Buick Rendezvous owners have reported 7 problems related to ignition switch (under the electrical system category). The most recently reported issues are listed below. Also please check out the statistics and reliability analysis of Buick Rendezvous based on all problems reported for the Rendezvous.
Multiple times the vehicle has stalled randomly while being driven. This has happened so many times I've lost count (at least 20). This happens at various speeds (from 0 mph to 70 mph). The entire electrical system shuts down when the vehicle stalls causing the steering and brakes to be less effective. This could easily result in an accident. The vehicle has been taken to 2 different Buick dealers for diagnostic and repair. The dealerships have not been able to fix the problem. The ignition switch and the ignition relay have both been replaced and all the electrical contacts have been cleaned and checked. These repairs have not fixed the vehicle. I've called Buick customer service and they refuse to do anything further without additional charge to the owner. The owner will not be making further repairs.

Pulling out of parking lot of a medical center off of rt. # 486 in lecanto, florida. . . Onto a side street. Car totally died. I could not move it. I could not steer. I could not start the car back up. I had to call for towing. Repair facility said it was the ignition switch. The same thing happened a few months earlier in lecanto, florida in a carwash. . . Could not move forward or backward. Called for a tow. The repair facility said it was a link assembly. I am very afraid this car will stop in the middle of a busy road and have a vehicle crash into the back of me. I can not find it on a recall list, but I see gm has recalled vehicles for faulty ignition switches which have caused fatalities. Ml.

The car would buck while I was on the road. During these times the wipers might come on and be intermittent. I took the cat in to a gm dealer. The problem was diagnosed as a faulty ignition switch, and so stated on my invoice. I called gm on this for a refund and was told that there were not enough complaints on this model. Its interesting that the 2003 Saturn, which was a recall, had the same ignition switch.

2003 Buick Rendezvous stalling intermittently and fails to start since may 2005. Once car's engine stops and I remove the key, I am unable to re-start car. I have brought the car in twice for problem. Each time it has been mis-diagnosed and I am charged for un-necessary service. Lou sobh has suggested that it was a bad cell in the battery and transmission and brakes needed serious attention - I requested the emergncey items to be fixed the replacement of the battery and transmission and paid $537; however, the car was still stalling. I returned the car to lou sobh, then I was told I now require a new fuel pump all for $900. A recall is posted for the 2004 Buick rendevous. I beleive this also pertains to my car model and the recall must be expanded to include the 2003 Buick with the same problem.
While driving transmission jerked and won't shift properly from second to third gear. Dealer replaced the transmission. Also, in the last past five months, the liftgate hinges/tie rod, and ignition switch had been replaced. Gears and tires were replaced, but problem still exists.
