2002 Buick Rendezvous Body problems

The headlights, dashboard instrument cluster, and radio, cd player, interior lights, and tail lights on my 2002 buick, rendezvous kept going out for no apparent reason while driving on the freeway. I took the car to the shop and they said it is the body control module. It is my opinion that this malfunction is a very serious problem. In my situation the several times that the lights went out, I was in a dangerous place (on curvey highway between pennsylvania and ohio at speeds between 55-70mph) the situation when...

Cooling fans among others. If you shut the car off and turn it on it goes away until you shut the car off. *Tr

Secondly, he noticed that the instrument panel gauges displayed inaccurate readings. Thirdly, he noticed that the battery warning indicator illuminated on the instrument control panel. He took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the battery and two modules in the electrical system. One week after the repair, the failure resurfaced. The vin was unknown.

2002 Buick rendezvous, - sold by gm s "gm certified".. Only must have been a joke.

Very dangerous while driving. Intake manifold gasket - cost one thousand dollars.. Fuel gauge does not work. Car does not run.. Get stuck for the past two months, at least three times per week. Paid four hundred dollars to replace...

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. While driving 45 mph, the interior lights dimmed for approximately three seconds. The dealer was unable to diagnose the failure; however, they replaced the electronic brake and traction control module along with the body control module. The failure continued. The dealer stated that the hvac control head and the battery caused the failure. The contact stated that her husband replaced both parts and there had been no further occurrences. While driving 35 mph, the...

I bought my 02 buick rendezvous in oct of 05. It had 53k. I just hit 90k the largest part is highway miles from this passed year with several deaths in my family. To start with my passenger floor would get soaked. At first I thought the window was left down or the sunroof was leaking. I checked and the rubber is still intact and I can spray water on the roof and nothing leaks in. The tract around the sunroof is not wet. One morning my on star system had water dripping from it but no water was felt around the sun...

Then yesterday the vehicle lost all power while I was driving in traffic. Somehow I managed to turn a corner (without power steering) and park the vehicle.

When I tried to leave work, it died...

Three safety related issues with my 2002 buick rendezvous cxl. The abs sensors failed which was a difficult problem to diagnose as the problem was actually caused by water in the insulation to the sensor wiring harnesses. I'm now being notified of a front wheel bearing problem that has not yet reached a formal recall. Second issue involves the awd rear axle assembly (differential). Moaning noises start in the rear end, in low speed turns such as parking lot maneuvers. Occurrence increases in severity and...

I own a 2002 buick rendezvous. This vehicle has been nothing but trouble for me since the get go (2004). I have numerous amount of problems that are going on with my vehicle as other owners. All of these problems started at or around 70000 miles. The exterior lights and interior lights go off with out warning and for no reason for sometimes up to a minute (and this has happened at nightime) "major saftey issue" no one can tell us why the vehicle does this. The noise that comes from the front of the vehicle...

My wife was involved in a fatal accident on july 2, 2006. She was a promising micro-biologist whom worked on cures for ovarian cancer. She was ran off a road by another driver and sent into a line of trees in our buick rendezvous (2002 cx). The driver-side headlight made direct contact with one tree and the force opened the driver's side door allowing it to be "ripped" off the hinges. Thereby, exposing her to the natural elements and making her vulnerable to strike a second tree that broke every bone in her...

I own a 2002 buick rendezvous and the "check engine soon" light came on. The car was taken to a garage on 8/19/05 and they fixed what they thought was the problem (r&r fuel tank connection to clean and re-secure, had water in connector). Total cost of repair was $145.07. On 8/26/05 the light came on again, we took the back to the same garage and they found water again in the connector and determined that the water was coming from the inside of the vehicle. They discovered the water was coming from the air...

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

I had to have the air condition fix not for blowing. Cold air condenser leaking. I had to have the blower motor replaced. Windshield washer freezing up. Internal failure r &r center console replaced. Had liftgate assembly replaced. *Jb

Just opening a buick rendezvous door caused a $900 dollars damage. We opened the driver side door of our new buick rendezvous 2002. It was a windy day and the door went too far bending the hinges and causing damage to the frontal body part of the vehicle. Apparently, the doors have no door brake and therefore, this type of damage could easily occur. (See www.Buick.8K.Com) the dealer was all too familiar with the phenomena. In fact, he said, that morning he had the same problem with 3 other customers. Buick refused to fix our vehicle. *La

While driving transmission jerked and won't shift properly from second to third gear. Dealer replaced the transmission. Also, in the last past five months, the liftgate hinges/tie rod, and ignition switch had been replaced. *Ak gears and tires were replaced, but problem still exists. *Ph

The odometer read improperly and as a result the vehicles mileage was incorrect.*Ak

Buick rendevous - 2002rear liftgate can be inadvertently opened by depressing either the key fob button or the dash board button while the car is in park.The car can be placed in drive and driven, and the dash board warning indicator does not illuminate, warning the driver that the gate is ajar. While I haven't investigated this, the sensor is probably a plunger or pressure sensor. The gate is heavy enough, even when unlocked, that the sensor does not activate on unlocking. As the car is driven, the gate moves...

Driver door hinge weakened which caused the door to become sprung. It rubbed against the front fender and caused it to bend. Car had 25,109 miles on it and was under warranty. Buick refused to honor the warranty. *Tt

Vehicle driver-side door hinge, and door and front body panel edges, were bent by only a small amount of wind pushing door forward. Two attempts by dealer to reset the door, including a new hinge, have failed to return the door and window to original position against the door seal, resulting in a constant wind noise which is very annoying. Hinge or door frame to which it is attached appear to be insufficient in strength. Every time the door is opened fully the hinge can be seen to bend away from the structure to...

The tailgate hatch opened while being driven. The dealer stated that there was nothing he could do. The consumer requested a replacement vehicle or a buy back. The left front door had a winding sound, can see a gap, and did not open properly. The hinges were adjusted. The heated seat was inoperative. The rear hatch light had come on when going over bumpy roads, and the rear hatch switch was sticking. The rear hatch switch was replaced, and the liftgate lock assembly was replaced. Scc
