2007 Buick Rendezvous Complaint Log

Due to lack of maintenance complete corrosion and rust have eaten through the entire body frame, undercarriage etc. This vehicle was sold to us at State line Auto LLC in Fulton Kentucky, without any disclosure of it being unsafe to drive in fact the rust spots underneath the vehicle have been covered and hidden by spray painting diligently, unfortunately the disguise of the rust with a black paint actually worked and we were unable to see the rest as it was hidden with the paint that they sprayed on the bottom of the vehicle. were assured that everything was in proper working order aside from it needing an oil change which was indicated by an engine light that was lit on, this car has been deemed unsafe to drive even after complete replacement of frame this car remains structurally unsafe to even have an alignment done. As per TnA Auto services and plaza tire. Plz contact to advise [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS, MY CAR HAD THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT POP UP AND IT JUST SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. EACH TIME I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I JUMP STARTED THE CAR. ANOTHER REPORTED INCIDENT ON HERE SAID THAT THEY JUST WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART IT, BUT I HAVE A PORTABLE DEVICE THAT ALLOWED ME TO JUMP START MY CAR IMMEDIATELY. I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND BOTH WERE FINE. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNRELATED, BUT WHENEVER I START MY CAR I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE BIT OR THE CAR WON'T START PROPERLY.

AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY IN RICH HOUR TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND DISPLAYS 2 LIGHTS 1."REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM" OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT.

I OWN A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. I WAS HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND REPLACING THE TIRES EVERY MONTH. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE HORRIBLE AND WE HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. ON JULY THE 17 2010 MY SON HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY AND CUTS TO THE FACE. THE TROOPER SAID HE DID NOT HAVE ON A SEATBELT, BECAUSE HE WAS PARTIALLY EJECTED. YET THE NURSE REPORTED THAT HE HAD SEATBELT MARKS FROM ACROSS HIS SHOULDER TO HIS CHEST WHICH INDICATED HE HAD ON HIS SEATBELT. I BELIEVE THE SEATBELT CAME UNLOCK AND THAT HOW HE GOT THROWN OUT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD GMC TO CHECK IT AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND THIS IS NOT TRUE. *TR

I READ THE ARTICLE ABOUT GM'S POSSIBLE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE ISSUE IN THE 4/30/2011 NEWSPAPER. I HAVE A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS CXL PURCHASED AS A GM CERTIFIED USED CAR FROM A LOCAL GM DEALER. THE FUEL GAUGE WANDERS BY 1/4 OF A TANK. WHILE UNDER WARRANTY, I HAVE BEEN TO SEVERAL DEALERS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM ABOUT 5-OR 6 TIMES TOTAL AND THEY HAVE INSTALLED A NEW SENDER/GAUGE, REPROGRAMMED THE COMPUTER, UPDATED THE SOFTWARE AND IT STILL ACTS THE SAME WAY. IT IS VERY ANNOYING AND I MUST ALWAYS KEEP IT ABOVE HALF FULL SO I DON'T RUN OUT OF GAS. I WAS FINALLY TOLD BY A SERVICE MANAGER THAT THEY HAVE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE WANDERING GAUGE BUT IT CAN'T BE FIXED AND I MUST JUST LIVE WITH IT. I AM NOW OUT OF WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND AM "LIVING WITH IT" UNTIL I SELL IT AND BUY ANOTHER CAR, PROBABLY NEXT YEAR. I FEEL THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS SHOULD BE ADDED TO THE LIST OF PROBLEM VEHICLES. *TR
