2004 BUICK RENDEZVOUS - EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE HORN (DESIGN FLAW). I HAVE NARROWLY ESCAPED MANY ACCIDENTS BY SHEER LUCK. HAVE HAD PEOPLE BACKING INTO ME & BEEN UNABLE TO HONK THE HORN BECAUSE I COULD NOT FIND THE VERY LIMITED "SWEET SPOT." WHEN THE STEERING WHEEL IS TURNED EVEN SLIGHTLY, IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND! *JB

DT: THE CONTACT HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE REAR HATCHBACK OPENING WHILE DRIVING SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED. AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR THE DEFECT BY THE DEALERSHIP THE CONTACT WAS ALERTED OF NHTSA RECALL CAMPAIGN 04V150000. THE RECALL NOTICES WERE SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP 15 DAYS BEFORE SHE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, AND THE RECALL REPAIRS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. THE GAS GAUGE ON THE VEHICLE DID NOT WORK ACCURATELY. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE (ECM) MULTIPLE TIMES, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THEY SUGGESTED THAT SHE DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF GAS USED BY THE MILES TRAVELED. THE LOCKS DID NOT UNLOCK THE DOOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS IN PARK. THE CONTACT HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND OFF TO UNLOCK THE DOORS AND THE MANUAL LOCKS DID NOT ALWAYS WORK. THERE HAVE BEEN NO REPAIRS MADE TO THE LOCKS . *AK

SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN FOUND THE MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WAS NOT PROPERLY CONNECTED AFTER THE FUEL SYSTEM WAS SERVICED. THE TECHNICIAN SUBSEQUENTLY FOUND THE FUEL TANK HARNESS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE SERVICE MANAGER ADVISED THAT THIS CONNECTOR WAS EXPOSED TO THE WEATHER ELEMENTS AND IF THE CONNECTOR FAILED THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD IN MY OPINION. THE CONNECTOR WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $199.50. *JB
