2002 Buick Rendezvous Class Action?

Re: 2002 Buick Rendezvous Class Action?

Written by: saidm on Feb 04, 2008 11:26 AM

I purchased mine in 2006. The AWD Disabled light came on within 4 month. I took it to the dealer. They said it is the sensor that regulates the AWD feature and it needs to be replaced. Spent $550. Then right after the stupid warranty expired the AWD disabled light came on again. This time, I took it to the Dealer. Same problem with a different wheel. Spent another $650 ... Read More...

inacurate gas guage

Written by: ford_doc on Aug 10, 2008 03:15 PM

I have a 2006 buick Rendezvous. The gas guage is very inacurate especially from 1/2 tank to empty. I have been to the dealer 5 times, 3 sending units, a cluster and a reprogram. Now they want to tell me this is normal. If so why did they throw all these parts at it. Anyone had this problem and get it fixed? :mad: Read More...

I found your message searching for information about my 2006 Rendezvous with 41,000 miles on it. I have the same problem, I mentioned the torque converter, but the dealer said that it is not the problem and do not know what is wrong with it. I am so disappointed in the CUV. When my wife and I bought it we thought we were getting a great car. The Rendezvous makes the 3rd ... Read More...

side airbags and "side curtain" airbags different?

Written by: hawaiianguy on Sep 30, 2007 08:51 PM

As I've already said, I think the CXL and Ultra models at leaset from 2004 up have "side airbags" and a traction control system. From a website describing the 04 RDV: "CXL FWD ($30,935) and CXL AWD ($33,140) add leather upholstery, six-way power seats, automatic dual-zone air conditioning, heated mirrors, premium eight-speaker stereo with steering-wheel-mounted ...

For 2007, Buick has dropped the AWD option on the Rendezvous. They are going to drop the model after this model year. If you really want one you will have to look for a leftover 2006. Phil Read More...

UPDATE: :lemon: My Car was ruled a Lemon and I still can't get GM to do what's right :lemon: My car was deemed a lemon by the Better Business Bureau in a hearing against GM in June of 2007. They were ordered to buy back my vehicle as they never notified me of the fix and "supposedly" there has been a fix for this problem since Nov 2006. The arbitrator of the case sighted ...

I purchased a 2005 Rendezvous. I see that in 2006, Buick introduced the Nv system as an option. Could i get this system to work on my 2005? Also, I really like the HUD feature. Anyone know where I could pick up this feature, without going to the dealer? Thanks Read More...

My experience with my 2006 FWD Rendezvous

Written by: dill on May 27, 2007 05:34 PM

I have owned my 2006 Buick Rendezvous now for 14 months. In short, I love it. I have the standard 3.5 liter powerplant that although isn't neck snapping on accelleration it is fast enough for merging and other things it would be called upon for. There is nothing specific that the Rendezvous does exceptionally well. But it does a whole lot of things very well and that ... Read More...

Re: Engine Noise - 2006 Rendezvous CXL [jacklin30]

Written by: jacklin30 on Apr 17, 2007 00:10 PM

Took my car to the dealer and it appears the right front hub went out and that is what was causing the noise I thought was engine noise. It was covered under warranty. I also had a horrible rattle in the dash that was driving me crazy. They found a screw was missing on the instrument panel, replaced that and now the dash is quiet again. I also have a popping noise that I ... Read More...
