2002 Buick Rendezvous visibility problems

“BOUGHT USED IN 2004 WITH 45K MILES. IN 2006 I HAD TO HAVE THE WINDOW CONTROL REPLACED. IN 2009 AT 70K MILES I HAD TO HAVE MAIN GASKET ON ENGINE REPLACED (WAS TOLD BUICK KNEW OF PROBLEM BUT REFUSED RECALL) AND 2 HEADS REPLACED AS KEPT LOSING COOLANT & OVERHEATING. THE VERY NEXT YEAR THE BODY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT & HAD TO BE REPLACED. THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR YEARS & NO BODY, NOT EVEN THE DEALER WHO REPLACED THE CONTROL MODULE, CAN GET IT TO GO OUT. LAST YEAR THE FUEL GAUGE QUIT WORKING. THIS YEAR THE LEFT FRONT HUB HAS GONE BAD AT 170K SO I CAN'T SAY IT WASN'T DUE, BUT THE OVERHEATING GAUGE KEEPS GOING INTO THE RED & THE OVERHEAT LIGHT COMES. HAD IT CHECK AND THE THERMOSTAT IS WORKING FINE, I AM NOT LOSING COOLANT AND THE COOLANT IS GOOD, & THERE IS NO WATER IN MY OIL. I CAN'T DRIVE MORE THAN 2 MILES WITHOUT THE OVERHEATING LIGHT COMING ON & THE GAUGE GOING INTO THE RED. *TR”

“BOUGHT MY BUICK 2002 RENDEZVOUS A YEAR AGO WITH ONLY 45,000 MILES ON IT GIVE OR TAKE. IT WAS GREAT UNTIL ABOUT 6 MONTHS INTO OWNING IT WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHTS WOULD FLASH OFF DRIVING AT NIGHT (VERY UNSAFE) THEN WHEN I WOULD GO TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHTS WON'T SHUT OFF AT ALL... THEY WOULD FLASH AND CARRY ON THE WHOLE TIME I WAS DRIVING. THEN THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THEN THE SECURITY LIGHT. ONE DAY THE LOCKS STARTED CLICKING ON AND OFF....THE RADIO LOCKED UP.. THE AIR CONDITIONING WON'T WORK... THE HORN STAYS ON SO LOUD IT IS DEAFENING AND FRIGHTENING TO ALL CARS AROUND YOU... IT IS SO LOUD YOU CAN'T HARDLY STAND IT... IT WON'T SHUT OFF.. WENT TO BUICK DEALER THEY SAID IT WOULD COST PROBABLY CLOSE TO 1000 TO FIX... TIL THEY DIAGNOSED IT... ANOTHER GARAGE COULDN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT HOW I WAS GOING TO SHUT OFF THE LIGHTS... I TOLD THEM TO PLEASE DISCONNECT THE BATTERY CABLE TO AT LEAST RESET IT...MY SON IS A MECHANIC AND ASKED AROUND AND FOUND OUT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS BUICK MODEL AND YEAR AND IS THE BODY CONTROL MODULE AND HAPPENS A LOT IN GM VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING.. LIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE DRIVING.. LIGHTS…”

“THE WINDOW REGULATOR BROKE AND CAUSED THE WINDOW TO DROP INTO THE DOOR PANEL. THE REGULATOR, WINDOW CLIPS AND WINDOW REGULATOR MOTOR HAD TO BE REPLACED. BUICK REFUSED TO HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THESE PARTS. AS A RESULT, I PAID $200 FOR THE REPAIR. *TR”

“2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE MONEY PIT. SEEMS THAT AS USUAL OUR LATEST EXPENSE (101,000) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS, DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE VEHICLE. SMELLED GAS FOR A WEEK, THEN NOTICED GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATING, NEVER SHOWING EMPTY EVEN THOUGH TRIP ODOMETER SHOWED IT HAD ALMOST AN EMPTY TANK. MECHANIC STATED CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT CAR WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SO BUICK DID NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. HAVE RECENTLY ALSO EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ALL POWER TO CIGARETTE LIGHTERS, DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN AND ENTIRE REGULATOR UNIT WAS REPLACED. BACK HATCH HANDLE FELL OFF, AGAIN. REARVIEW MIRROR ALSO FELL OFF. AC FAN WILL NO LONGER BLOW AT HIGHEST SETTING. THESE ARE ALL MINOR COMPARED TO THE FAULTY ABS SENSOR, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, AC CONDENSER, TIE RODS, 2 REPLACED BATTERIES, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, ROTORS. AND THOSE REPAIRS ARE JUST FROM THE LAST 3 YEARS.... *TR”

“I HAVE A 2002 BUICK RENED. I HAVE HAD AN ON GOING PROBLEM WITH THE CAR OVERHEATING AND NO AC. I HAVE HAD THE AC REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE, THE TEMP GAUGE, THE THERMOSTAT, THE WATER-PUMP, 2 BLOWN HEAD GASKETS, THE FUEL SENSOR, ANTI LOCK BRAKE SENSOR AND THE FUEL PUMP. I ALSO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE WINDOW REGULATOR ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW. I HAVE RECEIPTS FOR ALL REPAIRS BUT NO I DO NOT HAVE THE OLD PARTS. THESE REPAIRS HAVE COSTS ME AT LEAST $5000K IF NOT MORE. *TR”
