I WAS DRIVING THE CAR CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AT THE RIGHT LIGHT, TURNED GREEN TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE PUSH THE GAS PEDAL, CAR COMPLETELY CUT OFF, COULD NOT GET IT TO CRANK, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED, TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, I HAVE A 50% WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE, POWERTRAIN, AND TRANSMISSION. THEN CRANKSHAFT POSITION SENSOR NEED TO BE REPLACE AND THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. I ONLY HAD THIS CAR FOR ONE WEEK, WHEN IT STARTED DOING THIS, THE CAR IS STILL CUTTING OFF AND IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING I HAVE A YOUNG SON, THIS ISSUE IS VERY SERIOUS DOESN'T MATTER WHERE I AM WHILING DRIVING THE CAR JUST CUTS OFF. PLEASE HELP WITH THIS. *TR

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THE 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE FUEL LOSS. THE CAR IS LEAKING FUEL. PEORIA KIA STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND SINCE WE PURCHASED IT USED IT WAS AS IS. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND WE NEED TO GET THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIXED..WE HAVE TWO CHILDREN AND IT IS NOT SAFE FOR US. I AM GLAD THAT I FOUND THIS RECALL INFORMATION BUT I NEED HELP GETTING THE FUEL AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FIXED. *JS

THE BUICK WAS MY PREVIOUS VEHICLE AND IT WOULD JUST STALL WHILE I WAS DRIVING. IT ONLY HAPPENED A FEW TIMES, BUT WAS ALMOST THE RESULT OF AN ACCIDENT TWO TIMES. I DID HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THE DEALERSHIP TESTED IT SEVERAL TIMES, BUT NEVER FOUND A CAUSE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NEED TO KNOW THIS INFORMATION, BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE IN LIGHT WHAT HAS BEEN GOING ON AND I WAS SURPRISED THE RENDEZVOUS WASN'T LISTED AS ONE OF THE VEHICLES WITH A PROBLEM. I KNOW THE DEALERSHIP INFORMATION, BUT I'M NOT SURE HOW LONG THEY KEEP THEIR RECORDS. THE DATE I ENTERED ABOVE IS INACCURATE. FEEL FREE TO CONTACT ME IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS. *TR

UPDATE: PRIOR ISSUES WERE DUE TO BCM FAILURE WHICH THAT WAS MY ASSUMPTION BASED ON NUMEROUS OWNER REVIEWS. THIS PART IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IF FAILS AND BUICK IS AWARE AND WON'T RECALL. THESE SHOULD LAST FOR THE LIFE OF THE VEHICLE. OCCASIONALLY ONE WILL GO BAD BUT SHOULDN'T. THE FACT THAT MANY RENDEZVOUS MODELS FACE THIS ISSUE OF FAILURE PREMATURELY SHOWS THAT IT IS A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT! MANY HAVE ALMOST DIES DUE TO THIS FAILURE. CAR SHUTTING OFF AND LIGHTS GOING OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAYS/ EXPRESSWAYS. *TR
