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?
2005 Buick Rendezvous acceleration complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
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.
