It feels like the transmission is going out but only sometimes. On occasion it will be driving fine then i go to pull off from a stop and it just wont really go like maybe skips1st gear or at least part of it. It's crazy and dangerous. I do not believe it to be the transmission. Only happens from complete stop, sometimes. Buick rendezvous 05

We found out that we had a problem with my wife's vehicle. Initially, the vehicle was stationary.i took it to get an oil change and was asked to come into the shop to be shown that the antifreeze was like yogurt in the reservoir. We were told that we needed a coolant flush. This led to being told that we needed a new radiator; bypass hose; and last but not least, head gasketjob amounting to approximately 1600.00. We were told that there was no open recall but yet there was litigation going on regarding dex-cool antifreeze and that it was causing all of the problems that were and are having with this vehicle.
On, thursday, july 9th 2005, i tried to start my vehicle, it started but the ignition seemed to keep trying to start.none of the start up lights worked (oil, brake, service engine, seat belt), so i knew something was wrong.i turned the engine off and tried restarting it and it wouldn't start.i kept trying to start it for about 10 minutes. I finally gave up and went inside.i came back out and tried to start it again about 15 minutes later and it started up just fine and everything was working inside. On monday, july 13th 2005, i tried to start it and nothing happened.i waited about 10 minutes and it started right up like nothing was ever wrong. I feel like there's a problem with the ignition somewhere. I'm afraid of what will happen if the car stalls while i'm driving it. The abs seems to come and go as it pleases as well, i don't know if there have been any complaints about that.
I was driving down eastern and stewart in las vegas nv when the car stalled and would not start again while trying to coast into a 7-11 parking lot hit a wall and car rear ended me . I replaced the fuel pump, ecv and the vehicle worked fine there was gas leaking from the ecv now i cant get the car to start at all i believe it has to do with the electronic ignition system.

