The window regulator broke and caused the window to drop into the door panel. The regulator, window clips and window regulator motor had to be replaced. Buick refused to honor the warranty on these parts. As a result, I paid $200 for the repair.

2002 Buick Rendezvous, - sold by GM S "GM certified".. only must have been a joke. From the onset, solenoid difficulties created dangerous situation on highway, called them and spoke rather bluntly... that was after many, many calls. Wipers didn't work in the rain... would stick.. very dangerous while driving. Intake manifold gasket - cost one thousand dollars.. fuel gauge does not work. Car does not run.. get stuck for the past two months, at least three times per week. Paid four hundred dollars to replace "things".. still gets stuck.. now car won't start. Sometimes, windows don't work, car won't lock or unlock, car won't start. At this point, car is dead. BCM? who knows. Disaster car. It's a gift from god that we're not dead.

I am having electrical problems with my 2002 Buick Rendezvous. First, the power door locks, windows, air conditioner, radio and remote keys entry would lock. Then yesterday the vehicle lost all power while I was driving in traffic. Somehow I managed to turn a corner (without power steering) and park the vehicle. After waiting a while and removing and replacing the connection from the battery to the fuse box under the hood, I was able to get it restarted and return to work. When I tried to leave work, it died in the driveway. Again I was able to reset everything after several tries and park the vehicle. I am afraid to drive it. I also have problems with squeaky brakes, which have been bad since I purchased the vehicle but the dealer and an independent garage cannot find a cause. I also am starting to have problems with the coolant level going down with no visible leak.

: the contact stated upon purchasing the vehicle, the instrument panel gauges were inoperable. Also, the front driver side window would not operate up or down, and the exterior brake light located above the rear window did not illuminate. The service dealer or manufacturer were not contacted. The vehicle was not repaired. The consumer also stated the brakes were defective. Once the vehicle is driven for a while, the brakes began to make noise. Updated 12/01/06.

The contact stated the driver's side window would not roll up. She took the vehicle to a dealer, and they repaired the window. The same problem happened on the rear passenger window. There have been no repairs done on the rear window due to the expense. Updated 12/07/05.
