The vehicle experienced total electrical failure and would not start. The car radio, door locks, and instrument panel would repeatedly light up and turn off even with the key out of the ignition. The body control module had to be replaced. Buick refused to honor the warranty on this part. As a result, I paid $575 for the repair.

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.

When hot outside 80+. The lights go out, the dash keeps flashing on/off, the security system locks up, the AC stops working\, the radio stops working, the door locks stop working etc etc etc. We have taken it in to my mech and he can't find problem. We are taking it back to the dealer and make him search for the problem. I am reading that it is the bcm on these cars.

I have been seriously frustrated with my vehicle. I have taken to mechanics where I paid to have it placed on the diagnostic machine and I have had every fuse checked numerous times. Not once but many times over the past year. My 2004 buick rendezvous' gas gauge and speedometer work when they want to. Most of the time not at all. The speedometer will read over 100 MPH. The gas gauge does not work. I took it to another mechanic today to be told it must be in the board. I have been told it has something to do with a ground wire. I don't know but for the money I spent on this car it should work. I am worried about safety. I have had problems with it stalling also. One window will not roll up and down by the button on the door (only by the driver's button). One door won't open from the inside. And the back windshield wiper does not touch the window. This also has been looked at since 2 weeks after I purchased the vehicle. I just found out about gm' recalls etc today and am hoping something will finally get done cause I love my SUV.