On may 27, 2005 my husband purchased a2005 buick rendezvous cx plus. 3 times since the purchase the vehicle has stalled during our rush hour trip to work, 06/16, 06/20 & 06/27. Each time the vehicle was slowing down, once when entering a highway (route i-95 in pa) and twice when coming to a stop light on nj route 130. I was with him each time it occurred.fortunately, the vehicle restarted.my husband has taken the vehicle to the dealer, explaining the exact circumstances before the failure. Because the dealer could not duplicate the problem, nothing was done. This seem to be the same problem encountered by the 2004 rendezvous for which gm issued a recall (#05v157000). The resolution was to replace the ignition relay. There is also a njtsa action number pe04075 that describes this problem for the 2004 rendezvous.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that the tpms warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer several times and they indicated that air needed to be placed in the tires, rotated the tires more than once and later indicated that two of the four tires were failed. Additionally, the instrument panel failed on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the instrument panel but the failure recurred. In addition, the vehicle stalled on numerous occasions. The vehicle was taken to the dealer who replaced the battery but the failure persisted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was not available.
Stepper motors in the instrument cluster failing. One gauge goes bad they all do.cannot determine how much gas i have or how fast i am going cause all needles point down or stop at 70. I can be at a red light , completely stopped and it says i am going 110 mph. I have a 4 year old, a 5 year old, and a 5 month old in the back of the car. Its pretty scary for them as well. I have seen this is a common problem with gm made cars from 2000-2005. Wouldn't you think they would fix this by now? not happy with this car at all.
While slowing down or at stop lights, car will just stall. So far it has restarted every time. Mechanic can not find any problems. Frustrated and afraid to drive far from home. I have also replaced right side wheel bearings at 42,000 miles.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. For the last two months she noticed that the brakes seemed to be locking when they were applied which made it difficult to stop the vehicle. When the dealer diagnosed the failure there were no failure codes. On april 12, 2010, the failure recurred; however, on april 19, 2010 the dealer stated that the vehicle was safe to drive and no failure codes were detected. While the contact was driving the service traction, abs and brake lights were illuminated on the instrument panel when the failure occurred. The dealer drove the vehicle and stated that they were unable to duplicate the failure. The failure became progressively worse and it became more difficult to stop the vehicle when the brakes were applied. The service manager drove the vehicle on april 21, 2010 and was able to duplicate the failure; however, they were unable to determine what caused the failure to occur. The failure occurred at least three times in ten days. The vehicle had not been repaired when the complaint was filed. The vin was not available. The current mileage was 85,851 and the failure mileage was 86,000.
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. He told me that the head gasket needed to be replaced, i didn't have more money. He did't let me drive home, he was very worried because the smell of gas was so bad, he said that i should risk my kids and myself, the care can catch on fire.he had the truck towed to my house didn't charge me for it and i haven't moved it since then..ive put so much money in that truck, i kept up with the maintenance like clock work.i was just lucky that we never crashed we got close and we didn't blow up. I don't know weather i should take it in to a gmdealer to have them evaluate the truck to see if it is part of the recall.
We have had numerous issues with the 2005 buick rendezvous. The biggest issue is the fuel loss. The car is leaking fuel. Peoria kia stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and since we purchased it used it was as is. This is very dangerous and we need to get the fuel and electrical system fixed..we have two children and it is not safe for us. I am glad that i found this recall information but i need help getting the fuel and electrical system fixed.
I purchased my 2005 buick rendezvous on jan. 14, 06.after having it for 3 days, i was driving down the highway, coming to a stop and the vehicle died.i put the vehicle in park, cranked it, and luckily it started with no problem.i later happened to me 2 more times.i took it to my dealer and they said due to the fact that they can not get it to duplicate what happened when i was driving there is nothing they can do about it.so i'm stuck driving a vehicle that goes dead on me for no apparent reason.
Started vehicle and began out of driveway, security light came on, gas gauge, tach gauge, temperature gauge and odometer stopped working, car will start but not running right, i parked the car due to safety. This exact problem was recalled by gm on the 2004 model but not 2005 model, needs to be recalled.
Transmission clunks, jumps and shifts at the wrong times and at the wrong speeds. This can be felt and heard as a loud bank and whole vehicle jerk by all passengers. Unnerving as well as concern for safety. Two trips to the dealer without any solution.
I started driving my car and a few blocks away my locks started to lock and unlock constantly and they would not stop. My seat moved on its own (has electric memory seating). The car started to shake like it was going to die. As soon as i came to a stop the car started to shake and would not accelerate. An "error" messages displayed under the non working speedometer where your miles usually show". Came to another stop and tried to turn onto a street and the car would not accelerate and kept "jumping" all the while the locks were still locking and unlocking and my running daytime headlights kept flickering on and off. I'm lucky that the car didn't just quit with oncoming traffic. From what i read, it's the bcm and this causes major problems regarding the safety of the vehicle. Buick is aware and will not make a recall on this defective part. (a part that is supposed to last for the lifetime of the vehicle).. A part that has caused some drivers to lose power and headlights while traveling down highways! i'm taking my car into buick tomorrow for a diagnostic (which i can't afford more problems with a car that cost $40k in 2005 and only has 81k miles on it!!) when they say luxury vehicle. I think buick meant "luxury expense" just to own one!electrical issues shouldn't almost cause an accident or injury!
I was driving and my headlights flickered then i lost low beams .. Parked and went back out to go to the store and i had no lights low beams wouldn't work fog light stop working and high beams stopped working look in fuse box to see if a fuse blew and 6 fuses blew and shot sparks out of the fuse box under the hood.
Engine on this vehicle has stalled five times since service date of 11/29/04. The vehicle is a 2005 buick rendezvous. The engine stalls without warning and has always quit at slow to idle speeds. This vehicle was purchased to replace a 2004 buick rendezvous due to the same stalling problem. Due to the problem i have become scared to drive this vehicle. The engine has stalled without warning on april 20th., may 5th, may 8th, august 13th, august 18th, and i have an appointment to take the vehicle into the dealership this coming monday on august 22nd on 05/09/05 vehicle was at the dealership they could not duplicate the problem, and there are never any codes in the computer. On 06/24/05 vehicle was back at the dealership for the same problem and at that time the ignition relay was replaced per pip3139a and i have had two engine since then. I don't know if old parts are available. Any help here would be greatly appreciated as i am a 78 year old women scared to drive this vehicle.
In the spring of 2012 (approximately 48,000 miles), i was driving in a 40 - 45 mph zone, made a sharp left turn into a parking lot and the engine shut down and power steering to shut down. I previously reported this incident to my local buick dealer, pinegar chevrolet, branson, mo, just to have this incident on record.on december 29, 2014 (89,000 miles) this same type event occurred when slowing down (in a 45 mph zone) and making a sharp left turn into a parking lot.car shut off, had to completely stop, place gear in park and restart.sounds like same ignition issues discovered in gm cars recently, but the buick rendezvous has not been included.
When turning into my driveway the engine shuts off losing all steering.this has happened several times in the past (since 2009) usually when turning right from a stop sign or turning right into my driveway.
While on vacation, the speedometer indicated a speed of 20 mph while it was obvious that i was traveling much faster.during this period, the speedometer would not go above 20 mph and at times indicated 0 mph while the vehicle was moving.the next day the speedometer worked correctly.when traveling home, the speedometer would work for about 100 miles and gradually would indicate lower and lower speeds.it i stopped the vehicle and shut off the engine and restarted the vehicle it would start working again for an undetermined length of time.this is very unsafe and is unusual for this item to fail on a vehicle.i calleda local buick dealer and was told that they have recently seen a lot of failures with the speedometer and the instrument cluster on the buick rendezvous.
Update: prior issues were due to bcm failure which that was my assumption based on numerous owner reviews. This part is a major safety issue if fails and buick is aware and won't recall. These should last for the life of the vehicle. Occasionally one will go bad but shouldn't. The fact that many rendezvous models face this issue of failure prematurely shows that it is a defective product! many have almost dies due to this failure. Car shutting off and lights going out while driving down highways/ expressways.
A few months ago my car stalled at the bus stop and shut down.it would not restart.the car needed to be jumped.the warranty was going to be up soon so we took the vehicle to rice buick in knoxville, tn to get looked at.they hooked it up to the machine and it didn't do it so they determined that it must have been something i did that made the car stop.this past wednesday i was parked at the bus stop with my car running with the blinkers on in park and with the emergency brake on.my car shut down again and would not restart.it is habit for me to take the emergency brake off when i go to start the vehicle so it remained off while i tried to start the car.i kept taking the keys out and trying to start the car like it was the first time in it that day. I again checked to see if i was in park and it was.i took the remote keyless entry device off of the keys in case my friend could not help me and i had to use my house key on that ring.when i shut the door of my car everything was fine for about 10 seconds and then my car started rolling down the street.i tried to use the remote to get the door unlocked because my 2 year old was in the car.it would not unlock.i never locked the car when i got out.my car finally crashed into a parked truck and stopped.when my friend tried to get my daughter out the door would not open.she asked me to unlock it but i had dropped my keys on the way down.she tried again and it opened right away.all of the doors were then unlocked except the drivers side door.my daughter was fine because she was buckled in her seat.i had a lot of bruises and scrapes.this is the second electrical incident we have had with this car.the power steering has also stopped working on several incidents while we were driving.i don't know if that is linked to this electrical problem.i have read several internet complaints about the same thing happening to other buick rendezvous.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. The contact stated as she was driving at 40mphthe lights for the entire brake system came on, the anti lock brake light,traction light and the check engine light. This also caused the vehicle to stall. The contact called onstar which performed a diagnostic test and informed her to drive the vehicle to the dealer for them to repair it. The dealer kept the vehicle for three days and repaired it. After the vehicle was driven home, after a couple days the failure lights came back on . The gm manufacturer was called and they stated the vehicle is out of warranty and there was no recall. The failure mileage was 20,130.
While traveling from utah to iowa on interstate 80 with the cruise control set at roadway speed. After some time the speedometer kept climbing while the speed of the vehicle decreased. After stopping at a rest area the speedometer never moved. It was just stuck at approximately 112 mph. Luckily we were given a gps with speedometer built in as a gift. Leaving the rest stop, we continued our journey, and by the time we made it to iowa the speedometer gauge was facing straight down whether we were stopped or driving road speeds. We did not take it to a dealership immediately because we have three small children and after sitting in the car that long, we could not justify sitting at a dealership for hours on end. Around five days after arriving in iowa, the speedometer started working again. This greatly confused me, because when something breaks on a vehicle, it tends to stay broken. On our travels back to utah the samething happened to the speedometer, so as soon as we arrived in utah, i dropped my spouse and children off at home, and took it to the dealership. I explained the problem and my situation and they came to the conclusion of a loose or broken connection deep behind the dash. Here is the "kicker", according to them there was no recall for this said problem and that it would cost $600 to fix. As i am not the original owner of the vehicle it was purchased as is from a dealership in iowa. I unfortunately do not have $600 to spend to repair the vehicle. We now have 86,365 miles on a vehicle that the speedometer no longer works. I cannot see how it is not a safety recall, but i am not in big business. So i feel i am taking the appropriate steps to fix the problem for not only myself, but all the others' comments that i have read.
Our 2005 buick rendezvous speedometer stopped working.the dealer changed a sensor for $125, that did not work.they greased the lines and checked it out on their equipment but that has not worked either.i saw online that many people had problems with this and their electronic problems.is there a recall from buick?
2005 buick rendezvous rolled from park with keys out of the ignition injuring consumers wife. The consumer had other problems with the vehicle such as the power steering becoming hard .

