Bought my Rendezvous a few months ago and have had problems. My side air bags deployed with the previous owner for unknown reasons causing him injury to his ribs. They were never replaced by manufacturer. When I first got my car I filled up the tank. Bad idea! I came out the next morning and smelled a strong odor of gas and was missing a quarter tank. My boyfriend looked underneath and said it was leaking between the fill tube and the actual tank. My mechanic said there is no way to patch this and the only way to fix it would be to replace the whole thing. Approximately costing $1000. He also said changes are this will be reoccurring because it's a common problem with this make/model. So now I only put a half tank in my gas tank but I've noticed a smell of gas inside and outside of the vehicle. When I first bought my car the next day my car wouldn't start. I had a dead battery. My interior lights never turned off. Again, to repair this electrical problem would have been expensive. I ended up taking the sensor out, so now I have no inside lights at all.

I shut my driver side door and the drivers side air bag in the drivers seat deployed. I am a ase master tech with 8 years experience at a gm dealer. I don't believe this should of happened. My wife and 2 kids were in the car at the time of deployment. Thankfully there were no injuries. Im very worried about having the system repaired because im afraid there will be another false deployment. Im worried we wont be so lucky next time and if will be a frontal deployment into our faces.
