Problems with 2002 Buick Rendezvous ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

My vehicle did not have heat. i was not able to determine if it was blowing cold air or not blowing at all. before i had a chance to address the heating issue, the vehicle ran hot and continued to run hot until a mechanic replaced the thermostat and the coolant and cu at 2/3 slit in the rubber under the hood. it came to my attention that the vehicle had overheating problems before it was sold to me. i have since tried to sell it and found th st it was not accepted by two car buying/selling websites due to previous salvage. i purchased from a buy-here pay- here. it still has over heating issues and it still has not heat blowing inside. i want to know if repairs will help since it's regarded as a salvage. is it lawful to sell a salvaged vehicle knowing the purchaser was putting the car on the road? i bought the car in ohio and i live in new york.

When driving the buick rendezvous 2002 home the brakes began to not respond. after arriving home and driving down our driveway, the suv had smoke coming out of the engine. the buick rendezvous was turned off but continued to expelled large amounts of smoke under the engine area. within 5 minutes the engine area caught on fire. the bozrah fire department was called and by the time they arrived within 15 minutes or so the entire vehicle was on fire.

Had battery replaced during routine maintenance. after two days the car would not start battery was dead. after the 3rd battery we took the cat to the dealer. thet checked everything said it was the battery again!!! so we had it replaced at that time. we also had them fix the abs for the 3rd time in 5 years. the car was at home two days later would not start! had it checked this time it was a module and then the dash cluster wnet out while they were fixing the car. still same problems took the car out again this time after gm called us. they kept the car for three weeks, said it was a short in the stereo. now 1 week later car is dead again!!!!! *tt

Body control module. i have seen numerous complaints on websites this needs to be recalled. *tr

5 minutes after being on the highway at 70 miles per hour the vehicle started dropping speed and message center started showing low battery, lights problem, service engine soon, brake fluid low, windshield wiper fluid low, low tire pressure, security service. also, when i come to a stop the engine shuts off by itself as a low power, few minutes later, starts back up and can keep driving but hitting the gas pedal and releasing it after a few seconds at a time to recharge the battery so it would not shut off again. also, after this happened the emergency lights began to come on and off by themselves. took to a mechanic to have it serviced they said to replace the battery and alternator and if problems continued the starter. few months later after replacing these parts, it started giving me problems with low fan as if the relays were bad but they are in good condition, low battery fuel and had to be changed again because the battery was not retaining charge. the vehicle still has all the messages in the message center, they never went away. then within the last month i wanted to have the radio replaced, but i found out the speakers have power coming straight from the battery to the radio that causes it to overheat and makes static when the radio is on while driving. also, the neutral safety switch for the ignition key got burned so now it is not working but still has allowed for the car to turn on and off and dry. a week ago, 04/28/14 the vehicle has been showing an error message in the message center, every light possible in the message center about the services that need to be done come on, which i assume now is the body control module that has gone bad. most frequent message is security. gas gauge goes up and down and never gives an accurate reading of how much is in the vehicle. *tr

Valet person was parking my rendezvous in dec 2012 and said as he applied the brakes to stop he noticed flames coming from hood. 2,000 in damages. my biggest complaintis that i have had to replace the head gaskets twice in the past six years. i keep being told there should have been a recall because gm has been aware of this problem. i cannot afford to purchase a new car now with all the repairs ive put into this, and its probably not worth much. we have always bought gm vehicles but we may think long and hard because once their off the lot it seems no one cares and no one wants to back up their product.

The headlights, dashboard instrument cluster, and radio, cd player, interior lights, and tail lights on my 2002 buick, rendezvous kept going out for no apparent reason while driving on the freeway. i took the car to the shop and they said it is the body control module. it is my opinion that this malfunction is a very serious problem. in my situation the several times that the lights went out, i was in a dangerous place (on curvey highway between pennsylvania and ohio at speeds between 55-70mph) the situation when the headlights and dash lights were out could have had fatal consequences especially when tall hills surround curvey freeways and roads and such as a deer crossing the road or worse yet, a person on the side of the road. the problem is still occurring and the bcm keeps malfunctioning every few minutes turning off all lights and dashboard clusters and it costs too much for me to fix-almost $1400. *tr

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. *tr

Tl *the contact owns 2002 buick rendezvous. the contact stated that the heater was non functional and anti-freeze was leaking out. the vehicle was taken to a repair shop where the contact was informed that the manifold gasket needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure and current mileages were 130,000.