The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous.the contact stated that the speedometer was inoperable.the dealer repaired the vehicle by replacing the instrument panel assembly.the manufacturer was contacted and promised to call the contact back.the failure mileage was 64,000 and the current mileage was 65,000. Updated 11/03/11
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 35 mph on normal road conditions the lights for the awd and abs systems illuminated.according to the owner's manual when abs illuminates the vehicle should be stopped and towed for assistance.this incident has occurred several times and the dealer advised the contact to drive the vehicle eventhough the manual recommended towing.the contact was not aware of the remedy repair to fix awd and abs illumination problem.
The speedometer stopped working properly and reads seriously erroneous speeds, both higher and lower than true speeds, which i checked with a gps unit.apparently this is due to defective stepper motors in the instrument cluster from what i read on the internet.gm needs to recall and fix these.the defect can cause drivers to travel at unsafe speeds, as they are misled by the speedometer reading.
I have no speedometer and the bearings have gone bad,i called gm to see about it and get the run around,can u help. 2005 buick rendezvous cx.i have only had 9 months.
While driving my speedometer just stopped working.it has not worked since.sometimes it says i'm going 10mph and sometimes it says i'm going 110mph and sometimes it just hangs down at the bottom.obviously, this is extremely dangerous not knowing what speed you are traveling at.

Dt: 2005 buick rendezvous.the horn is difficult and almost impossible to blow.the areais sensitive and the amount of pressure is excessive.the consumer spoke to the dealer and manufacturer, and their position was if the horn works they have no specification on how limited the area is or how excessive the pressure is to blow the horn.the owners manual states press near the horn symbol on the steering wheel and the horn will sound.one inch from the horn symbol is dead area.if not driving straight ahead consumerdoes not know where the horn symbol is. In an emergency situation this could cause an accident.
While backing our of my driveway the vehicle started vibrating due to engine ignition malfunction but did not stall.at the same time dashboard light went on indicating that engine needed an oil change though the oil was just changed 2 days prior to the incident.shut the engine off and restarted and engine operated normally except the dashboard light again indicated need for an oil change.brought the vehicle back to the dealer for repair.after discussion with service representative it was decided to install ignition relay part for the second time.a scan system test regulator test was done with no problem found.will continue to run vehicle and hope problem corrected.

