2002 Buick rendezvous with leaking gas tank not being covered under recall by gm #06230. *Tr

Rear differential will not stop groaning on any turn. Rear differential now has to be replaced and the car only has 80,000 miles on it. We also have to replace the rack and pinion. The total costs associated with both these will be well over $5,000. It is effecting the turning process when I need to turn the car. Also have a rack and pinion failure. The steering column completely locked up and the towing company had to put oil all over where the car was parked and slide it up to the cable to tow the car. Entire steering mechanism replaced but now the rack and pinion has to be replaced. I think it is due to the steering column issue. That is when it started. *Tr

2004 Buick rendezvous awd light came on and has never gone off. It came on when we had less than 30k miles on the car. We have had our car to many, many mechanics. None are able to fix this problem. One told us we needed all new tires, we bought new tires, one said it was the alignment we had it aligned. One mechanic went through the car and charged us 3 hours of labor to tell us that he did not know what was wrong and nothing appeared to be wrong. Another suggested we contact the dealer must be a central computer...

Speedometer, rpm gauge, fuel gage, and temperature gauge give false readings. Speedometer is the most important and gets stuck on different mph randomly. Currently it will not go above 20 mph. Research online suggest that the instrument cluster has 6 motors and one or more have failed. I called gm before the bankruptcy and they noted this had happened on some of their other makes and they were aware of complaints concerning the buick rendezvous, but there were not enough complaints to warrant a recall. They only offered to maybe help with the computer check, but would not assist with the $400 to $500 gm service charge to fix the instrument panel motors. *Tr

While traveling home for spring break. My 2002 buick rendezvous experienced electrical problems and stalled on the highway. I purchased this vehicle in december 2008 and it is still under warranty. I had the vehicle towed from stockton ca to tracy ca where it remains awaiting a service authorization to be fixed from my contract holder. The mechanic at the tracy dealership stated the battery was dead, the oil was very low and that the engine had internal problems that would require him to dismantle or replace...

I've had problems with this car since I purchased it in june 2005. First it was the fuel pump/sender,then came the brakes and traction system failure. I've many close calls, and had taken the car to a certified gm mechanic 5-7 times, to no avail. I'm still dealing with the brakes and traction system failure til this day.