When hot outside 80+. the lights go out, the dash keeps flashing on/off, the security system locks up, the ac stops working\, the radio stops working, the door locks stop working etc etc etc. we have taken it in to my mech and he can't find problem. we are taking it back to the dealer and make him search for the problem. i am reading that it is the bcm on these cars. *tr

2002 buick rendezvous otherwise known as the money pit. seems that as usual our latest expense (101,000) is not covered under the recalls, due to the manufacturing date of the vehicle. smelled gas for a week, then noticed gas gauge fluctuating, never showing empty even though trip odometer showed it had almost an empty tank. mechanic stated crack in the fuel tank, but car was manufactured before the recall date, so buick did not cover the cost of repairs. have recently also experienced loss of all power to cigarette lighters, drivers side window fell down and entire regulator unit was replaced. back hatch handle fell off, again. rearview mirror also fell off. ac fan will no longer blow at highest setting. these are all minor compared to the faulty abs sensor, loss of traction control, ac condenser, tie rods, 2 replaced batteries, front wheel bearings, rotors. and those repairs are just from the last 3 years.... *tr

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. after parking the vehicle, the contact was able to remove the key from the ignition before shutting off the engine. the vehicle was neither diagnosed nor repaired. the current and failure mileages were 129,000.

Tl* the contact owns a 2002 buick rendevous. while driving the headlights began to turn on and then off. also the door locks were unlocking and locking on its own. the vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealership and there were no prior warnings. the current and failure mileages were 102000.

I have a 2002 buick rendezvous and the battery power drain which resulted in the car going into security mode. the security warning now flashes above the speedometer and my radio states locked. the power windows & locks, radio, fog lights, interior lights and ac are not working due to the security feature being enabled. the keyless remote is not responding to the truck as well. i have also heard and read about several rendezvous owners having this problem. i am surprise it is not consider part of the recall on the 02 rdz. *tr

Just purchased a 2002 buick rendezvous 4 months ago and have had nothing but issues with this car, it left me stranded and started up by a jump start. i got the battery, alternator, and starter checked all reported fine. car ran fine for about 2 months then it did it again. the headlights will flicker at night sometimes at a rhythm. the interior lights decided when they will and will not work. mainly the seat heater buttons. replaced battery yesterday and while driving to richmond va all interior/exterior lights flashed on and off with the battery light showing in the dash. after a few minutes everything went back to normal. these cheaply made vehicles will cause a serious accident if not deaths if these companies don't stand behind what they put out to it's public. considering that i owe 5000.00 for it i will not put alot into it to keep it running. this company needs to fix their vehicles the way they were advertised. *tr

I own a 2002 buick rendezvous and on many (at least once per month for the last 3 yrs) occasions driving (especially at night), the power goes out to all the outside and inside lights and the car seems to do a system reboot. we've been scared out of our mind and have to pull over to remedy it (by unplugging battery and putting it back on) we've had the whole car shut off, lose power steering and nearly run off an embankment. we've taken it to mechanics, but it still happens. other website complaints show it is the body control module and gm is aware of it, but no recall has occurred. i am attempting to get this looked at now, but after looking at the website complaints, i'm not the only one dealing with this. these have all been near-misses for our family and one was extremely scary when you have an 18-wheeler coming at you with not lights and no power steering at night. please move forward and have gm do something about this before it results in something more severe than near-miss accidents. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. he experienced electrical failure including failure of the lights on the instrument control panel, the head-lights, and the door locks. the vehicle was taken to the dealer, and a technician concluded that he would have to pay $500.00 for a diagnostic fee to have the vehicle inspected. the failure and the current mileages were 56,812.

Lose all gauges, and lights in the car. car continues to run. happens from several times a minutes to every few seconds. now security check light comes on and car is locked. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. the contact stated that the service vehicle light illuminated on the instrument panel. it started to blink and dims the light or cuts off the exterior and interior lights in the vehicle. the vehicle also goes into security mode and locks the entire vehicle. the vehicle will need to be taken to an authorized dealer the current mileage was 81,500 and failure mileage was 80,000.

