2002 Buick Rendezvous Steering Problems

“Steering wheel fluid was emptying out rapidly, it was replaced. Start drving on the highway the car steerinf froze I could not steer it. Made it off the road mechanic put it on the lift he told me that the rack and pion was gone on both sides which is very dangerous and very expensive job. I heard nothing about a recall.”

“My Buick renedezous' power steering gear went out at 4500miles and there is still a squeaking noise when I turn the steering wheel. Now the car has 43000 and the condenser has to be repaired for $1000.00. I thought I bought a great vehicle but I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. Oh, the buttons on the steering wheel (volume knobs) have been replaced twice.”

“Body control module went out. Had to find the answer on google so the dealer could fix it (headlights and dash controls went on and off while driving at night) $650 front seat inop dealer still does not know what's wrong $? Gas gauge inop dealer still does not know what's wrong $? Catalytic converter went out this month also cost $850 water pump $25 o2 sensor bank 1 and 2 - $145 mass air flow sensor- $104 fuel filter- $11 steering rack and pinion- $195 total $1980 all these things happened in one month. I hate the Buick Rendezvous. Getting rid of as soon as I can.”

“At a slow turning speed the brakes give out and you have to re-pump the brakes for the brakes to work again . Also when you make a turn it sounds like somthing is straining ( sounds like a bunch of dying cows are under the hood of the car ) had the car in twice and was told I am turning the car to hard and there is nothing wrong with the brakes ! I have almost had two accidents because of the brakes and the moaning under the hood of the car is getting worse .this has been going on since they end of april 2005.”

“I have had nothing but trouble with this vehicle. I took it into the dealer the other day to have the front wheel bearing replace (paid for by GM) and in the process, the mechanic found another serious problem. I had been hearing a banging noise coming from the rear end for a few months now. I jacked the rear end of the car up and couldn't find the source of the noise. I was told by the mechanic that it is the right rear knuckle that was making the noise. When they got it on the rack, they found that the tire is moving front to back about 2 inches. …”
