I've had so many problems with this vehicle. Spent over $4000 in repairs in the last 6 months. The first problem I had was while driving on the highway the reduced engine power light and traction system light would come on and the vehicle would just decelerate and wouldn't go over 15mph. I had it repaired once and was told it was the wiring harness and then 2 months later the same thing happened again had it repaired and was told it was the wiring harness and computer that needed replaced. And now I'm having a similar issue but this time the service engine soon light is flashing but the car doesn't want to accelerate and takes several seconds to even get up to 35 mph. I had this repaired once and was told it was a wiring/fuse issue and that the car was only running on 3 cylinders and literally 2 days after the repair it started happening again. This is ridiculous. My mechanic even told me I should just get rid of the vehicle because it obviously has major wiring issues. It only has 130,000 miles.

The contact owns a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated while driving 55 mph, the vehicle stalled and failed to restart. The contact mentioned that the abs and the service traction system warning indicator illuminated. Also, the fuel gauge was giving inaccurate readings. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic. The technician stated that the electrical wiring under the seat had corroded due to the internal leakage of the ac unit. As a result, the carpet created mold due to the wetness and the floor board was corroded as well. The mechanic also discovered that the all wheel drive was disabled. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the problem. The approximate failure mileage was 115,000.

The contact owns a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. While driving approximately 10 mph, the contact noticed smoke from the driver's side front seat. Upon further inspection, she noticed flames coming from the vehicle. She took her vehicle to a dealer and they concluded that when she adjusted her seat, the track ran over a cord in the wiring harness that created a fire. The vehicle does not have optional heat/cooler integrated seats. The technician stated that the seat would have to be replaced and the wiring in the electrical system needed to be repaired. The contact is in the process of having the vehicle repaired. The failure and current mileages were 66,000.

Smoke began to billow into vehicle shortly after our babysitter pulled out from parking lot. She pulled off the road immediately and turned off the ignition. After vehicle was towed in for repair, it was determined that the insulation on the main wiring harness had worn through where the wires rubbed against the front passenger airbag. Deemed by mechanic to have been a design flaw that nearly resulted in a fire. I have the remains of the wiring harness available for your inspection if necessary.

The contact owns a 2006 Buick Rendezvous. The contact heard a grinding sound and the brakes became hard when the brake pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they replaced the front and rear brakes. Shortly afterward, the automatic transmission, wiring for the all-wheel drive, wiring for the speed sensors, and the rear tie rods were all replaced between 17,500 and 22,000 miles. The rear driver's side door also fell off the vehicle and was re-adjusted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer at least once a month for failed components. The failure mileage was 17,542 and current mileage was 23,126.

Rear wiper in 2002 Rendezvous turning on when the button was not depressed. Followed by, all lights flashing on and off while driving causing the vehicle to go into security/locked mode.

Car just shuts off will not start for 15 min. Then runs ruff after 30 min will start and run fine up to a week or a month no will not run at all. It is the wiring from bcm to fuel tank and now bcm is bad reading some foreign language also smell gas after fill up.

Service engine soon light came on and the service technician found the mass air flow sensor was not properly connected after the fuel system was serviced. The technician subsequently found the fuel tank harness was corroded and needed to be replaced. The service manager advised that this connector was exposed to the weather elements and if the connector failed the engine would shut off while driving. This is a serious safety hazard in my opinion. The connector was replaced at a cost of $199. 50.

I have a 2004 Buick Rendezvous. Bought in Dec 04. The first stall was summer of 05. Thank god each time it stalled, I was going 20 mph or less. I am truly concerned about the safety factor. We have taken it to the dealer each time - the did the recall on the ignition switch - stalls continue to happen. They are not able to recreate the problem. It will be going in to the dealer for the 3rd time very soon, as it stalled again over christmas. The starter has begun to sound funny - car holds crank too long, does not sound right.

The service engine soon light came on. My manual suggested this has to do with the emmissions system and my person that does my oil changes had told me that they should change the fuel filter and clean emissions system. I took and had the previously mentioned done. Light still on. I took the vehicle to dealer who said that the computer indicated a transmission solonoid but they would replace the transmission fluid and filter and hope that would unstick solonoid. To drive for a few days and see if it cleared. Light stayed on. I took to an independent mechanic and he took transmission apart, checked all parts (including the solonoid) all parts were fine. However, he did put in a new solonoid. Light was still on. He consulted gm (Buick) database to learn that this is a wiring problem that gm is aware of. That there is a short somewhere in the wiring and can cause transmission to burn up.

While operating the vehicle on snow-covered roads, the abs and awd systems abruptly stopped working with the warning lights coming on. This happened several times that day before arriving home, causing the car to slide through an intersection at one point. Dealer found a corroded wiring harness due to water. The location of this harness is exposed on the undercarriage of the car and is still exposed to normal wet weather driving. The failure of this harness caused the abs and awd sensor to overheat and disable the systems. In the process, the wheel bearings also overheated requiring replacement and repair. Total cost: $890.

Consumer experienced a problem with oil leaking into an electrical wiring sleeve near the oil plug whenever the vehicle got an oil change. Oil leaking into the wiring sleeve may cause a fire. Dealer was notified.
