My wife and I own a 2005 Buick Rendezvous and we are starting to have problems with the transmission. I have been researching about the transmission for this vehicle and it seems after 60K miles the transmissions starts to go bad. I have keep up with the changing of the fluid but I think this a problem that should be looked into.