Have had to replace head caskets two times since i bought this now having problems with gas smell when i turn on heater whats next its got about 51000 miles on it
The car stopped automatically at a stop light on a major hwy. I thought quickly and put it in neutral thank you jesus it started. I could have been rear ended. That is a major problem it does it periodically. I never know when its going to do it...i have replaced the wheel hub assembly on the rear 5 times and 2 on the front.. My gas gauge goes crazy or doesn't work at all. My speedometer has quit working and the other gauges work when they feel like it. It seems. I have had people check the vehicle out no one seems to know exactly what is wrong they say the cluster is out because of the gauges i don't have 900.00 to fix it. I am always putting wheel hub assembly on it. That gets very expensive..

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 new and have been re-checked for defect. Still that hasn't fixed the issue.upon problem has actually been occurring for almost two months now.

My 2005 buick rendezvous ---heads were leveled and complete valve job done with new water pump, thermostat, relay belt,bypass hose, upper radiator hose, and complete coolant flush.my car keeps running hot.please help!
We found out that we had a problem with my wife's vehicle. Initially, the vehicle was stationary.i took it to get an oil change and was asked to come into the shop to be shown that the antifreeze was like yogurt in the reservoir. We were told that we needed a coolant flush. This led to being told that we needed a new radiator; bypass hose; and last but not least, head gasketjob amounting to approximately 1600.00. We were told that there was no open recall but yet there was litigation going on regarding dex-cool antifreeze and that it was causing all of the problems that were and are having with this vehicle.
Suv was over heating , got two estamints and thy confirmed it is the head gaskets.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous.while driving 35-65 mph, the engine suddenly shut off and all of the instrument panel lights illuminated.the failure occurred three times.the contact attempted to restart the vehicle.after the first failure, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they reprogrammed the computer.four days later, the failure recurred.the contact called the dealer and they stated that additional work needed to be performed and they would call her.the failure has currently recurred for the third time and the contact is concerned that the vehicle may get rear ended.the failure mileage was 47,000 and current mileage was 48,000.
I took my car to the local gas station about 3 minutes from my house. I went in came back and out and before i was even halfway home my car started to overheat. I hadn't even driven half a mile. The thermostat and the coolant temperature sensor have been replaced and the radiator flushed. There was all sorts of brown gunk in the line but the issue still is not resolved. The heat only works occasionally after this and the car still will run hot and then drop back down to a normal temperature all within 2 minutes. No one is sure of what is going on with it. The cause cannot be found at this point.
I write to report an occurrence of uncontrollable acceleration in a buick rendezvous.i rented the current model year rendezvous from avis at lax airport on 5/14/05.that evening as i was accelerating to get on the freeway, the car accelerated uncontrollably.i immediately took my foot off the gas pedal, and put both feet on the brake, yet the car continued to accelerate.i noticed that even with both feet on the brake and pressing as hard as i could, the speed was increasing.fortunately, at the on-ramp where i got on, the traffic was light, and there was approx a half mile where there was no traffic in my lane.i pulled to the right and was getting ready to turn the key off, since i could not otherwise slow the car down.after a total of 8 ? 10 seconds, the throttle went back to its normal condition ? ie the run away acceleration ceased.i spoke to the return agent at avis who assured me the car would be taken out of service.i write this note to make sure that avis knows what the problem was.i certainly could have caused an accident if there had been other cars near mine.buick rendezvous(had about 4500 miles ? so presumably a 2005)ca license # [xxx] [xxx][xxx][xxx][xxx][xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6)

Update: prior issues were due to bcm failure which that was my assumption based on numerous owner reviews. This part is a major safety issue if fails and buick is aware and won't recall. These should last for the life of the vehicle. Occasionally one will go bad but shouldn't. The fact that many rendezvous models face this issue of failure prematurely shows that it is a defective product! many have almost dies due to this failure. Car shutting off and lights going out while driving down highways/ expressways.

