2002 Buick Rendezvous otherwise known as the money pit. Seems that as usual our latest expense (101,000) is not covered under the recalls, due to the manufacturing date of the vehicle. Smelled gas for a week, then noticed gas gauge fluctuating, never showing empty even though trip odometer showed it had almost an empty tank. Mechanic stated crack in the fuel tank, but car was manufactured before the recall date, so Buick did not cover the cost of repairs. Have recently also experienced loss of all power to cigarette lighters, drivers side window fell down and entire regulator unit was replaced. Back hatch handle fell off, again. Rearview mirror also fell off. Ac fan will no longer blow at highest setting. These are all minor compared to the faulty abs sensor, loss of traction control, ac condenser, tie rods, 2 replaced batteries, front wheel bearings, rotors. And those repairs are just from the last 3 years. . . .

I have owned my 2002 Buick Rendezvous for less than 2 yrs and I have had to replace 2 wheel bearings and now I have blown a head gasket. Less than a month ago I had to replace the alternator and battery. The driver side window fell in less than a yr ago and I have electrical problems with it constantly. Including the alarm and security going off for no reason at all.

I had the car 2 weeks & the window regulator/motor in my drivers window stopped working. But was told it was not covered. I only had about 49,000 miles on it. At 75,000 my fuel gauge went out, that was replaced, but was told that my gas tank had been leaking. Which explains the gas smell when I filled my tank up. I thought it was just where some might have gotten on the outside. Then I read there is a recall, however, Buick told me that they were not going to replace mine. A new one is 1,800. I can't afford that. At 80,000 1 of my back wheel hubs & assembly went out & I needed a new universal belt, so both were replaced. 85,000 the second wheel hub & assembly went out. That too replaced. At 101,000 my transmission started slipping a little. Had it flushed & filter changed, helped for about a day, then started again. Awd light started coming on & going off, coming on & going off. Blew 2 fuses in my car, nothing would work. At 101,000 car went from a normal temp. (just got off work, had not even drove 2 miles) to hot, pulled over, OH guess what thermostat stopped working, it was leaking coolant, cracked a header. That too replaced. Check engine light came on around 108,000, now what, O2 censor, fuel pump, intake manifold, and catylic converter. All replaced too. When I start my car, sometimes it won't start. So I have to pop the hood & move wires around and play with the battery post to get it to start. I thought it was the battery but its not, because I have replaced that too. When your driving down the road at about 60, and turn the wheel either right or left, the steering wheel will shake, & you can feel something that feels like a rattle under your feet. I want to get rid of it so bad, but I have finally got it down to where hopefully I can trade it in, because the extra money I was planning on using to pay it off, has had to go into it to fix it.

I own a 2002 Buick Rendezvous. This vehicle has been nothing but trouble for me since the get go (2004). I have numerous amount of problems that are going on with my vehicle as other owners. All of these problems started at or around 70000 miles. The exterior lights and interior lights go off with out warning and for no reason for sometimes up to a minute (and this has happened at nightime) "major saftey issue" no one can tell us why the vehicle does this. The noise that comes from the front of the vehicle when driven at 45 mph or more is outragious. . . It makes an awful humming sound so loud that the radio can't be heard. The vehicle also will not start at times as well. . . For no particular reason at all. . . Nothing can be found wrong with it all!!! it will stall or will not start at all after several starts and turn offs. It has also done this on inclines or after filling at the gas station once as well. If you go back and try to start the vehicle in about a half hour it will start. . . I figured this out after calling a tow truck several times. . . And by the time they got to me. . They tried to start the vehicle and it started. The vehicle burns a qurt of oil every 3000 miles or so. Now my brakes are to the floor which I have recently had it to the shop again and the mechanic has told me that my brakes are fine that I need my abs pump (master cylinder) replaced it is leaking 800. 00 +++ just for the part alone hmmmmm??? just another issue reported like all the above from other Buick Rendezvous 2002 owners. Oh and also my driver side window regulator has broke and that will be costing me 450. 00. Passenger side door does not shut correctly now at all the hinges are messed up on these models. The door gets stuck all the time. All of these problems are problems that other Buick Rendezvous owners of the 2002 models are having and something needs to be done about it ASAP.

While backing our of my driveway the vehicle started vibrating due to engine ignition malfunction but did not stall. At the same time dashboard light went on indicating that engine needed an oil change though the oil was just changed 2 days prior to the incident. Shut the engine off and restarted and engine operated normally except the dashboard light again indicated need for an oil change. Brought the vehicle back to the dealer for repair. After discussion with service representative it was decided to install ignition relay part for the second time. A scan system test regulator test was done with no problem found. Will continue to run vehicle and hope problem corrected.
