Just today, my driver side window fell down on my 2002 rdv. it had been rattling if the window was down and i closed the door, so i was expecting something. I'm not very mechanical, but I found the following site that shows how to fix it. http://www.teamneon.com/buick/
the website says to order them, but it takes 7 days. I'm checking with the dealer tomorrow. if the car would be just half reliable, it would be a nice car. i bought it used 3 years ago. it only has 67,000 miles.

replacing the fuel pump worked for me. the camshaft is inside the engine. You can't see it without taking major parts off. Try to find someone that knows just a little about cars. There are so many possibilites. they could narrow it down. does the engine turnover? if not, could be the starter.

2002 Buick Rendezvous now stuck in securtiy mode! Service lights and dash lights flash on and off. AC radio everything dims then sounds like power goes out and on again. this happens every three to five munites. I have taken it to the shop. They told me to take it to the dealer I can't get rid of the stupid car I still owe on it and I can't fix it right now cause money is tight and I just paid $900 in the last 3 moonths fixing things that could of been the problem! Why hasn't BUICK recalled this junk! Can anyone direct me to get help to fix it or something!

I recently bought my 2002 RDV with 92K miles... I wish i would have found this forum before i made this purchase. I have the ABS brakes problem slipping, grinding noises, applying themselves when I am on the gas and not the brake peddle, etc... I read in here about pulling the ABS fuse. I looked in my manual and found multiple fuses, now I am not sure which one to pull, or if I have to pull them all:
Mini Fuse 6 - ABS Control Module
Mini Fuse 9 - ABS Solenoid Valves
J-Style Fuse 36 - ABS Motor
Can someone tell me which fuse(s) to pull in order to disable the ABS?

If the brakes are being applied while your foot is in gas tank it sounds more like traction control is being engaged, usually because it thinks tires are slipping.

Well, i just tried first experiment, I pulled Mini Fuse 6 - ABS Control Module fuse. Started the car, and dash lights up message ABS Disabled, and the warning beeper in the car beeps constantly and does not shut off. Obviously I cannot drive like this.
I plugged the fuse back in.

My sister bought a Honda Oddasee and had to replace all the brakes and tires after 10K miles... not under warranty... my Buick brakes lasted 42K and my original tires lasted 60K... total repairs for my Buick Rendezvous for 8 years 90K in Pgh ... $101.
While my sister continues to repair and replace parts in her Honda and see paid $10K more than my Buick.

First of all, you claim is wrong unless your sister bought old honda odyssey....Any new car regardless of brand is covered under warranty if you have drove only 10k miles unless normal wear and tear. Paid 10K more???? Unbelievable.. Did she donate some money when she bought her Odyssey? unless you comparing to way higher end model with lower end model.
And your another Biggest lie, Buick introduced Rendezvous in 2002. How did you get 8 years old Rendezvous????? Plain & Simple, Get your fact right first...there is no credibility in your post.

The Rendezvous was introduced in the spring of '01 as a 2002 model per Wikipedia.
Let's calm down a bit and stick to talking about the cars please.
