When driving 55 mph rear right tire blewout. This caused the consumer to pull of the road and change the tire. Consumer stated that the tire looked like it just melted, and there were no objects and the road. This was a Firestone tire. The consumer noticed that the passenger side front floor mat was wet. The technician determined that the A/C evaporator drain was clogged due to leaves coming from the windshield cowling. The dealer cleaned the drain and removed the leaves. The left front hub and bearing had excessive play and were noisy. The check engine light illuminated. The trouble codes indicated that the gas cap may have been loose. The vehicle body control module (BCM) failed and had to be replaced. It caused the security lights to remain on, the A/C not to work and at night the horn would sound when the vehicle was off. After the consumer locked the door the vehicle radio would come on. This caused the battery to drain and as a result the vehicle had to be jump started.

2002 Buick Rendezvous A/C condenser has developed a leak - and as a result I have no air conditioning. Per the service center this cannot be repaired the condenser must be replaced. Cost is over $800. I will never purchase another Buick. My father who is a retired GM employee suggested that Buick was a good car. I am telling everyone I know just the opposite!.

2002 Buick Rendezvous: May 2004, air-conditioning does not cool. Dealer service center is charging $800....a major repair for such a new vehicle seems ridiculous and I'll not purchase another Rendezvous, and probably not another Buick.

The A/C unit quit working on MY2002 Buick rndezvous @ 42,000 miles and it cost $600 to fix. At 44,000 miles the intake gaskets are out of it and it's a 3.4 liter V6 and everbody has the same problem, it's an engineering flaw. The seats don't go back far enough in the front for tall people.

I've had several problems with my car. One of the problems is when vehicle is at a stopped position while driving, vehicle rolls back. Dealership claims it is normal. Air conditioning/heater does not cool/heat enough. There is a "klunck" noise from under the car almost everytime I stop. Dealership is looking into it and has Buick Corp involved.