I have a 2002 buick rendezvous with 52,650 miles on it. in the past 3 months i have had to have the body control module, a rt frt wheel speed sensor replaced. when i had it in for the speed sensor replaced, the gm shop found that the intake manifold is leaking and must be repaired @ a cost od $1000.00 and then maybe the head gaskets may need to be replaced due to the type od gaskets that gm used and the dex-cool anti freeze used i by gm. this has been a problem for several years and numerous complaints have been filed. a class action suit was filed but no one--no one notified the public about it until it was to late to get in on it. i think that there needs to be a forced recall to correct this problem. tax payers have bailed out gm and we get stuck with a faulty product. i contacted gm and in the end they refused to make good or even admit this problem has existed since they started to use dexcool. *tr

Body control module needs replacement. this seems to be happening to a ton of rendezvous owners. please help! *tr

While traveling home for spring break. my 2002 buick rendezvous experienced electrical problems and stalled on the highway. i purchased this vehicle in december 2008 and it is still under warranty. i had the vehicle towed from stockton ca to tracy ca where it remains awaiting a service authorization to be fixed from my contract holder. the mechanic at the tracy dealership stated the battery was dead, the oil was very low and that the engine had internal problems that would require him to dismantle or replace the engine. this particular vehicle is listed in many complaints in the data base here and has serious mechanical / electrical issues. to date march 29, 2009 i am awaiting service and a resolution. nothing has been done to correct the issue to date. *tr

I have owned my 2002 buick rendezvous for less than 2 yrs and i have had to replace 2 wheel bearings and now i have blown a head gasket. less than a month ago i had to replace the alternator and battery. the driver side window fell in less than a yr ago and i have electrical problems with it constantly. including the alarm and security going off for no reason at all. *tr

2002 buick rendevous, electrical and head gasket purchased this car over a year ago so far had to replace transmission and repair transmission x2, needs head gaskets due to my car overheating gradually, have to bleed the system for air pretty much every other day to get heat in the car. my computer has been replaced 6 months after purchasing it after being unable to clear itself of the codes. this last incident the battery died and since now the computer is running the car causing my car to run in park at 3 rpm's, in neutral it shoots up to 4500, it drives about 2-2.5 rpms. the computer was cleared and reset last night rpm's dropped to about 760 still elevated but ok, then started it this morning to take my daughter to school and it drove itself, stalling as i watched the computer run through as it was possessed, i have since called the car "christine". i can see the computer running the car, as the rpms elevate and then decrease, shutting the car down etc, i can not believe that there is no recalls as this is so dangerous. there are no codes relating to this issue, no transmission, engine issues, this is completely computer related. i had someone with a complex system delete all codes and have the computer relearn itself. it worked. started it this morning and started all over. between the computer and heating and cooling system, this car is a constant headache not to mention i have had this car in the repair shop more than i have been able to drive it especially since i'm still paying on it.

I had the car 2 weeks & the window regulator/motor in my drivers window stopped working. but was told it was not covered. i only had about 49,000 miles on it. at 75,000 my fuel gauge went out, that was replaced, but was told that my gas tank had been leaking. which explains the gas smell when i filled my tank up. i thought it was just where some might have gotten on the outside. then i read there is a recall, however, buick told me that they were not going to replace mine. a new one is 1,800. i can't afford that. at 80,000 1 of my back wheel hubs & assembly went out & i needed a new universal belt, so both were replaced.85,000 the second wheel hub & assembly went out. that too replaced. at 101,000 my transmission started slipping a little. had it flushed & filter changed, helped for about a day, then started again. awd light started coming on & going off, coming on & going off. blew 2 fuses in my car, nothing would work. at 101,000 car went from a normal temp.(just got off work, had not even drove 2 miles) to hot, pulled over, oh guess what thermostat stopped working, it was leaking coolant, cracked a header. that too replaced. check engine light came on around 108,000, now what, o2 censor, fuel pump, intake manifold, and catylic converter. all replaced too. when i start my car, sometimes it won't start. so i have to pop the hood & move wires around and play with the battery post to get it to start. i thought it was the battery but its not, because i have replaced that too. when your driving down the road at about 60, and turn the wheel either right or left, the steering wheel will shake, & you can feel something that feels like a rattle under your feet. i want to get rid of it so bad, but i have finally got it down to where hopefully i can trade it in, because the extra money i was planning on using to pay it off, has had to go into it to fix it. *js

