My security light came on and the headlights, radio, door locks, began to click off & on repeatedly. I pulled over and turned the car off, and it went away for a while then returned. It has since done it periodically and is now stuck in he security locked mode.

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!

The headlights, dashboard instrument cluster, and radio, cd player, interior lights, and tail lights on my 2002 buick, rendezvous kept going out for no apparent reason while driving on the freeway. I took the car to the shop and they said it is the body control module. It is my opinion that this malfunction is a very serious problem. In my situation the several times that the lights went out, I was in a dangerous place (on curvey highway between pennsylvania and ohio at speeds between 55-70mph) the situation when the headlights and dash lights were out could have had fatal consequences especially when tall hills surround curvey freeways and roads and such as a deer crossing the road or worse yet, a person on the side of the road. The problem is still occurring and the bcm keeps malfunctioning every few minutes turning off all lights and dashboard clusters and it costs too much for me to fix-almost $1400.

Just purchased a 2002 buick rendezvous 4 months ago and have had nothing but issues with this car, it left me stranded and started up by a jump start. I got the battery, alternator, and starter checked all reported fine. Car ran fine for about 2 months then it did it again. The headlights will flicker at night sometimes at a rhythm. The interior lights decided when they will and will not work. Mainly the seat heater buttons. Replaced battery yesterday and while driving to richmond va all interior/exterior lights flashed on and off with the battery light showing in the dash. After a few minutes everything went back to normal. These cheaply made vehicles will cause a serious accident if not deaths if these companies don't stand behind what they put out to it's public. Considering that I owe 5000.00 for it I will not put alot into it to keep it running. This company needs to fix their vehicles the way they were advertised.

Tl*the contact owns a 2006 buick rendezvous. While driving between 25 to 35 MPH the vehicle would stall and become very difficult to restart. The dealer offered to inspect the vehicle but she declined and stated that they would improperly inspect the vehicle. She suspects that rain enters inside of the headlights, tail lights, and the cabin. The failure mileage was 90,000. The current mileage was 103,000. Updated 11/12/09 *cn the consumer stated she also has a water problem with the vehicle. Water continues to enter the vehicle through the floorboard. The seats failed and the AC was not cooling properly which was part of the problem with the electrical system. The consumer stated the problem were due to water become trapped inside the headlamps and rear assembly receptacles. Updated 11/17/09
