have a disabled son and do not want to be out in it and have it catch fire or worse . A older lady owned it and her sister sold it to us when she had to go into the nursing home its been well taken of its a four door.

We bought the car from a used dealership in oct. 2013. Just over a month later we are having problems with the vehicle. The light came on, on the dash saying abs disabled. As this comes if you are slowing down you literally have to pump the break to stop. This is scary especially when you are trying to come to a stop behind someone and you are not sure if you are going to have enough distance to come to a complete stop before hitting the car in front of you. This light likes to come on while we are driving roughly 65 on the interstate as well, not really effecting driving just stopping. We have already paid to have it fixed in December of 2013 was told it was a bad abs sensor on the front wheel. Well here we are only a few month later and its happening all over again. We figured we would look into recalls before we go and pay to have it fixed again because it's looking like it's going to be a reoccurring problem.

I am a 70 year old woman. This is the last car my husband purchased before he lost his battle with cancer in 2009. He is a retiree from gm. He left me what I thought was a good car.

Had battery replaced during routine maintenance. After two days the car would not start battery was dead. After the 3rd battery we took the cat to the dealer. Thet checked everything said it was the battery again!!! so we had it replaced at that time. We also had them fix the abs for the 3rd time in 5 years. The car was at home two days later would not start! had it checked this time it was a module and then the dash cluster wnet out while they were fixing the car. Still same problems took the car out again this time after gm called us. They kept the car for three weeks, said it was a short in the stereo. Now 1 week later car is dead again!!!!!.

Over heating for no reason. Sometimes the fuel line seems clogged or full but will act as if it out of gas. Have changed the alternator and distributor and the problem is still occuring. Was told that it was a radiator but there seems to be a defect with the fuel system. Some days it will start to run hot and if you keep yoyr foot on the gas the hot temp will go down. Leaking out gas from left side as well as blowing out white smoke as if the engine is blown but I know its a good engine. Some days the car will run fine but it seems to. Me like the cold weather causes matbe sensor issues with the fuel system. Also the gas light will come on spiratically like when you hit a pot hole like there is an short.

The contact owns a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that he had three flat tires on his vehicle. The dealer stated that the valve stems caused the tires to deflate. The dealer had to replace the valve stems. The valve stem manufacterer is dill and the part number is act# 444tr4t3. The VIN was not available. The manufacturer has not been notified.

2002 Buick Rendezvous started making noise. When turning on ventilation control to 60 degrees to get a/c to turn on due to it being our first hot day of the season, noticed compressor was not kicking in nor was the vehicle cooling off. Dealer states condenser has failed at 40,000 miles and requires replacing. Cost at dealership $925. Seems to be a pattern of the number of complaints related to condenser.

Consumer stated motor heater will not blow out hot air. Manufacturer was contacted and stated that was the way the vehicle was designed.
