What owners wrote
I purchased this vehicle used in december 2014, the very first night driving it home, the engine would nit start. I immediately called the dealer, took the car back and watched as they ran a diagnostic. Nothing was wrong with it. I did some research and it seems to be a normal issue with the make and model. Then I noticed the faulty gas guage, reading low fuel then all of a sudden I have gas. Again, contacted the dealer, took it back and yet again, diagnostic ran with clear readings.
Tl* the contact owns a 2006 buick rendezvous. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. An unknown local buick dealer of elkhart, indiana was made aware of the failure, but the source of the failure was not determined and could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and transferred to contact to NHTSA. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 82,000.
