2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Exterior Lighting Problems

THE HEADLIGHTS, DASHBOARD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER, AND RADIO, CD PLAYER, INTERIOR LIGHTS, AND TAIL LIGHTS ON MY 2002 BUICK, RENDEZVOUS KEPT GOING OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID IT IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE. IT IS MY OPINION THAT THIS MALFUNCTION IS A VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. IN MY SITUATION THE SEVERAL TIMES THAT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT, I WAS IN A DANGEROUS PLACE (ON CURVEY HIGHWAY BETWEEN PENNSYLVANIA AND OHIO AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 55-70MPH) THE SITUATION WHEN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WERE OUT COULD HAVE HAD FATAL CONSEQUENCES ESPECIALLY WHEN TALL HILLS SURROUND CURVEY FREEWAYS AND ROADS AND SUCH AS A DEER CROSSING THE ROAD OR WORSE YET, A PERSON ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE PROBLEM IS STILL OCCURRING AND THE BCM KEEPS MALFUNCTIONING EVERY FEW MINUTES TURNING OFF ALL LIGHTS AND DASHBOARD CLUSTERS...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEAD LIGHTS WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE OR LOCATE A FAILURE WITHIN THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 98,000.

JUST PURCHASED A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS 4 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES WITH THIS CAR, IT LEFT ME STRANDED AND STARTED UP BY A JUMP START. I GOT THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND STARTER CHECKED ALL REPORTED FINE. CAR RAN FINE FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS THEN IT DID IT AGAIN. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL FLICKER AT NIGHT SOMETIMES AT A RHYTHM. THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DECIDED WHEN THEY WILL AND WILL NOT WORK. MAINLY THE SEAT HEATER BUTTONS. REPLACED BATTERY YESTERDAY AND WHILE DRIVING TO RICHMOND VA ALL INTERIOR/EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED ON AND OFF WITH THE BATTERY LIGHT SHOWING IN THE DASH. AFTER A FEW MINUTES EVERYTHING WENT BACK TO NORMAL. THESE CHEAPLY MADE VEHICLES WILL CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IF NOT DEATHS IF THESE COMPANIES DON'T STAND BEHIND WHAT THEY PUT OUT TO IT'S PUBLIC. CONSIDERING THAT I OWE 5000.00 FOR IT I WILL NOT PUT ALOT INTO IT...

WE HAVE A BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CAR'S INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OFF WITHOUT WARNING, AND IT BECOMES IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE DASHBOARD LIGHTS, INCLUDING SPEEDOMETER, AT NIGHT. OTHER TIMES, HORN WILL START BLARING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES WITH NO WARNING...ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT YESTERDAY...IT STARTLES ANYONE AROUND. NOW, WHEN WE TURN OFF THE CAR, THE HEADLIGHTS WON'T GO OFF AT ALL, NO MATTER WHAT WE TRY. WILL HAVE A DEAD BATTERY NEXT TIME WE GO TO DRIVE THE CAR (TOMORROW MORNING). *TR

2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS ALL THE LIGHTS TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON- THERE IS NOT A LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER 50-60 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR. LOST COUNT ON THE PREVIOUS YEARS BEFORE THAT. WE'VE BEEN TO THE DEALER TWICE AND THEY STATE THEY CAN NOT GET THE PROBLEM TO HAPPEN (WHILE IN THE SHOP), AND WITHOUT IT HAPPENING AT THE PRECISE TIME, THEY CAN NOT FIX THE ISSUE. IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMETHING REALLY BAD HAPPENS. WE WANT TO SELL THIS VEHICLE, BUT I CAN'T SELL IT MYSELF KNOWING THIS WILL HAPPEN TO THE BUYER. DEALER WILL NOT GIVE US EVEN CLOSE TO A TRADE IN VALUE (PRICING OBTAINED FROM THREE SEPARATE SOURCES) STATING THE VEHICLE IS PLAGUED WITH ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS. *TR

I OWN A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT TROUBLE FOR ME SINCE THE GET GO (2004). I HAVE NUMEROUS AMOUNT OF PROBLEMS THAT ARE GOING ON WITH MY VEHICLE AS OTHER OWNERS. ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS STARTED AT OR AROUND 70000 MILES. THE EXTERIOR LIGHTS AND INTERIOR LIGHTS GO OFF WITH OUT WARNING AND FOR NO REASON FOR SOMETIMES UP TO A MINUTE (AND THIS HAS HAPPENED AT NIGHTIME) "MAJOR SAFTEY ISSUE" NO ONE CAN TELL US WHY THE VEHICLE DOES THIS. THE NOISE THAT COMES FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHEN DRIVEN AT 45 MPH OR MORE IS OUTRAGIOUS...IT MAKES AN AWFUL HUMMING SOUND SO LOUD THAT THE RADIO CAN'T BE HEARD. THE VEHICLE ALSO WILL NOT START AT TIMES AS WELL...FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON AT ALL...NOTHING CAN BE FOUND WRONG WITH IT ALL!!! IT WILL STALL OR WILL NOT START AT ALL AFTER...
