5 minutes after being on the highway at 70 miles per hour the vehicle started dropping speed and message center started showing low battery, lights problem, service engine soon, brake fluid low, windshield wiper fluid low, low tire pressure, security service. Also, when I come to a stop the engine shuts off by itself as a low power, few minutes later, starts back up and can keep driving but hitting the gas pedal and releasing it after a few seconds at a time to recharge the battery so it would not shut off again. Also, after this happened the emergency lights began to come on and off by themselves. Took to a mechanic to have it serviced they said to replace the battery and alternator and if problems continued the starter. Few months later after replacing these parts, it started giving me problems with low fan as if the relays were bad but they are in good condition, low battery fuel and had to be changed again because the battery was not retaining charge. The vehicle still has all the messages in the message center, they never went away. Then within the last month I wanted to have the radio replaced, but I found out the speakers have power coming straight from the battery to the radio that causes it to overheat and makes static when the radio is on while driving. Also, the neutral safety switch for the ignition key got burned so now it is not working but still has allowed for the car to turn on and off and dry. A week ago, 04/28/14 the vehicle has been showing an error message in the message center, every light possible in the message center about the services that need to be done come on, which I assume now is the body control module that has gone bad. Most frequent message is security. Gas gage goes up and down and never gives an accurate reading of how much is in the vehicle.

Just purchased a 2002 Buick Rendezvous 4 months ago and have had nothing but issues with this car, it left me stranded and started up by a jump start. I got the battery, alternator, and starter checked all reported fine. Car ran fine for about 2 months then it did it again. The headlights will flicker at night sometimes at a rhythm. The interior lights decided when they will and will not work. Mainly the seat heater buttons. Replaced battery yesterday and while driving to richmond va all interior/exterior lights flashed on and off with the battery light showing in the dash. After a few minutes everything went back to normal. These cheaply made vehicles will cause a serious accident if not deaths if these companies don't stand behind what they put out to it's public. Considering that I owe 5000. 00 for it I will not put alot into it to keep it running. This company needs to fix their vehicles the way they were advertised.

: the consumer stated while driving 30 to 40 mph, the vehicle pulled to the left side with front end vibrations. The vehicle was taken to the dealership; the tie rod ends and both tires were replaced. After driving the vehicle, the same problems still continued. Starter stayes engaged until engine is turned off. Updated 02/26/06.
