#2135 of 2196 Too high mileage? by bambi712 Apr 18, 2009 (6:54 am)
was looking at a 05 rendezvous to buy at a GREAT price but it has 130, 000 miles. What is the engine expectancy mileage wise? Replies to this message: cruzak (Apr 19, 2009 1:23 pm) Mr_Shiftright (Apr 19, 2009 1:47 pm)

Replying to: bambi712 (Apr 18, 2009 6:54 am) The mileage is too high Bambi712, I know a car with great price deal it's hard to resist especially when it is within your budget bracket on your car buying. In my opinion I prefer buying a car that will give me a peace of mind over discounted price. I own 2005 RDV currently have 47200 mileage, from my calculation base on months of ownership I drove the car 1151 miles per month average, which is high based on common normal average use. Look for some RDV deals that has less than 50k mileage and purchase GM warranty that will protect you up to 100k miles. One thing I want to add, consider activating the OnStar feature, it really gives me a peace of mind wherever I go especially driving during winter season.

Replying to: bambi712 (Apr 18, 2009 6:54 am) Statistical life expectancy of a modern gasoline engine would be about 175,000 miles. Some go more, some go less.
#2138 of 2196 Possible Fuel Pump Safety Switch by erica2960 Apr 26, 2009 (3:41 pm)
I recently hit a very large pot hole, my car immediately stalled and I was unable to restart the car. The car would turn over, but there was no fuel pump noise and it wasn't getting any gas. The dealer that I purchased the car from told me that if you are in an accident of impact, that there is a safety switch that has to be pushed in order to restart you car. It has something to do with the fuel. Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Apr 26, 2009 3:48 pm)

Replying to: erica2960 (Apr 26, 2009 3:41 pm) I don't believe your car has one of those. Only some automakers use this device. I'd look for another problem. You might only have jarred a fuse loose.
#2140 of 2196 Backup sensors 2005 ultra Rendezous by tablescape Apr 28, 2009 (8:08 am)
Has anyone had the backups sensor quit working. Mine was intermittent then quit, now it has had 4 new modules put in and they still have my car. They just can't seem to figure out why they don't work. Replies to this message: cassandraj (Apr 28, 2009 9:04 am) tablescape (May 01, 2009 5:27 am)

Replying to: tablescape (Apr 28, 2009 8:08 am) My first guess is that you have a fuse that is bad. 2nd guess is that the switch on the dash is bad. 3rd I know that dirt on or around any of the the backup sensors will keep the sensors from working. There might be something blocking one of the sensors and causing them not function.   However, I would have one person start the car, make sure that the backup function sensor is turned on and not in the off position, then place the car in reverse (while pressing and holding the break) have a second person walk around the vehicle to see if any of the sensors will set off the backup system/alarm. There are several areas around the vehicle such as left & right front bumbers along with the back left, right and behind the bumbers that should set off the backup sensor.   My best guess is that you have a fuse out and they most likely replaced the back up sensors and did not need to. I hope you find out the issue. Please let me know. Best of Luck! Replies to this message: tablescape (May 01, 2009 5:27 am)
#2142 of 2196 Power Outlets by dwettstein Apr 28, 2009 (9:21 pm)
I've lost power in both front power outlets. The owners manual shows where the fuse is located for the rear outlet, but not the others. I checked every fuse in the inside fuse panel, and all were good. Any Ideas? Replies to this message: cassandraj (May 01, 2009 5:41 am)
#2143 of 2196 Re: Backup sensors 2005 ultra Rendezous [cassandraj] by tablescape May 01, 2009 (5:27 am)
Replying to: cassandraj (Apr 28, 2009 9:04 am) After 4 days at the dealer and giving them your suggestions still not fixed. This is the 3rd time it has been at the dealer trying to get the sensors fixed. I just hope they give me the $350 I paid the first time they said they were fixed. We are all giving up, it is always going to be a mystery.