The rear hatch door unlocks by itself from the body computer problem when you first start the car also other things that are controlled by this unit work or don't work including air bags sys outside temp air cond. cooling fans among others. if you shut the car off and turn it on it goes away until you shut the car off. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. the contact noticed that the power locks were inoperative, which prevented him from exiting and locking the doors. secondly, he noticed that the instrument panel gauges displayed inaccurate readings. thirdly, he noticed that the battery warning indicator illuminated on the instrument control panel. he took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced the battery and two modules in the electrical system. one week after the repair, the failure resurfaced. the vin was unknown. the failure and current mileages were 66,000.

2002 buick rendezvous. dealership has informed me that bcm needs replacement. internet searches show me that this has been a problem for many owners. this is a very serious problem & i am just relieved that my family did not suffer any serious physical harm from the incident. car packed to bring son back to college. all of a sudden, while traveling at highway speed, all electrical controls seemed to stop. radio cut out, all windows became inoperable, air conditioning stopped, back hatch inoperable. control panel gave security alert and locked message across radio display. biggest problem was fact that we were traveling at high speed on interstate on a very hot day. no operable windows and no a.c. had to exit over to shoulder. took short spurts of stopping car to manually open doors for air, until we could return to our house. in the two weeks proceeding this incident, we had some sort of coil replaced in our steering column, and the car's battery replaced (already had replaced last year). car only has 77,000 miles on it. also were a victim of the rendezvous' cracked a/c condenser about 2 yrs ago. this car seems to have some major problems and there are tsbs on this stuff, but no recalls. this latest problem with the bcm was very scary and dangerous! even though getting replaced at nearly $1,000 to me, i am afraid of driving this car on the highway. it was like the car was possessed. *tr

We have a buick rendezvous. the car's interior lights go off without warning, and it becomes impossible to see dashboard lights, including speedometer, at night. other times, horn will start blaring for several minutes with no warning...almost caused an accident yesterday...it startles anyone around. now, when we turn off the car, the headlights won't go off at all, no matter what we try. will have a dead battery next time we go to drive the car (tomorrow morning). *tr

Multiple issues with regard to 2002 buick rendezvous: with less than 50,000 miles, i have had to replace the onboard computer ($900), left front hub assembly ($1100) and a/c condenser ($1300). among other issues related to design defects, the odometer is located inside the onboard computer, so the vehicle was in the repair shop for 5 days while the part was shipped to california (from virginia) for repair. recalls have not been issued for these parts, though there are numerous complaints on web forums (recommend initiating google search for "2002 buick rendezvous complaint"). *tr

2002 buick rendezvous gas gauge / sending unit failure gauge shows tank full when full but also registers full when tank is near empty. ran out of fuel in heavy traffic but had no collision. gm has no fix for the problem. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. while driving approximately 70 mph on the highway at night, all of the warning lights on the dashboard started flickering. suddenly, all of the warning lights, headlights and speed odometer shut off. she experienced difficulty driving without headlights and was unaware of the speed. the dashboard lights continued to flicker on and off. the following day, an independent mechanic diagnosed the failure and stated that the body control module needed to be replaced. the cost of repairs were $926.00. the manufacturer reimbursed her for $383.56 since the vehicle was not repaired at an authorized dealer. she was unable to afford the cost to repair the vehicle at the dealer. the current and failure mileages were 54,000. updated 06/25/08. *lj the consumer stated the problem has returned. updated

Starting sometime at the end of october 2007 into november of 2007 my 2002 buick rendezvous started having starting problems associated with the security system. vehicle would intermittently not would be hard to start or not start at all. if jumped off the alarm system would go off. sometimes the radio would not come on, a/c would not come on, lights would flash, etc. in late november the vehicle finally went haywire and started blowing the horn, lights blinking and lights not going off after vehicle was turned off. disconnected battery repeatedly to reset until that would no longer work. took it to the dealer to have it checked. was told it was the bcm. had bcm replaced and reprogrammed. on march 14, 2008, vehicle started doing the same things that lead up to this part being replaced. am taking it in again this week if i can keep it started. doing this complaint because after reading various internet blogs, forums and chats this problem seems to be a recurring problem for many 2002 buick rendezvous'. *tr

