2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Fuelpropulsion System Problems

CAR WAS SOLD TO ME IN 2018. FIRST DAY DRIVING AFTER PURCHASE, OVERHEATED AFTER GOING MAYBE A MILE DOWN THE ROAD. HAVE HAD SEVERAL INSTANCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED, AND SEVERAL DIFFERENT PARTS REPLACED. HEAD GASKET, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT, RADIATOR FLUSHED/FILLED, MOTOR MOUNT AND LEFT STRANDED SEVERAL OCCASIONS DUE TO THIS ISSUE. TWICE HAVING TO WALK IN THE WINTER WITH MY DAUGHTER. VEHICLE OVERHEATS IN MOTION, STATIONARY AND REGARDLESS OF CITY OR HIGHWAY.

FULE LEAKES FROM FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR.

I HAVE A GAS LEAK COMING FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY CAR IS THE FUEL LINE AND EVERY YEAR I HAVE TO CHANGE MY POWER STEERING PUNK AND I GET REGULAR OIL CHANGES AND MY TRANSMISSION STILL GOES SLOW AND MY CAR SMELLS LIKE FART I'M A TRUCK DRIVER SO I LEFT A YEAR-AND-A-HALF AGO SO MY CAR BEEN SITTING I JUST GOT BACK HOME ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO AND THESE ARE THE PROBLEMS THAT I'M FACING NOW .WHY

GAS SMELL IN CAR INTERIOR, BOTH WHEN STATIONARY AND WHEN IN MOTION. NOTICED A RUSTED FUEL LINE, APPROXIMATE LOCATION UNDER DRIVERS SEAT.

PCM HAS BEEN CAUSING PROBLEMS. I FIRST LOST MY SPEEDOMETER WITH NO IDEA HOW TO FIX IT. INTERMITTENT GAS GAGE PROBLEMS, AND NOW VEHICLE CUTS OUT WHILE DRIVING. MECHANIC HAS RULED OUT PLUGS AND WIRES, COILS, IGNITION CONTROL AND MORE. NOW, I MUST GO TO THE DEALERSHIP WITH IT. THIS RECALL IS LISTED ON 2004

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL HOSE HAD DETACHED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER TWO HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 302,723.

ONE DAY I WAS ON MY WAY TO DROP OF THE KIDS AT DAYCARE WHEN THE CARE SUDDENLY TURNS OFF, I WAS GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH;I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY. THANK GOD NOTHING HAPPENED , I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SAFELY I WAITED FOR A WHILE THEN MAYBE 15 MIN LATER IT TURNS BACK ON.I STARTED TO NOTICE THAT THE CAR STARTED SMELLING, LIKE GAS, I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC,SEVERAL TIMES BUT THEY NEVER COULD FIGURE OUT WHAT IT WAS. AFTER THAT INCIDENT IT WENT DOWN HILL IT STARTED TO HEAT UP ON ME, WASTED MORE GAS, WOULD TURN OFF ON ME A LOT AND AIR/HEAT STOPPED WORKING. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT STARTED TO SLIP, THINKING THAT IT WILL FIX THE PROBLEM AND BOY WAS I WRONG. IT WAS STILL DOING THE SAME, THE SMELL WAS GETTING WORSE, I TOOK IT BACK TO MY MECHANIC....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE NEAR THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER WAS ALERTED BY ANOTHER MOTORIST THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ON FIRE. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FIRE WAS DUE TO A FUEL LEAK FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 196,000.

INTERMITTENT LOSS OF POWER, LOSS OF ABS BRAKES AND LOSS OF AWD. WHEN YOU APPLY PRESSURE TO THE GAS PEDAL (ACCELERATOR) IF YOU DEPRESS THE PEDAL FOR WHAT FEELS LIKE OVER A 1/2 INCH YOU LOSE POWER AND THE RPMS GO SKY HIGH AND YOU CAN HEAR IT TRYING TO REV UP. TO GET GOING YOU HAVE TO RELEASE THE GAS AND PRESS LIGHTLY. I LOSS POWER, ESP. GOING UPHILL SINCE IT NEEDS MORE TO GO, BUT YOU CAN'T GIVE IT MORE GAS ELSE IT WON'T GO. I AND MY FIANC WERE ALMOST HIT IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF THIS LOSS OF POWER. YOU CAN GAIN SPEED, BUT VERY SLOWLY AND ANYTIME YOU DEPRESS THE GAS PEDAL FURTHER IT AGAIN FAILS. REPLACED THREE WHEEL BEARINGS, ALL BRAKES, TWO CALIPERS AND THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. NOTHING SHOWS ON THE READOUT EXCEPT FOR THE FRONT BEARINGS AREN'T READING RIGHT, BUT THEY'RE BRAND...