Over the past year i have been contacting buick and delphi about the recall on the fuel system in my 2005 buick rendezvous. I recently slightly passed out and crashed in the car due to being overcome by the intensive raw gas fumes. I recently contacted both again and i was told that there is a recall on certain vehicles but my vehicles vin # is not one identified in the recall. I checked to see if my previous complaint was on file and it was no where to be found. I am making this complaint so before hand so that anyone else with this issue can take it serious and take action right away before they start displaying health related issues like me and my family.
Raw gasoline fumes upon starting the car . Fumes enter the cabin so strong the windows have to be rolled down . No apparent leak. No fuel on garage floor. This begin in =feb 2013 and continues off and on. Some times it feels like it would explode if a ignition source was there. A definite health hazard and gm dealer has not been able to identify the source of the fumes.i see other reports of this problem on the internet. Dealer says no recall and no safety bulletins. 2004 had a recallbut not 2005, it is not safe to driveunless problem is found.
We have had numerous issues with the 2005 buick rendezvous. The biggest issue is the fuel loss. The car is leaking fuel. Peoria kia stated that there was nothing wrong with the vehicle and since we purchased it used it was as is. This is very dangerous and we need to get the fuel and electrical system fixed..we have two children and it is not safe for us. I am glad that i found this recall information but i need help getting the fuel and electrical system fixed.
When i would start my car in the morning, i would get a overwhelming gas smell in my to point of me thinking gas was leaking underneath my and i would get out and check and nothing. I took it to a mechanic and asked him if the car was leaking gas and he said no. I'm constantly adding power steering fluid to my vehicle at least twice a month . And recently my speedometer needle has started sticking and sometimes not working at all. Ironically my gas needle is always fluctuating throughout my car trips. I'm so nervous when i drive because i think i'm about to run out of gas even though i may have recently added gas to the car. This may sound simple but the gas fumes are making me sick and my two kids especially since all of us suffer from asthma. Please provide a resolution or fix for these unhealthy incidents.
Upon starting the vehicle, raw gas fumes enter the cab in such quantities that make it impossible to drive comfortably or seemingly safely. The fume can be so bad that all windows must be opened and heads held outside of the car to breathe fresh air. My husband driving behind me on the freeway can sometimes also smell the raw gasoline odor.i have taken this vehicle to the dealer twice and they are unable to find anything wrong.i fear for health problems from breathing so many gas fumes as i use the vehicle everyday to drive 40 minutes to work and 40 minutes back home.it is now 01/01/2012 and this problem is still existent with so solution apparent.[xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).

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. He told me that the head gasket needed to be replaced, i didn't have more money. He did't let me drive home, he was very worried because the smell of gas was so bad, he said that i should risk my kids and myself, the care can catch on fire.he had the truck towed to my house didn't charge me for it and i haven't moved it since then..ive put so much money in that truck, i kept up with the maintenance like clock work.i was just lucky that we never crashed we got close and we didn't blow up. I don't know weather i should take it in to a gmdealer to have them evaluate the truck to see if it is part of the recall.

Last month we purchased a 2005 buick rendezvous. We noticed that the front end shook when taking off and hittinga small hole in the road. We notified the dealer where we purchased the vehicle, and they checked it out and told us that it was characteristic of that type of vehicle but that a mount was available to fix the problem but it would cost an extra $600.00. We told them no thank youbut what we would like to know is were we being told the truth and if so why wasn't the mount already on the vehicle when it was manufactured .thank you for your time and we are awaiting your answer.
The steering system forthe2005 buick rendezvous cxlwith 16000 miles , bought new from gmc dealershipexhibitedthe following behavior,a knocking sound when moving the steering wheel accompanied by vibrations felt in the steering wheel. The sound was loud enough to be heard by all occupants of vehicle during driving. The dealershipattempted to fix the problemby replacing the driveshafttwice and lubricating the steering mechanism. The knocking sound continuedto this day. The integrity of the steering mechanism wasin doubt due to the vibrations and loud sounds every time the steering wheelwasturned.
I started driving my car and a few blocks away my locks started to lock and unlock constantly and they would not stop. My seat moved on its own (has electric memory seating). The car started to shake like it was going to die. As soon as i came to a stop the car started to shake and would not accelerate. An "error" messages displayed under the non working speedometer where your miles usually show". Came to another stop and tried to turn onto a street and the car would not accelerate and kept "jumping" all the while the locks were still locking and unlocking and my running daytime headlights kept flickering on and off. I'm lucky that the car didn't just quit with oncoming traffic. From what i read, it's the bcm and this causes major problems regarding the safety of the vehicle. Buick is aware and will not make a recall on this defective part. (a part that is supposed to last for the lifetime of the vehicle).. A part that has caused some drivers to lose power and headlights while traveling down highways! i'm taking my car into buick tomorrow for a diagnostic (which i can't afford more problems with a car that cost $40k in 2005 and only has 81k miles on it!!) when they say luxury vehicle. I think buick meant "luxury expense" just to own one!electrical issues shouldn't almost cause an accident or injury!

