Ever since we bought the Buick Rendezvous its been a real pain. The gas gauge has never worked properly. I never know how much gas is in my car. One minute it says i have a half tank. The next it says I'm on E. I was hoping there was a recall on this car.

I have heard and read that this is a very common problem on this vehicle, dealer told me. Should have a recall but there is none.

Just like all the other people have complained about it gets down below 1/4 tank and it reads empty, then jumps back up to 1/4. they want 109.00 to fix the sensor.

Rendezvous

  • Automatic transmission
  • 51,000 miles

I purchased my 2006 rendezvous on May 28, 2010, milage was 50,944. About a week later I notice my gas gage was not reading correctly. I took pictures every time it would read different. I took my suv and pictures to the dealership on several occasions. A day or two later they call me and tell me it's fixed. This has happened 5 time so far and the erratic gas gage reading is still happening. Last week it read a little less then 1/4 a tank, I decided to get gas, Luckily I did... I was really on empty... The suv took 16 gallons of gas. I called the dealer and they said bring it back...I am soooo tired of this problem. You would think after 5 times it would be fixed. I am planing to go across country in Nov., I am so scared I am going to run out of gas...

Rendezvous V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 41,000 miles

I've taken my car in to the dealer 4 times for the same problem with no solution in sight. The fuel gauge gives erratic readings after emptying below 1/2 tank. They have replaced the sensor, the sending unit and reprogrammed the computer. Now, they are replacing the wiring harness to the dash. I have seen this problem on other Buick's online and hope that this information helps those of you who may not be covered under warranty.
