2007 Buick Rendezvous

I OWN A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. I WAS HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAGS LIGHT KEPT COMING ON. THE BATTERY LIGHT KEPT COMING ON AND REPLACING THE TIRES EVERY MONTH. THE CAR WOULD SHAKE HORRIBLE AND WE HAD THE CAR ALIGNED. ON JULY THE 17 2010 MY SON HAD AN ACCIDENT AND SUFFERED A HEAD INJURY AND CUTS TO THE FACE. THE TROOPER SAID HE DID NOT HAVE ON A SEATBELT, BECAUSE HE WAS PARTIALLY EJECTED. YET THE NURSE REPORTED THAT HE HAD SEATBELT MARKS FROM ACROSS HIS SHOULDER TO HIS CHEST WHICH INDICATED HE HAD ON HIS SEATBELT. I BELIEVE THE SEATBELT CAME UNLOCK AND THAT HOW HE GOT THROWN OUT. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. I HAD GMC TO CHECK IT AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS AND THIS IS NOT TRUE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. AS THE OCCUPANT IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT EXITED AND CLOSED THE DOOR, THE SIDE AIR BAG DEPLOYED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD REPAIR THE VEHICLE. LATER THAT SAME DAY, SHE RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER STATING THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE REPAIRS BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT. THE CONTACT RETRIEVED HER VEHICLE AND BELIEVES THAT THE FAILURE SHOULD BE COVERED UNDER A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 174,200.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH BETWEEN TWO 18 WHEELERS, THE VEHICLE ROLLED OVER EIGHT TIMES AND CRASHED INTO A TREE DUE TO THE AIR CURRENT FROM OTHER VEHICLES. THE CONTACT'S FOREHEAD STRUCK THE STEERING COLUMN AND CAUSED SEVERE HEAD INJURIES. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE CONTACT REAR ENDED THE PRECEDING VEHICLE. THE DRIVER'S SEAT BELT DID NOT LOCK AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE DRIVER INJURED HER CHEST AND LEFT KNEE. THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPAIRED THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT THE SEAT BELTS WERE IN WORKING ORDER. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE CRASH WAS NOT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR THE AIR BAGS TO DEPLOY. THE DEALER STATED THAT IF THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT DEPRESSED, THE SEAT BELT IS NOT SUPPOSED TO LOCK. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT SINCE THE DEALER STATED THAT THE SEAT BELT WAS NOT DEFECTIVE, NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. WHEN THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL, THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND THEN ACCELERATED. SHE STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FELT AS IF IT WOULD STALL WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. WHEN SHE REMOVES HER FOOT FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, SHE FELT A SENSATION AND THE VEHICLE WOULD ACCELERATE VERY QUICKLY. THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED AND STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SENSOR WAS THE CAUSE OF THE MALFUNCTION AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER REPLACED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THAT IF SOMEONE WOULD INSPECT THE VEHICLE, THE FAILURE WOULD APPEAR. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOR THE SECOND TIME. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WITH THE FAILURE STILL PRESENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THEY WOULD KEEP THE VEHICLE AND NOTIFY THE CONTACT OF THE SITUATION. HE ALSO STATED THAT THERE WERE OTHER FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE, SUCH AS THE ENGINE HESITATING UPON START UP, THE RADIO MALFUNCTIONING, AND THE DOORS JAMMING.
