I See there are 8 complaints about the hub on the Rendezvous. I think there should be a recall on the Buick Rendezvous. Now the problem will cost me 380.00 to have this fixed on 8/23/2014. The noise sounds like a the vehicle is growling.

I have changed the hub bearing assemblies on my wifes car three times now once the dealer did it at 48,000 then they would cover the part but wouldn't pay the labor so at 98,000 I replaced both sides, Replaced them again at 140,000. Now the bearing assymblies are giving me a traction control code again @156,000. What the hell????
Now along with these in the last 10,000 I have changed thermostats, head gaskets,. this thing has been nothing but a bite since day one. I will never buy another Buick....

I bought my 2005 buick in May of 2009, in June 2010 front right wheel bearing went out so repaired it. July 2011 front right wheel bearing went out again, again repaired it. July 2012 front right wheel bearing is out again. Will repair it again. Buick does not have a recall on this but they should.

Car was purchased used. Wheel bearings replaced on both sides and the driver side again 1 month later. NEVER American again! I own the company now and don't trust 'em.

I have already replaced the passenger side wheel and hub, now I have to replace the driver side as well as the failed rear diff actuator. I was told this is going to cost me another $1511.17 plus tax. There should be a recall on this.
