2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS Electrical System Problems

Upon arriving at my destination and after i put my in park i was UNABLE to turn my engine off because the ignition was stuck in that position. I ultimately had no choice but to unhook the battery cables along with disconnecting the alternator to get my engine to turn off. Prior to this incident occasionally upon starting my car the ignition would not disengage immediately upon the engine turning over which ultimately resulted in having to replace the starter on this vehicle. I am a single parent and only have one vehicle so this is a major issue for my family. Furthermore the fan speed control knob doesnt work properly because when it is put in position 3 it shuts the fan motor off completely. So there CLEAR to me that there seems to be a MAJOR electrical issue. The suspension on this vehicle is horrendous. I cannot go above 45mph without by car wanting to go into on-coming traffic or off of the road or trying to flip over on its side because the shocks/struts on the passenger side are not working properly. I have not used this vehicle for any other purpose then to transport myself and children to and from work/school/appointments. Everyone i spoke to about this particular vehicle has said that these vehicles were manufactured poorly and repairs come at a high cost.

I CAN BE ON THE STREET DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE JUST STALLS OUT AND I HAVE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND PULLING THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO RESTART IT THAT'S THE FIRST ISSUE THE SECOND ONE IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF AND MY TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT STAYS ON HAD IT LOOKED AT IT WAS FINE SYSTEM LIGHT REMAINS ON.

NO ACCELERATION,WHEN I GO UP A HILL NO ACCELERATION, OR WHEN I GO TO GET ON THE HIGHWAY NO ACCELERATION, AND VERY DANGEROUS. I WENT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND I REPLACED FUEL TANK PRESSURE SENSOR AND VENT SOLENOID, NO ACCELERATION. I WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSTIC. THEY RECOMMENDED THAT I REPLACE 3 ELECTRICAL HARNESSES AND CONNECTORS $1350 DOLLARS PARTS AND LABOR TOO MUCH FOR ME AND THAT MAY NOT SOLVE MY PROBLEM. I TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM WAS CORROSION IN THE CONNECTORS TO THE FUEL PUMP $160 DOLLARS LATER THEY AGREED WITH ME. STILL DANGEROUS.

DASH GAUGES, WARNING LIGHTS, & ALARMS, BELLS FLASH ON & OFF AND VEHICLE SUDDENLY RUNS ROUGH. DASH CODES OF ALL SORTS BLINK ON & OFF. NEW BATTERY AND NEW ALTENATOR INSTALLED, PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. THIS HAPPENED FIRST WHEN DRIVING ON HIWAY. AFTER VEHICLE PULLED OFF ROAD AND ENGINE TURNED OFF. THE DASH CODE THEN READ BATTERY ISSUE. WE TRIED TO DRIVE AGAIN BUT NOW VEHICLE OPERATED ROUGHLY AND THERE WAS NO MORE DAYLIGHT. WE HAD VEHICLE TOWED 100 MILES. THEN PAID FOR NEW BATTERY PROBLEM DID NOT CHANGE SO WE HAD A NEW ALTENATOR INSTALLED AFTER HAVING A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ADVISING THE NEED FOR A NEW ALTENATOR. I AM QUITE UPSET BECAUS EI FEEL THAT THERE IS FRAUD ON PART OF SEARS AUTOREPAIR. DIAGNOSTIC SAID ALTENATOR WAS THE PROBLEM. I PAID OVER $450 FOR THAT SERVICE AND ANOTHER $150 FOR THE BATTERY.

MULTIPLE TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED RANDOMLY WHILE BEING DRIVEN. THIS HAS HAPPENED SO MANY TIMES I'VE LOST COUNT (AT LEAST 20). THIS HAPPENS AT VARIOUS SPEEDS (FROM 0 MPH TO 70 MPH). THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHUTS DOWN WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLS CAUSING THE STEERING AND BRAKES TO BE LESS EFFECTIVE. THIS COULD EASILY RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO 2 DIFFERENT BUICK DEALERS FOR DIAGNOSTIC AND REPAIR. THE DEALERSHIPS HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE IGNITION RELAY HAVE BOTH BEEN REPLACED AND ALL THE ELECTRICAL CONTACTS HAVE BEEN CLEANED AND CHECKED. THESE REPAIRS HAVE NOT FIXED THE VEHICLE. I'VE CALLED BUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING FURTHER WITHOUT ADDITIONAL CHARGE TO THE OWNER. THE OWNER WILL NOT BE MAKING FURTHER REPAIRS. *TR

