CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2006 Buick Rainier has a lot going for it and just a few issues that keep it from making our "best vehicles" list.
The good news is the SUV has a quiet interior (thanks to triple door seals, acoustic laminate glass, and thicker sound-absorbing pads), a low number of overall complaints, and a RWD system which offers good balance and handling.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
Car felt like someone bumped the back end of it while at a stopped position or that it is shifting down while you are at a stopped position..you can also feel it on the floor at times as it happens when it feels like it..dealer did a check with the diagnostic machine and nothing was in the computer...this was the second time I took car into dealer...first time they said it was probably the compessor kicking on....this time they said that this car has a transmission that downshifs like that and makes it feel like there is a problem but unless it gets worst not to worry...but if it does get worse to ring it back in.
