2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS WITH LEAKING GAS TANK NOT BEING COVERED UNDER RECALL BY GM #06230. *TR
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAD THREE FLAT TIRES ON HIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VALVE STEMS CAUSED THE TIRES TO DEFLATE. THE DEALER HAD TO REPLACE THE VALVE STEMS. THE VALVE STEM MANUFACTERER IS DILL AND THE PART NUMBER IS ACT# 444TR4T3. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT BEEN NOTIFIED.
AIR CONDITIONER CONDENSER REPLACED ON A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. COST $1200. I WILL NEVER BUY AN AMERICAN CAR AGAIN AND I WILL TALK TO MY FRIENDS TO BUY OTHER THAN BUICK PRODUCT. *TR
I HAVE A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS AND I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. WE HAVE HAD MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR! ON TOP OF OUR 400 DOLLAR A MONTH CAR PAYMENT WE CAN NOT AFFORD TO REPLACE ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS. OUR AC CONDENSER AND BLOWER DO NOT WORK PROPERLY. IN FACT ONLY THE TWO HIGHEST SETTINGS OF THE HEATER WORK ON OUR CAR. SO IT'S GREAT DRIVING HOURS TO CHRISTMAS KNOWING THAT OUR THREE YOUNG DAUGHTERS WILL EITHER BE FREEZING OR SWEATING. NEXT THE WHEEL BEARINGS WENT. THAT WAS GOING TO BE A VERY COSTLY REPAIR. WE PURCHASED A WHEEL BEARING AT STURDEVANTS TO HELP US SAVE MONEY. THEN WHEN THAT DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE BUICK DEALERSHIP AGAIN. ONLY THEN DID THEY TELL US THAT THEY WERE RECALLED AND REPLACED THEM FOR FREE. THE 150 WE SPENT PERSONALLY TO BUY THE WHEEL BEARING? TOO...
2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS STARTED MAKING NOISE. WHEN TURNING ON VENTILATION CONTROL TO 60 DEGREES TO GET A/C TO TURN ON DUE TO IT BEING OUR FIRST HOT DAY OF THE SEASON, NOTICED COMPRESSOR WAS NOT KICKING IN NOR WAS THE VEHICLE COOLING OFF. DEALER STATES CONDENSER HAS FAILED AT 40,000 MILES AND REQUIRES REPLACING. COST AT DEALERSHIP $925. SEEMS TO BE A PATTERN OF THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS RELATED TO CONDENSER.
HAD MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPLACE REAR BRAKES. STILL GETTING NOISE FROM REAR WHEELS, TOOK IT TO BUICK DEALERSHIP TO INVESTIGATE. THEY ADJUSTED BRAKES AND THEY FAILED WITHIN A WEEK. I WAS THEN CHARGED $1000 PLUS A $400 RENTAL CAR BILL WHILE THEY "FIXED THE BRAKES." AFTER GETTING MY CAR BACK IT WAS STILL "WHIRRING", TURNS OUT THE PROBLEM WAS A HUB BEARING FAILURE ON ALL FOUR TIRES.
CONSUMER STATED MOTOR HEATER WILL NOT BLOW OUT HOT AIR. MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND STATED THAT WAS THE WAY THE VEHICLE WAS DESIGNED.*JB
