NHTSA Complaint #10273189 — 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS

I HAVE A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS WITH 52,650 MILES ON IT. IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS I HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE BODY CONTROL MODULE, A RT FRT WHEEL SPEED SENSOR REPLACED. WHEN I HAD IT IN FOR THE SPEED SENSOR REPLACED, THE GM SHOP FOUND THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS LEAKING AND MUST BE REPAIRED @ A COST OD $1000.00 AND THEN MAYBE THE HEAD GASKETS MAY NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO THE TYPE OD GASKETS THAT GM USED AND THE DEX-COOL ANTI FREEZE USED I BY GM. THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL YEARS AND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN FILED. A CLASS ACTION SUIT WAS FILED BUT NO ONE--NO ONE NOTIFIED THE PUBLIC ABOUT IT UNTIL IT WAS TO LATE TO GET IN ON IT. I THINK THAT THERE NEEDS TO BE A FORCED RECALL TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM. TAX PAYERS HAVE BAILED OUT GM AND WE GET STUCK WITH A FAULTY PRODUCT. I CONTACTED GM AND IN THE END THEY REFUSED TO MAKE GOOD OR EVEN ADMIT THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE THEY STARTED TO USE DEXCOOL. *TR