On occasions my rendezvous would make a sputtering sound when i would turn it off, then lights and radio would turn off immediately, instead of the upon opening the door. this has happen several times. dealers explained not to worry about the problem. anti lock brake light came on 3 days ago, it went out then came back on again. after starting the vehicle normally this morning and driving apprx 2 1/2 miles, i turned the vehicle off. immediately my 2002 rendezvous doors locks are automatically engaging itself in the unlock mode; the doors will not lock with or without manual control; the lights are constantly flashing; the radio is locked out. it would not allow me to start it at all. after waiting apprx 30mins and removing the fuse for the door lock it started. but once the fuse is placed back in it begin to have the same problem. this problem continues since 7:45am time now approx 4:20pm called a few dealers who wants to charge $90 per hr to look at the vehicle, unfortunately i don't have the funds. i've been treated like like an idiot when i take my vehicle in for service by a buick dealer. ed rinke in centerline, mi, refused to even look at my vehicle regarding the fuel tank recall. i don't want to pay hundreds of $ for a minor repair or an malfunction by the manufacturer. this vehicle was purchase in 2005 w 63,000 and now has apprx 101,000 miles. *tr

I have experienced a series of mechanical failures on my vehicle since the year i purchased it. the latest incident was 02/15/08 wherein the lights on the vehicle console began to flash...engine coolant light, change oil, battery-the vehicle then began to slow down approaching 42mph (the car had regular maintenance on 02/08/08). this occurred on highway 680 southbound during rush hour traffic. the vehicle has been serviced repeatedly for the same issue with no remedy more than five times. i now feel at risk and feel the vehicle is a safety hazard. the car completely shut down on me 08/30/07 in triple digit heat on highway 680 northbound. i had the vehicle towed to the dealership for service. i was told the problem was a faulty fuel filter. the filter was replaced and the problem recurred about 3 or 4 weeks later. the dealership and gm tell me that since they cannot duplicate the problem, there is nothing they can do. the previous time i had my vehicle serviced for mechanical failure, my husband picked the vehicle up for repair and he experienced the same problem immediately after pulling off the delearship property. all of my services have been performed by the same dealership. all of my maintenance is current. there must be some reasonable explanation for this recurring problem, but no one seems to have an answer. i have had the computer/parts replaced twice within 6 months, fuel filters replaced, sensors replaced and a host of other items. i want to get rid of the vehicle at this point because i have to travel almost 30 miles one way to my place of employment. since gm says there is nothing wrong with the vehicle, i should at least be able to trade the current vehicle in at the highest trade-in value and purchase a vehicle of similar design and value. *tr

2002 buick rendezvous, - sold by gm s "gm certified".. only must have been a joke. from the onset, solenoid difficulties created dangerous situation on highway, called them and spoke rather bluntly... that was after many, many calls. wipers didn't work in the rain... would stick.. very dangerous while driving. intake manifold gasket - cost one thousand dollars.. fuel gauge does not work. car does not run.. get stuck for the past two months, at least three times per week. paid four hundred dollars to replace "things".. still gets stuck.. now car won't start. sometimes, windows don't work, car won't lock or unlock, car won't start. at this point, car is dead. bcm? who knows. disaster car. it's a gift from god that we're not dead. *tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2002 buick rendezvous. while driving at an unknown speed, the security system warning indicator illuminated and caused the automatic windows, doors, and trunk to lock. the door locks intermittently moved from the locked to unlocked position. the contact could not exit the vehicle and attempted to place it into park and turn off the ignition. however, she was still unable to exit the vehicle. in addition, the radio lock button enabled and she could not move it from the unlock position. the dealer input a code that unlocked all the components that were affected by the security system. the ignition cylinder was repaired and the contact removed a fuse in an attempt to correct the failures. currently, the trunk is still locked and the failures persist. the failure and current mileages were less than 100,000.

Alarm goes off any time you lock doors, can't open locks without using keys so can't open rear doors to get my kids out. light will not shut off, exterior thermostat is inaccurate, a/c does not work at all times. door unlock buttons do not work all the time. car goes into security mode, so no a/c, no clock, no stereo. trunk pops open by itself. the interior door alarm won't go off even when door is closed. need to disconnect batteries at times to shut off lights. *tr
