“It feels like the transmission is going out but only sometimes. On occasion it will be driving fine then I go to pull off from a stop and it just wont really go like maybe skips 1st gear or at least part of it. It's crazy and dangerous. I do not believe it to be the transmission. Only happens from complete stop, sometimes. Buick Rendezvous 05”

“I had to have both front wheel bearings replaced at 43,000 miles. I did extensive research and have found this to be a common problem with this vehicle. It seems unreasonable to have to spend almost $800 to replace bearings which should last at least 100,000 miles.”

NHTSA complaint #10131026, filed 2005-08, 42,850 miles

“I purchased a new 2005 Buick Rendezvous cxl and have had to replace the front left bearing and hub assembly in july 2008, then in april 2009 the right front control arm bushing separated and the dealer replaced the hub assembly again, then in sept.2010 the bushings and front control arm on the front left side needed to be replaced again. I also had to have the throttle body replaced because of acceleration problems. So far no one has been hurt or any accidents, but how long and how many bearings and bushings and assemblies do I need to replace before a recall is issued?”
