Problems with 2004 Buick Rendezvous VISIBILITY

I was driving the vehicle to an appointment and all of a sudden it thumbed when i moved from the light taking off not like it was shifting but as something was knocked in, then the lower light i turn on in the truck stopped working, the interior dash lights as well stopped on the 11 of march about 6 pm i was heading back in from out of town had to position my cell phone so i could see what speed i was going, the turning to the right knocks like something is about to fall off, and the to top it off the wiper from the back window leaks in the inside when i try to clean with fluid, the seat belt as well is not locking i and my on star it reads and talks as i tried to set up an account the system failed and my engine stalls as well the temperature gauge runs hot if i go in town and stop at the lights i checked the fluid and it is in their i called gm and they quote and quote say their was never a recall on my vehicle but i see online that their was why is it that they can't seem to locate any information i hate that i am always getting duped in with these vehicles and then i get more depressed and shut down and feel like all my funds mean nothing to any one. *tr

I have been seriously frustrated with my vehicle. i have taken to mechanics where i paid to have it placed on the diagnostic machine and i have had every fuse checked numerous times. not once but many times over the past year. my 2004 buick rendezvous' gas gauge and speedometer work when they want to. most of the time not at all. the speedometer will read over 100 mph. the gas gauge does not work. i took it to another mechanic today to be told it must be in the board. i have been told it has something to do with a ground wire. i don't know but for the money i spent on this car it should work. i am worried about safety. i have had problems with it stalling also. one window will not roll up and down by the button on the door (only by the driver's button). one door won't open from the inside. and the back windshield wiper does not touch the window. this also has been looked at since 2 weeks after i purchased the vehicle. i just found out about gm' recalls etc today and am hoping something will finally get done cause i love my suv. *tr

Buick rendevous 2004, owner complaint about poor design of front side mirror and front seat safety restraints. *bf the seat belt straps were not long enough and the exterior mirrors were too large. *nm

The windshield wiper washer keeps freezing up due to poor design. this makes the removal of debris from windshield impossible. which reduces the driver's visibility that could result in an accident. the vehicle has been serviced several times for this issue, in which alcohol has been added to the windshield washer fluid to thaw the windshield wiper washer. this is only a temporarily fix. *jb *tt

Several-failures, braking noise, front/rear tire wear, unsecured roof and top tail lamp. *bf steering wheel was noisy along with a thump roar and grinding, there was poor air flow circulation on the rear passenger side, the rack roof was unsecured and side rails, poor wear on the tires front/rear, rear wheel rubbing/grinding during normal operation, brake noises, poor idle and shuts off the engine, lack of air flow for passengers in the rear of the vehicle, and the right front passenger window black rubber seam buckled. *sc *jb

The consumer's stated mirrors were so large that they created a hazardous blind spot. the side of the mirror was struck and broken because the consumer did not see the object. *ak *sc

While driving 50 mph in inclement weather windshield wipers failed. this caused poor visibility. driver was able to maintain control of the vehicle, and drove it to the dealer for inspection. mechanic determined that the windshield wipers needed to be replaced. *ak both wiper arms snapped and interlocked when put them into operation for the first time, these arms overlap's one another with a very close tolerance. wiper on passenger side deformed and twisted as it pulled away from the other after interlocking. rubber blade pulled out leaving the metal arm to sweep the windshield and scratch on the glass. *bf *nm
