2003 Buick Rendezvous visibility complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 22 of 22, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Every since I purchases this car it has a defect with the windows they come off track and parts falls down inside the window panels. It wont allow you to roll the window neither up nor down. In some cases the window has fallen and had to be replace, this is a manufacturer defect.
Driver's window "fell" and had to be closed manually; it will not stay in place.
I have had so many problems with my rendezvous I feel like the dealership has had my car more than I have. For starters, the front and rear hub failed four times, with the fourth one still needing to be repaired and gm refusing to address the problem because of the number of miles on the car, the check engine light stays on intermittently, the rear wiper stays on and I had to remove the fuse, I have replaced the tires three times with no explaination on the uneven excessive wear, the power steering pump makes loud whining noise and leaks power steering fluid with no explaination, windshield wipers catch on each other and I have on numerous occassions had to stop the car, get out and untangle them, however, the dealer cannot duplicate the problem, the rear air compressor still does not work after being repaired twice, fuses blow for no reason.
Front and rear windows fail to properly move or up down. One window falls while driving. Issue is identified as broken window regulators. Problem apparently widespread as parts are hard to find (out of stock). Unable to leave vehicle in public areas as you can't keep the windows closed.
My windshield wipers locked at the tips during a downpour on the freeway. This happened previously while under warranty 10 months ago, a part was repaired and now it happened again. This will kill someone less fortunate or me the next time. It is in the shop being repaired again.
Transmission failure- replaced 12/04, wheel hub bearing failure-replaced 06/05, heating/AC problems since new 09/03, brake problems since new, window regulators replaced 2x's, hatch latch failure-multiple, parking brake failure 07/04-present, overheating 07/04-present
Dt: consumer states that during the middle of a storm windshield wipers stopped. They remained in the middle of the windshield. She took vehicle to a service dealer ,and they stated that because windshield wipers were made out of aluminum they rusted. Then, dealer told her that it would be approximately $600 to repair and lubricate them. She was told that it needed to be done every few weeks.
When set to heat on vent, heat does not flow like it does when it is blowing cold air. When the heater is put in bi-level position it becomes extremely loud and sounds like the air cant get out when put in heat setting. When it is extremely cold the car does not heat properly. Have had this problem looked at 3 separate times, 1st incident told that this was normal, second said they "fixed" it after a meltdown (smelled plastic burning) in the heater controls, now saying there was a tsb related to this problem that they were not aware of and will follow it accordingly. If not, we are seeking help via lemon laws.
While using windshield wipers on high control consumer noticed wipers moving slowly and causing poor visibility. Dealership serviced vehicle.
I am not happy with the heater in my 2003 rendezvous. I have been to my dealer, talked tobuick and also a field rep.(david brie?) I am not happy with answers I have been given. I am not the only one that feels there is a problem. When the heater is put in bi-level position it becomes extremely loud and sounds like the air cant get out when put in heat setting. When put to cold setting the air flows freely. All my other past vehicles never had this problem and when it is extremely cold the car does not heat properly.
The side view mirrors were grossly oversized and made the vision obscure at the intersection. The driver was unable to view vehicles traveling in either direction. The consumer almost had several accidents due to the problem. The consumer turned his body in order to make right/left turns at intersections. The mirror was very close to the side window. *ak *scc
