Rendezvous CS

  • Automatic transmission
  • 35,000 miles

The dealership stated it was attached to the front left wheel. Had something to do with the transmission, plus I had problems with the gas pedal, and transmission slipping. They took the tire off and said they fixed it. However everything still kept doing the same. I took it to a transmission shop. They told me that the problem was inside the transmission and they couldn't find where any repairs had been done.

$350 dollars later everything ran better, no smells of fuel, steering was fixed. But, now the vehicle jerks or slips when starting to move forward. Another problem I have had are the lighters and charging stations do not work. New fuses don't fit he problems. Additionally, I had to change a fuse because the vehicle failed to start without replacing the fuses.

I love Buicks but being a senior citizen and a 100% Disabled Veteran I would have difficulty purchasing another Buick SUV. I still need to have recalls fixed. What can you do for me?

Rendezvous V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 160,641 miles

I have had a complaint on this car since I brought it this year. The person or dealership that I brought it from claims that it is no problem and that it should not break down it is fine he said, it is normal. My car also jerks going into the gears. I am a female and I know that some men think that women do not know anything and we are dummies, but I know that this is not something that should not be happening. I have gone back to them a lot and they make me feel like I am getting on their nerves. I need to know what to do about these problems or who to go to. I love my car and I want these problems solved!!!
