2004 Buick rendevous 64k miles - complete ato transmission failure - including transfer assembly. Occured 40mph with no previous signs or symptoms - almost caused rear end collision. Lost all gears, 1,2 and reverse - only 3rd barely operable. 5 miles from dealer - had to be towed. Superior Buick (kansas city) pulled pan - said lot of ground up metal. Initial cost $5k! investigating other cases - finding gm knows of this problem - in some cases dealers buying back '02 rdv's. Finding this exact same occurance with other owners is not just a random - but many failures. Just 30 days ago also had to replace entire ac condenser unit $1,500 - now finding this too is a gm defect with lot of other rdv oweners. Will try to pursue vehicle back by from gm - seeing a lot of 'lemon' cases out there.
