Tl* the contact owns a 2003 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that the vehicle failed to start and the steering wheel was difficult to turn. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 160,000. *Tt *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the rack and pinion, and there was a loud noise concerning the steering column. An independent repair shop replaced the part and, less than five days later, the steering wheel was tight and difficult to turn properly. The independent repair shop determined that the part was faulty. The dealer (schumacher buick gmc of west palm beach, 541 n lake blvd, west palm beach, fl 33408, (561)-842-1595) replaced the rack and pinion. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

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

This suv was purchased at the end of august 2016 and once in the car and driving down the road we realized the vehicle power steering was hard to turn and the brakes were going all the way down. We also had a car accident, because it was very hard to turn and once in the parking space the brakes went completely out and when trying to stop the suv would not stop and we hit a parked car with the lady in the car on 9/11/2016. Went on line and noticed recalls for power steering and cloth seats on some models for...

This vehicle is a joke. I've had the ball joints worked on, gear shift (suddenly wouldn't change gears anymore), the transmission pump needs replacing, and when I drive, specifically if I turn or have to go over a speed hump, or over a small dip, there's a loud pop and lots of creaking even though the tire rod, ball joints and wheel bearings were replaced. After they were replaced, everything was quiet. About a year later, I'm hearing noises again. I've just grown accustomed to the fact that my car is loud. I know not to buy another buick.

Engine stops working with loss of all control, battery turns over but vehicle will not start. When I press on accelerator the car will start but when I stop at the stop light the car will stop. I am afraid to drive it in highway. .

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...

Steering wheel fluid was emptying out rapidly, it was replaced. Start drving on the highway the car steerinf froze I could not steer it. Made it off the road mechanic put it on the lift he told me that the rack and pion was gone on both sides which is very dangerous and very expensive job. I heard nothing about a recall. *Tr

I purchased a used 2003 buick rendezvous 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 recurs. 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. *Tr