I BOUGHT MY RENDEZVOUS ON 9/2/14 WITH 193,960 MILES ON IT. ON THE WAY HOME FROM THE DEALERSHIP, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER STARTED ACTING UP. ALL OF THE READINGS OF GAUGES ARE ACCURATE, HOWEVER MOST OF THE LIGHTS ON THE CLUSTER DO NOT WORK. THE TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. DON'T WORK, HOWEVER THE LIGHTS ON THE SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, AND AS OF RECENTLY THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE WORK. THE RENDEZVOUS HAS EXPERIENCED NO OTHER ISSUES. I HAVEN'T CONTACTED GM BECAUSE I ASSUMED I'D GET SHRUGGED OFF DUE TO THE AGE AND MILEAGE OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE SPEEDOMETER STOPS WORKING CORRECTLY. WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SPEEDOMETER WILL READ ANYWHERE BETWEEN BELOW 0 MPH AND 30 MPH. IT HAPPENS REGARDLESS OF THE WEATHER. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES THAT THE SPEEDOMETER IS WORKING CORRECTLY, (CONFIRMED BY CALCULATIONS USING TIME, MILE MARKERS & ODOMETER READINGS,) AND AT ANY POINT DURING TRAVEL IT WILL STOP AND THE NEEDLE IS OBSERVED TO GRADUALLY DROP BELOW THE 0 MPH MARK. SOMETIMES RESTARTING, WHETHER BY TURNING OFF THE IGNITION OR USING THE AUTOSTART TO REMOVE THE KEY WHILE LEAVING THE VEHICLE RUNNING, WILL TEMPORARILY CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WAS NOTED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AT THE END OF SEPTEMBER WHILE ADDRESSING POTENTIAL TRANSMISSION ISSUES. (WHICH ALSO HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO FIND A CAUSE TO "HARD SHIFT" PROBLEM THAT BEGAN SEVERAL MONTHS AGO.) THE CURRENTLY MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE IS APPROXIMATELY 81,200 MILES. IT IS BEING TAKEN TO A MECHANIC THIS WEEK TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE. *TR

LOOKED DOWN TO CHECK MY SPEED AND IT REGISTERED 30 MPH. I KNOW I WAS GOING FASTER THAN THAT AS I WAS DRIVING ON A 55 MPH HIGHWAY. FROM THAT TIME IT VARIED CONSIDERABLY, AT TIMES SHOWING 0 MPH WHEN GOING DOWN THE ROAD. TODAY IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING AGAIN. IN RESEARCHING I'VE DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM BUT IF YOUR VEHICLE HAS MORE THAN 70,000 MILES IT WAS NOT COVERED IN A RECALL FOR THE PROBLEM. ALSO WHEN SEARCHING FOR RECALLS ON THIS YEAR AND MODEL IT SHOWS SEVERAL BUT I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFIED OF ANY RECALLS. *JS

I HAD A TRANSMISSION REPAIR AT AN AMMCO TRANSMISSION OUTLET. AS A RESULT OF THE REPAIR MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT WORKING THE FIRST DAY THE CAR WAS DECLARED REPAIRED. I LEFT THE CAR WITH THE REPAIRER WHO TOLD ME A SECOND TRANSMISSION WOULD BE INSTALLED. I WAS TOLD APPROXIMATELY TEN DAYS LATER MY CAR WAS REPAIRED. WHEN THE CAR WAS PICKED UP A SECOND THE TIME THE PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED TO TIME FOR THE COMPUTER TO RESET ITSELF. THAT NEVER HAPPENED SINCE I FOUND OUT LATER THAT THE COMPUTER WAS IN DEFAULT MODE AND WAS NOT COMMUNICATING WITH THE TRANSMISSION. AAMCO PRETENDED TO TELL ME MY CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE THROUGHOUT THIS ORDEAL. THE SAME NIGHT I RECEIVED THE CAR BACK MY EXTERIOR LIGHTS WENT WHEN MY CAR GLITCHED AGAIN. I ALMOST HIT THE SIDE OF THE MOUNTAIN BECAUSE THERE WAS TOTAL DARKNESS. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT THERE IS NO OVERSIGHT OF SECONDARY REPAIR SHOPS. I HAVE TRIED HARD. NO ONE SHOULD GO THROUGH WHAT I HAVE BEEN THROUGH. THIS MECHANICS USED MANY EXCUSES BUT IN THE END IT WAS A PINCHED (BEST WORD I CAN UTILIZED) WIRE THAT CAUSED THE PROBLEM. AFTER BEING TURNED DOWN BY FOUR LOCAL MECHANICS THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER. NO ONE WAS WANTS TO STEP FORWARD TO EXPLAIN MY PROBLEM. HOWEVER I HAVE DOCUMENTS TO SHOW THAT MY ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS WORKING FINE PRIOR TO THIS REPAIR. THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE IN PA HAS LIMITED AUTHORITY ON THIS ISSUE AND CANNOT HELP ME.

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED AFTER THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS SERVICED.

NEEDLESS TO SAY SINCE I WAS A GM EMPLOYEE THEY DID A COLLATERAL TRADE SINCE I REFUSED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE SAFETY ISSUE.

PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ON 7/15/04, 3 DAYS LATER UPON STARTUP THE SECURITY LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD CAME ON AND STAYED ON UNTIL THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED.

DURING THIS TIME HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE RADIO NOT HOLDING PRESETS, ALSO UPON STARTUP THE RADIO WOULD RANDOMLY PICK A STATION THAT WAS NOT PRESET.
