Brought a new 2002 Buick Rendezvous cx from a dealer. At about 10,000 miles the car started having numerous problems that were beyond normal wear and tear. Starting with the engine light and other problems. They were repaired under the warranty. But about 24,000 and without warranty, the car got overheated for a 15 minutes traffic jam. Turned out the front wheel bearing needed to be replaced, and the ac sensor wasn't working. Replaced the front wheel bearing sensor. About 6 months later, the other wheel bearing needed to be replaced. Just about 1 month ago and 35,000 miles later, the overheated problem happened again, compounded with the A/C linkage, and the ABS sensor wasn't working. I paid $1,200 for fixing the overheat problem and replacing the ABS sensor. I didn't fix the ac linkage because it would cost me another $900!! now I am so worry that another major problem going to happen anytime soon. I am so disappointed with this car. I am hoping GM will issue a recall and stop cheating consumers.

My 2002 Buick Rendezvous cxl shuts down while driving down the road. It also will not start after being turned off. The problem always occurs in hot weather. Typically, it's a hot summer day and I have to wait for about 1 - 2 hours before the car will start. On at least three occasions, I was driving down the road and the car stalled, once on the interstate at 60 mph.
