I purchased a used 2003 Buick rendevous several years ago for my daughter. Since the purchase, she has had issues with traction warning light coming on, accompanied by a loud grinding noise, difficulty with braking and steering, especially when applying the brakes. She has had the car repaired several times, each time the issue reoccurs. On 9/28 she was in an accident, she could not get the car to brake effectively, hitting car in front of her. The traction light had recently come on again, and the grinding noise resurfaced.

This is the third time that this very scary and life threatening event has occurred. The first time this occurred in 2009 in minnesota. I parked in a parking lot. The key was stuck in the ignition. This was replaced at a Buick dealership in rochester, mn viking Buick. The second time, in July 2013 on a major highway in chicago going at approximately 10 mph going in slow moving traffic. The same event occurred for the third time on July 19 ,2014. The car stopped running while driving in 2013 and 2014. The engine turned off. The steering wheel did not move. I attempted to restart the car several times. The key did not move nor could it be retrieved. The battery light then turned on. After several minutes, I was able to restart the car by turning the ignition key. I was not aware that there were recalls on Buick Rendezvous 2004. I learned about these from listening to the news. I have called Buick in June 2014. I was told that based on my VIN, the car does not qualify for a recall and they refused to help me with evaluating the car. I have told them that the ignition system has been replaced in 2009. Buick tells me that they do not see this on their system. I have the receipts, payments and information from the Buick dealership that completed this as well as from the towing company that towed the car there. This event occurred again on July 19, 2014 while I was in a shopping mall parking. An additional event that I noticed this third time was that I could not even get out of the car as it remained unlocked. I have reviewed on your website that there have been several recalls related to these events and others for which I have not been notified by gm or Buick. I have had the car go through diagnostics several times throughout the years, but what has happened is not identified at the check ups.

Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re 2005 Buick Rendezvous defects. The consumer stated a bolt in the steering broke. After she paid to have it fixed, a recall was issued six months later.

Harness in front too short causing problems with abs /traction system to not work correctly.

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.

When turning into my driveway the engine shuts off losing all steering. This has happened several times in the past (since 2009) usually when turning right from a stop sign or turning right into my driveway.

Engine completely dies making it impossible to steer. It willl turn on right away, go a few miles and then dies again. It has been serviced, the trottle has been clean, fuel filter replaced, spark plug wires and spark plugs have been replaced to no avail. We've even changed tramission fluid and filtered.

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.

I was traveling down the interstate doing the speed limit of 70mph. Out of nowhere, the car flashed "reduced engine power" light and would not accelerate. Then the "service engine soon" light came on and a red battery light also. The car lost all power and power steering. I had to force the car into the emergency lane on the interstate without wrecking. I turned the ignition off and let the car sit for a couple of minutes and it started back up. I made it about 10 miles down the road and it did it again. Car will not run more than 10-15 mins without shutting off. Will not drive this car!!! very dangerous for everybody!.

When first accelerating, the car stalled out and the battery died. After braking to shift back into park and restarting, I was able to move again. Besides the acceleration issue, when driving and then braking when coming to a stop, it feels as if something is preventing the car from braking creating a grinding sensation. After the initial "grinding", awd is disabled along with the anti-lock braking system. This happens just about every time the Rendezvous is driven.

I own a 2006 Buick Rendezvous SUV. This SUV has 59,000 miles. In November a sensor light came on that states "reduce engine speed" while driving and you lose all power. This includes steering, brakes, speed and the engine stalls. However the radio stays on. I was traveling on a hwy with a speed limit of 45 mph. I lose control of steering, brakes and speed control. The SUV stalled and I had to change three lanes to get out of traffic. I was concerned about getting hit or hitting another car. This has happened frequently. Two separate mechanics had recommend replacing the throttle body but one said there was no guarantee this would solve my problem. We replaced this part in December at a cost of $400 and now I still lose power and am afraid of being hit or causing an accident. As this week this problem has occurred every day I drove it. Buick insists there are no recalls regarding this issue for my 2006 however there is a bulletin for GMC but different models/years. This is dangerous and I am afraid to drive this vehicle. I cannot sell or trade this in with this type of defect. I feel gm should fix this dangerous defect. Please investigate.

Tl-the contact owns a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that while driving 8 mph, the steering wheel became difficult to turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and the diagnosed failure fuel tank intake valve. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 110,000. Lb.

The Buick was my previous vehicle and it would just stall while I was driving. It only happened a few times, but was almost the result of an accident two times. I did have it looked at and the dealership tested it several times, but never found a cause. I don't know if you need to know this information, but I thought I would share in light what has been going on and I was surprised the Rendezvous wasn't listed as one of the vehicles with a problem. I know the dealership information, but I'm not sure how long they keep their records. The date I entered above is inaccurate. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. The power steering constantly made a clicking sound whenever the steering wheel was turned. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who repaired the vehicle for $400 approximately eight months ago. The failure recurred and the vehicle was return to the mechanic who told her that they could grease the parts again but it would not last much longer. She would have to replace the parts again. The dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.

Complete and total loss of steering while driving down highway. Fortunate that there was no oncoming traffic, loss of control, or damage.

Buick 2005 Rendezvous constant loud whining or moaning noise when you turn the wheel regardless of speed. It is embarrassing. No one can figure it out. It has been ongoing for over a year now.

I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I took it into the dealer the other day to have the front wheel bearing replace (paid for by gm) and in the process, the mechanic found another serious problem. I had been hearing a banging noise coming from the rear end for a few months now. I jacked the rear end of the car up and couldn't find the source of the noise. I was told by the mechanic that it is the right rear knuckle that was making the noise. When they got it on the rack, they found that the tire is moving front to back about 2 inches. I was told that this is a serious safety issue and that I will need to get it fixed ASAP at a cost of about $750. I took my vehicle to another mechanic to get a second opinion. I got the same diagnosis from the second mechanic with the addition of "we've never seen one of these go bad. You should never have to replace this part" they went on to say that they didn't want to do this work because it is extremely labor intensive and not their specialty. I am going to take it to a frame specialist and have the work done there. Did I mention that I had to replace the body control module two weeks ago?.

2004 Buick Rendezvous tilt steering became semi locked.

I took my car to the dealer complaining of a rubbing/clunking noise while driving. The diagnosis was the exhaust was bent and was rubbing on the driveshaft. Dealer replaced complete exhaust system and driveshaft. I was told this could only have happened due to rear end impact. No impact occurred that I am aware of and no visible damage to vehicle. I contacted my insurance company and they inspected the vehicle and did not find any evidence of rear end damage. They suspect design/safety defect and asked the dealer to provide them with the drive shaft. Dealer said they have seen this happen one other time. I am concerned about the safety of this vehicle.

: the contact stated that the vehicle rolled over while attempting to merge onto the highway. This occurred after depressing the brake. The vehicle began to shimmy because of loss of steering and it veered to the right and turned over. The dealership has been contacted and was unable to determine why the failure occurred. The vehicle was deemed totaled by the insurance agency. The police were not alerted. There is a NHTSA recall, # 03v052000 regarding the steering. The vehicle has the same problems as indicated in the recall; however the recall letter was not received until after the incident updated 2/27/2006 -.
