This vehicle is a joke. I've had the ball joints worked on, gear shift (suddenly wouldn't change gears anymore), the transmission pump needs replacing, and when I drive, specifically if I turn or have to go over a speed hump, or over a small dip, there's a loud pop and lots of creaking even though the tire rod, ball joints and wheel bearings were replaced. After they were replaced, everything was quiet. About a year later, I'm hearing noises again. I've just grown accustomed to the fact that my car is loud. I know not to buy another Buick.
I have a 2006 Buick Rendezvous that I guess pressure builds up in power steering pump and somehow blows powersteering fluid all over belts, alternator and engine and compartment under hood this makes belts squeal and some come all out from under hood. This has happened to me twice since I bought the Buick in late November 2009. I have read that other people on car forum said that they are also having same problems with there Rendezvous. I have the 3. 5 engine in mine and wanted to complain and see if any other complaints have been recalled on this. I see that pontiac has problems with the power steering pump also and they have had a recall on them recently. So just wanted to pass on the information and problems that I am having I don't know what to do with this problem. I have to keep adding the fluid because it keeps blowing it all over my motor and compartment area. I hope that this does not cause my vehicle to have an accident or catch fire.