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 new and have been re-checked for defect. Still that hasn't fixed the issue.upon problem has actually been occurring for almost two months now.
This suv was purchased at the end ofaugust 2016 and once in the car and driving down the road we realized the vehicle power steering was hard to turn and the brakes were going all the way down.we also had a car accident, because it was very hard to turn and once in the parking spacethe brakes went completely out and when trying to stop the suv would not stop and we hit a parked car with the lady in the car on 9/11/2016. Went on line and noticed recalls for power steering and cloth seats on some models for air bags. Spoke with gmc and informed power steering recall and would like suv checked. Called tow truck to take vehicle to gmc. When we got there the service department request we try to purchase a new car instead of getting the vehicle fixed. The next day we were notified the truck was not worth repairing the damages were over 1,000 for power steering and brakes.this car was sold with all these problems and i feel since there was previous defects with this vehicle we should at least be given some type of compensation or a new vehicle.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that when driving various speeds, the vehicle would decelerate independently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the brake caliper, all wheel drive sensor and the brake pads. The failure progressively worsened and the vehicle eventually failed to accelerate intermittently. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer however, the failure was unable to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 124,453.kmj
I was coming to a stop to make a turn and my brake pedal fought back at me and i had to put all my strength to get the car to stop. I finally got it to stop but i'm worried one day it will not stop and i'll get into a wreck. I don't know if this has to do with the brake system or something more severe.
Anti lock brakes kicking in for several months for no reason, then anti lock light and awd disabled light came on. It is happening more frequently. After several hours of research and reading hundreds of complaints, hundreds of people are having the same exact problem. Im in fear my brakes will go out like another rendezvous owner i have read about.
2005 buick rendezvous anti lock light and all wheel drive light on and cant seem to be fixed. What the hell am i supposed to do spend thousands to get it fixed, buy a new car. This seems to be a common problem from what i search online thousands off people have this problem who is buick paying off there?
About 6 weeks ago the brakes started making a sound and slipping down to the floor when applied. The service traction system just came on.,
I own a 2005 buick rendezvous that is having safety issues concerning the awd brake system. Four times over the last 5 years the awd and anti-lock brake system have stopped working. The latest time was today 3/8/11 when the brake system failed again and the i was barely able to stop the car before it entered a busy highway. After researching the internet it seems that numerous other people have encountered the same issues.i have had the problem repaired three other times. The wheel speed sensor and the hub have been replaced and the wiring harness repaired.
Dt*: the contact stated that the vehicle's abs system failed on 07/15/06 resulting in a collision.the vehicle was traveling at 25 mph when traffic forced emergency braking causing the vehicle to nose dive but continued to roll forward.the wheels did not lock up and the abs system did not engage.there was no warning prior to the failure which occurred on dry and flat road conditions.the contact expressed that during the incident it felt as if the hydraulic brakes were not grabbing, and conceived that the vehicle brake failure may be due fading caused by heat.the vehicle is equipped with 4-wheel antilock and 4 wheel disc brakes.the manufacturer was contacted on 07/17/06 who determined that the vehicle needed to be inspected by a technician and could only be scheduled for a later date.the contact performed three brake distance tests at the residence which resulted in three different braking distances.the contact heard one wheel chirp, and felt a pulsation in the pedal during the first test, but no pulsation was felt during the other two.the last test resulted in the vehicle stopping a longer distance than both the first and second tests.
Dt*:the contact stated while driving 35 mph on normal road conditions the lights for the awd and abs systems illuminated.according to the owner's manual when abs illuminates the vehicle should be stopped and towed for assistance.this incident has occurred several times and the dealer advised the contact to drive the vehicle eventhough the manual recommended towing.the contact was not aware of the remedy repair to fix awd and abs illumination problem.
A total and sudden loss of steering occurred as i left the curb and started into the street.although it felt like i had power steering,i had absolutely no control of the front wheels and therefore the car was totally out of control except for the brakes.the car was taken to the buick dealer.the service department described the failure sequence as follows:first the bracket holding the steering rack on the r/h side broke loosethen the mounting bolt on the left side of the rack fell out. I found the bolt in the street and gave it to the service manager.after the bolt holding the left side fell out, there was nothing holding the steering rack in place so there was no possibility of controlling the car.the dealer replaced the rack two or three times during the next week thinking that the replacement racks was defective. However there was still a problem in the power steering.it seemed to bind up when making a turn, only sometimes.finally, the dealer replaced the steering shaft saying that a u-joint in the steering shaft was broken or badly damaged.now it appears that the problem has been solved.i have a photograph showing the rack with the broken mount.it appears that the weld that holds the mounting bracket to the rack, broke loose.my wife is the original owner of the car.the car has never been in an accident.the car has never been used for any type of off-road use.the car has only been driven on city streets and public highways by drivers that are more than 60 years old.the car (and wheels) show no sign of damage.the dealer said there was no recall on this model car and that he had never seen such a failure.because the car is out of warranty, the manufacturer assumes no responsibility for the failures.however, although i did pay to have the steering rack replaced, they did not charge additional for the steering column.

Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re 2005 buick rendezvous defects.the consumer stated a bolt in the steering broke.after she paid to have it fixed, a recall was issued six months later.
Buick 2005 rendezvousconstant loud whining or moaning noise when you turn the wheel regardless of speed. It is embarrassing. No one can figure it out. It has been ongoing for over a year now.
The steering system forthe2005 buick rendezvous cxlwith 16000 miles , bought new from gmc dealershipexhibitedthe following behavior,a knocking sound when moving the steering wheel accompanied by vibrations felt in the steering wheel. The sound was loud enough to be heard by all occupants of vehicle during driving. The dealershipattempted to fix the problemby replacing the driveshafttwice and lubricating the steering mechanism. The knocking sound continuedto this day. The integrity of the steering mechanism wasin doubt due to the vibrations and loud sounds every time the steering wheelwasturned.
I purchased a 2005 buick rendezvous in feb 2006, with around 12,700 miles on it.i also purchased the extended warranty on it (thank god) as i've had several issues go wrong with it.most recently, last friday, i brought my vehicle in for a supposed routine oil change (i purchased the life-time oil changes on this vehicle), so every 3 month's i bring it into the dealer;after i made my appt. On the phone, the very next day, my back window, behind the driver stopped functioning (all power windows);i also had, what i believed to be oil sitting on my garage floor.i had a crankshaft seal replaced in july, so i knew i shouldn't be seeing oil on my floor.by the time i brought it in on friday, i had a list of things i wanted them to know about, especially an awful whining, squealing noise every time i made a corner.so, they decided with all of these things to be done, and checked, they would give me a loaner car and keep my buick.yesterday, 9/21/2010i get a call from the dealer telling me that there is about $7,000 worth of work to be done!!my power steering pump was shot, the electrical needed to be replaced in that window, and the loud, obnoxious noise i was hearing while turning was the differential, gone, shot!my vehicle only has 40,000 miles on it!!i used to have all the faith in buicks;my father used to trust them 100%, as i did, but now?i'm thinking they should stick to just cars!my buick century rocked!i loved it, but these awd suv's seem to be over their heads!
When i would start my car in the morning, i would get a overwhelming gas smell in my to point of me thinking gas was leaking underneath my and i would get out and check and nothing. I took it to a mechanic and asked him if the car was leaking gas and he said no. I'm constantly adding power steering fluid to my vehicle at least twice a month . And recently my speedometer needle has started sticking and sometimes not working at all. Ironically my gas needle is always fluctuating throughout my car trips. I'm so nervous when i drive because i think i'm about to run out of gas even though i may have recently added gas to the car. This may sound simple but the gas fumes are making me sick and my two kids especially since all of us suffer from asthma. Please provide a resolution or fix for these unhealthy incidents.
Every time i turn it sounds like the power steering is going to go out. The steering is fine but the noise is very loud. Alot of research indicated that several other people have the same problem along with the anti lock brakes as i do.
Steering feels like it gets tight and sticks when turning while moving
We have been plagued with a steering wheel column problem for over 18 months. This problem started at 50,000 miles. It made a loud squealing noise when the steering wheel was turned and over the numerous visits to various gmc dealers, we were repeatedly told there was nothing wrong and it was safe to drive.after contacting gmc itself, they sent us to a dealer who at first again said there was nothing wrong.then two hours after being challenged they retested and 'discovered' what they described as wear and tear.we were charged $1,250 and given a 1 year warranty. They denied this was a recalled component.i still do not trust the results nor this car, but i cannot afford getting another car.
2005 buick rendezvous rolled from park with keys out of the ignition injuring consumers wife. The consumer had other problems with the vehicle such as the power steering becoming hard . The dealer replaced the pump and the power steering rack. The abs, and brake light illuminated, then the awd disable light came on. The gas gauge fluctuated as well.the vehicle pulled to the left. The dealer readjusted the camber, caster and rear tow.
The contact owns a 2005 buick rendezvous. The power steering constantly made a clicking sound whenever the steering wheel was turned. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who repaired the vehicle for $400 approximately eight months ago. The failure recurred and the vehicle was return to the mechanic who told her that they could grease the parts again but it would not last much longer. She would have to replace the parts again. The dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.

Dt*:the contact statedwhile turning the steering wheel in either direction at various speeds there was a loud whining noise.the vehicle was seen by the dealer on three separate occasions.once the dealer replaced the steering column however the problem persisted.
The buick was my previous vehicle and it would just stall while i was driving.it only happened a few times, but was almost the result of an accident two times.i did have it looked at and the dealership tested it several times, but never found a cause. I don't know if you need to know this information, but i thought i would share in light what has been going on and i was surprised the rendezvous wasn'tlisted as one of the vehicles with a problem.i know the dealership information, but i'm not sure how long they keep their records.the date i entered above is inaccurate. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
When turning into my driveway the engine shuts off losing all steering.this has happened several times in the past (since 2009) usually when turning right from a stop sign or turning right into my driveway.

I recently purchased a 2005 buick rendezvous cxl.as i was exiting the driver side door, the inner door handle gave me a fairly deep paper- like cut.there seems to be a rough edge on the handle that almost looks like the metal coating is peeling or separating and it sliced my middle finger on my left hand.i'm not very impressed and i am wondering how often this is going to happen? i think this should be a definite recall.it is not a life threatening injury, but very concerning considering i have 3 children and it could've been one of them that received the injury instead of me.

Wheel bearings on a 3 year old vehicle failed on the right side. After a $300+ repair bill, now the left side has the same problem. A pretty new vehicle is dangerous to drive.

