| 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 several starts and turn offs. it has also done this on inclines or after filling at the gas station once as well. if you go back and try to start the vehicle in about a half hour it will start...i figured this out after calling a tow truck several times...and by the time they got to me..they tried to start the vehicle and it started. the vehicle burns a qurt of oil every 3000 miles or so. now my brakes are to the floor which i have recently had it to the shop again and the mechanic has told me that my brakes are fine that i need my abs pump (master cylinder) replaced it is leaking 800.00 +++ just for the part alone hmmmmm??? just another issue reported like all the above from other buick rendezvous 2002 owners. oh and also my driver side window regulator has broke and that will be costing me 450.00. passenger side door does not shut correctly now at all the hinges are messed up on these models. the door gets stuck all the time. all of these problems are problems that other buick rendezvous owners of the 2002 models are having and something needs to be done about it asap. *jb | |||

| We have an 2002 buick rendezvous awd. just recently our car starting to act up while driving. it was making a whining noise and acting as if it was in neutral while stopping. we found out that the transmission, intake manifold, wheel bearing, radiator, a/c condenser, rims are bad making our tires lose air, and head gasket all need replaced. we also were told that the power steering had a leak and was causing a noise. we are looking at having to pay over 5 thousand dollars to fix everything. after looking on the internet, we have seen millions of complaints for all these things breaking in the 2002 model. something needs done about this. i will do whatever it takes to get help from gm to fix these damaged cars. these should all be recalled. *tr | |||
