On may 27, 2005 my husband purchased a 2005 Buick Rendezvous cx plus. 3 times since the purchase the vehicle has stalled during our rush hour trip to work, 06/16, 06/20 & 06/27. Each time the vehicle was slowing down, once when entering a highway (route I-95 in PA) and twice when coming to a stop light on NJ route 130. I was with him each time it occurred. Fortunately, the vehicle restarted. My husband has taken the vehicle to the dealer, explaining the exact circumstances before the failure. Because the dealer could not duplicate the problem, nothing was done. This seem to be the same problem encountered by the 2004 Rendezvous for which gm issued a recall (#05v157000). The resolution was to replace the ignition relay. There is also a njtsa action number pe04075 that describes this problem for the 2004 Rendezvous.

The problem was ignition continued to crank even after letting go of key. This problem was looked at by mechanic, and he found no reason.

Dealer told owner there were no problems. There was a recall on the initial relay, and this was repaired. Yesterday the ignition was continuing to crank. This problem just happened every day, but not every time while driving. . The vehicle was regularly serviced.

2004 Buick Rendezvous has stalled twice while driving. (car is 10 months old) 1st incidence occured while turning into a parking space at a busy mall parking lot. Car did start right back up. Called local dealership to bring in. They said there was a bullentin regarding this issue and replaced the fuse box. The 2nd incidence after the fuse box was replaced happended 5/27/05. My husband was driving the vehicle and it stalled while he was driving in a parking lot. Car did start up again. Called dealership and brought car in. They can not locate the problem. I asked what happens if this happens again and they advised to just keep bringing it in after it happens to examine car. Please note this is my 3rd Rendezvous and my first Rendezvous (2001) this exact same thing happened except I was on the turnpike driving 55 mph when it stalled and didn't start right back up and had to be towed. (state troopers were involved with this incidence) the dealership could not locate the problem. Needless to say since I was a gm employee they did a collateral trade since I refused to drive the vehicle due to the safety issue.
