2006 Buick Rendezvous

I HAVE A 2006 BUICK RENDEZVOUS THAT I PAID $11,000. FOR HAVING IT FOR 2 YEARS NOW I HAVE TRANS PROBLEMS AT 93,000 MILES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. STARTED NOT SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR, HAD THE 3/4 SHIFT SENSOR REPLACED SAME THING, THEN HAD THE PRESSURE CONTROL SENSOR REPLACED SAME THING. LOOKED UP CONSUMER COMPLAINTS AND SEE PAGE AFTER PAGE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES RIGHT AT 92,000. APPARENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE. NOW THE DEALER WANTS ANOTHER $5000. TO REPLACE IT. I HAVE A LEMON AND I WANT IT FIXED OR REPLACED. THAT'S $16,000 FOR A $9,000 CAR. REALLY COME ON GM STEP UP YOUR GAME. MY FAMILY DEPENDS ON THIS CAR AND WITHOUT IT WE COULD LOSE EVERYTHING. I AM DISABLED AND A VET OF THE US MARINE CORPS.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY GOING AROUND A BEND AT ABOUT 65 MPH WHEN I HEARD A BANG AND THOUGHT IT WAS THE TIRE. IT TOOK ALL MY EFFORT TO GET IT OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I HAVE NEW TIRES ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN I GOT OUT TO LOOK, THE WHEEL WAS BENT OUT AND FIRST THING I THOUGHT WAS TIE ROD. TIRE IS FINE. WHEN MY HUSBAND AND UNCLE CAME OUT THEY NOTICED THE BALL JOINT HAD BROKE OFF. THANK GOODNESS I HAD CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND DID NOT HURT MYSELF OR SOMEONE ELSE. DON'T KNOW THE EXTENT OF WHAT IS GOING ON YET, BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THE VEHICLE AFTER SEEING SO MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SUSPENSION, ETC. IN FACT WHEN I HAVE DRIVEN IT IN SNOW, EVEN WITH THE NEW TIRES, I DIDN'T FEEL LIKE I HAD VERY GOOD CONTROL. I HAVE NEVER FELT THAT WAY WITH OTHER VEHICLES THAT I HAVE OWNED.

I'VE HAD SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. SPENT OVER $4000 IN REPAIRS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST PROBLEM I HAD WAS WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER LIGHT AND TRACTION SYSTEM LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD JUST DECELERATE AND WOULDN'T GO OVER 15MPH. I HAD IT REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND THEN 2 MONTHS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN HAD IT REPAIRED AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE WIRING HARNESS AND COMPUTER THAT NEEDED REPLACED. AND NOW I'M HAVING A SIMILAR ISSUE BUT THIS TIME THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS FLASHING BUT THE CAR DOESN'T WANT TO ACCELERATE AND TAKES SEVERAL SECONDS TO EVEN GET UP TO 35 MPH. I HAD THIS REPAIRED ONCE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A WIRING/FUSE ISSUE AND THAT THE CAR WAS ONLY RUNNING ON 3 CYLINDERS AND LITERALLY 2 DAYS AFTER THE REPAIR IT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS. MY MECHANIC EVEN TOLD ME I SHOULD JUST GET RID OF THE VEHICLE BECAUSE IT OBVIOUSLY HAS MAJOR WIRING ISSUES. IT ONLY HAS 130,000 MILES.