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
All wheel drive disabled warning and abs light came on.also loss of power while going up hill.internet states problem is probably caused by wheel bearings.2002 to 2004 are covered with extended warranty.2005 is not.
It feels like the transmission is going out but only sometimes. On occasion it will be driving fine then i go to pull off from a stop and it just wont really go like maybe skips1st gear or at least part of it. It's crazy and dangerous. I do not believe it to be the transmission. Only happens from complete stop, sometimes. Buick rendezvous 05
Buick 2005 rendezvousconstant loud whining or moaning noise when you turn the wheel regardless of speed. It is embarrassing. No one can figure it out. It has been ongoing for over a year now.
While slowing down or at stop lights, car will just stall. So far it has restarted every time. Mechanic can not find any problems. Frustrated and afraid to drive far from home. I have also replaced right side wheel bearings at 42,000 miles.
I purchased a new 2005 buick rendezvous cxl and have had to replace the front left bearing and hub assembly in july 2008, then in april 2009 the right front control arm bushing separated and the dealer replaced the hub assembly again, then in sept.2010 the bushings and front control arm on the front left side needed to be replaced again. I also had to have the throttle body replaced because of acceleration problems. So far no one has been hurt or any accidents, but how long and how many bearings and bushings and assemblies do i need to replace before a recall is issued?
I had to have both front wheel bearings replaced at 43,000 miles.i did extensive research and have found this to be a common problem with this vehicle.it seems unreasonable to have to spend almost $800 to replace bearings which should last at least 100,000 miles.
Both front wheel bearings had to be replaced with only 52,000 miles on the vehicle. This component failure was extremely premature and indicates a defect in the wheel bearings. Another compliant to nhtsa listed the same problem on a vehicle with only 43,000 miles.
Front wheel bearings on 2004-2005 buick rendezvous fail at 50-60,000 miles.this is a common repair item if you talk with auto repair shops and dealers.one local repair shop repaired 6 vehicles the same week - all with front wheel bearing failure.

Have had to replace head caskets two times since i bought this now having problems with gas smell when i turn on heater whats next its got about 51000 miles on it
We found out that we had a problem with my wife's vehicle. Initially, the vehicle was stationary.i took it to get an oil change and was asked to come into the shop to be shown that the antifreeze was like yogurt in the reservoir. We were told that we needed a coolant flush. This led to being told that we needed a new radiator; bypass hose; and last but not least, head gasketjob amounting to approximately 1600.00. We were told that there was no open recall but yet there was litigation going on regarding dex-cool antifreeze and that it was causing all of the problems that were and are having with this vehicle.
Speed gauge does not work properly car runs boiling hot while temp gauge says it's cool, fuel guage goes out like i'm dumping fuel on the interstate at high speed,car shuts off, so dangerous, you never know when it will happen.

My wife was driving down the interstate at 70 mile per hour when the accelerator pedal jammed itself down speeding up the car. When she noticed that this had happened she hit the brakes and nothing happened. The brakes seemed as though they were not working. Not knowing what else to try she then attempted to engage the emergency brake. It did not engage, it kept going down then just coming right back up. Still not knowing what to do she shifted down to low gears slowing her down. Still out of control she hit a ditch which shut down the engine finally bringing the car to a stop. I just thought that this should be brought to the attention of someone. She luckily was not injured but could have been though.
Stepper motors in the instrument cluster failing. One gauge goes bad they all do.cannot determine how much gas i have or how fast i am going cause all needles point down or stop at 70. I can be at a red light , completely stopped and it says i am going 110 mph. I have a 4 year old, a 5 year old, and a 5 month old in the back of the car. Its pretty scary for them as well. I have seen this is a common problem with gm made cars from 2000-2005. Wouldn't you think they would fix this by now? not happy with this car at all.

The car stopped automatically at a stop light on a major hwy. I thought quickly and put it in neutral thank you jesus it started. I could have been rear ended. That is a major problem it does it periodically. I never know when its going to do it...i have replaced the wheel hub assembly on the rear 5 times and 2 on the front.. My gas gauge goes crazy or doesn't work at all. My speedometer has quit working and the other gauges work when they feel like it. It seems. I have had people check the vehicle out no one seems to know exactly what is wrong they say the cluster is out because of the gauges i don't have 900.00 to fix it. I am always putting wheel hub assembly on it. That gets very expensive..
My speedometer has stopped working.mostly is reads 120 mph when i am setting still.because it fluctuates from moving or not moving.but never correctly.i have been reduced to relying solely on a gps speedometer.

While traveling from utah to iowa on interstate 80 with the cruise control set at roadway speed. After some time the speedometer kept climbing while the speed of the vehicle decreased. After stopping at a rest area the speedometer never moved. It was just stuck at approximately 112 mph. Luckily we were given a gps with speedometer built in as a gift. Leaving the rest stop, we continued our journey, and by the time we made it to iowa the speedometer gauge was facing straight down whether we were stopped or driving road speeds. We did not take it to a dealership immediately because we have three small children and after sitting in the car that long, we could not justify sitting at a dealership for hours on end. Around five days after arriving in iowa, the speedometer started working again. This greatly confused me, because when something breaks on a vehicle, it tends to stay broken. On our travels back to utah the samething happened to the speedometer, so as soon as we arrived in utah, i dropped my spouse and children off at home, and took it to the dealership. I explained the problem and my situation and they came to the conclusion of a loose or broken connection deep behind the dash. Here is the "kicker", according to them there was no recall for this said problem and that it would cost $600 to fix. As i am not the original owner of the vehicle it was purchased as is from a dealership in iowa. I unfortunately do not have $600 to spend to repair the vehicle. We now have 86,365 miles on a vehicle that the speedometer no longer works. I cannot see how it is not a safety recall, but i am not in big business. So i feel i am taking the appropriate steps to fix the problem for not only myself, but all the others' comments that i have read.

Dt*:the contact stated the exterior rearview mirrors are too big and cause a blind spot.the dealership determined this is how the vehicle was manufactured.the outside rearview mirrors are way too big and located in an area that blocks views. The contact had to lift herself of the seat to look over top of the rearview window.
