When driving on the highway, white/terrible smelling smoke came rolling out of the vents inside my vehicle. It was so bad that I had to pull over, as it was burning my throat/nose/eyes and made me dizzy- this was in a matter of just a few short minutes. No dashboard lights or other signs of vehicle malfunction occurred at that time; however, this was a very alarming safety situation for my children, who were also in the vehicle...! The fire department was called, along with the police and a tow truck; as I...

Bought used in 2004 with 45k miles. In 2006 I had to have the window control replaced. In 2009 at 70k miles I had to have main gasket on engine replaced (was told buick knew of problem but refused recall) and 2 heads replaced as kept losing coolant & overheating. The very next year the body control module went out & had to be replaced. The abs light has been on for years & no body, not even the dealer who replaced the control module, can get it to go out. Last year the fuel gauge quit working. This year the left...

Bought my buick 2002 rendezvous a year ago with only 45,000 miles on it give or take. It was great until about 6 months into owning it when all of a sudden the lights would flash off driving at night (very unsafe) then when I would go to turn off the vehicle the lights won't shut off at all... They would flash and carry on the whole time I was driving. Then the service engine light came on and then the security light. One day the locks started clicking on and off....The radio locked up.. The air conditioning...

The window regulator broke and caused the window to drop into the door panel. The regulator, window clips and window regulator motor had to be replaced. Buick refused to honor the warranty on these parts. As a result, I paid $200 for the repair. *Tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2003 buick rendezvous. While driving at approximately 35 mph and attempting to engage the front, driver side power window, the window would not respond. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer where the front drivers side window guides were replaced. The failure recurred a few years later. The vehicle was taken to a local repair facility where the window guides were replaced again. Three months later, the front passenger window exhibited the exact failure. The vehicle was not yet repaired. The failure mileage was 32,000 and the current mileage was 45,000. Updated 10/01/2010. *Lj updated 10/04/10*jb

I have been seriously frustrated with my vehicle. I have taken to mechanics where I paid to have it placed on the diagnostic machine and I have had every fuse checked numerous times. Not once but many times over the past year. My 2004 buick rendezvous' gas gauge and speedometer work when they want to. Most of the time not at all. The speedometer will read over 100 mph. The gas gauge does not work. I took it to another mechanic today to be told it must be in the board. I have been told it has something to...

2002 Buick rendezvous otherwise known as the money pit. Seems that as usual our latest expense (101,000) is not covered under the recalls, due to the manufacturing date of the vehicle. Smelled gas for a week, then noticed gas gauge fluctuating, never showing empty even though trip odometer showed it had almost an empty tank. Mechanic stated crack in the fuel tank, but car was manufactured before the recall date, so buick did not cover the cost of repairs. Have recently also experienced loss of all power to...

The driver and passenger window motors on my buick rendezvous (2003) have both stopped working. I understand that there are several parts that are made of cheap plastic and to repair will cost over $500 per window. *Tr

I have a 2002 buick rened. I have had an on going problem with the car overheating and no ac. I have had the ac replaced on the vehicle, the temp gauge, the thermostat, the water-pump, 2 blown head gaskets, the fuel sensor, anti lock brake sensor and the fuel pump. I also have had to replace the window regulator on the passenger side window. I have receipts for all repairs but no I do not have the old parts. These repairs have costs me at least $5000k if not more. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2003 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that her vehicle stalls and shuts off at all times. The vehicle also smokes a lot and the gasket overheated. In addition, the driver's side window dropped down into the door. The buick dealer has had the vehicle for over a week making repairs. The dealer stated that different failures keep arising, such as the air mast flow sensor had to be changed twice, along with the water pump, timing belt, and new thermostats were installed. The repair could possibly cost more than $2,000. The vin was unknown. The failure mileage was 140,000.

Both the driver and passenger windows on our 2003 buick rendezvous have stopped working. We've been told it could cost up to $400 per window. We've come across several other people with the same problem with this type of gm product. *Tr
