I own a 2007 buick rendezvous. I was having several problems with the airbags light kept coming on. The battery light kept coming on and replacing the tires every month. The car would shake horrible and we had the car aligned. On july the 17 2010 my son had an accident and suffered a head injury and cuts to the face. The trooper said he did not have on a seatbelt, because he was partially ejected.
The second row bucket seats are loose and move when the car turns or stops. We have taken it back to the dealer several times but they say there is no adjustments that can be made...they offer no solution and it just keeps getting worse.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 buick rendezvous. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35 MPH, the appliques on the rear driver and passenger's side became detached. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who replaced the appliques twice however, the failure was recurring. The contact stated this is a safety issue because while driving at high speeds ,the appliques could fly off the vehicle and injure a pedestrian. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure.
