I don't think that any states lemon laws will still cover this car. I believe it had to have been defective in the first years it was on the road. Unfortunately for all of us who own/owned this vehicle it didn't really crap the bed till the lemon laws were expired. You can write a letter to GM, be sure to send it to the office of the CEO, and your dealership has an amount of " good faith" $ and they may be willing to help you out. I was able to get my wheel bearings fixed for free 2 times before they were recalled.
The fact remains that the ONLY way to stop paying for repairs on this vehicle is to ditch it. EVEN if that means you pay for it without owning it. Seriously, it would be cheaper to make the payments than to pay for the repairs. I had to get rid of mine at 37,000 miles...a 2002! That thing should have run forever. I was lucky enough that my GM dealership was part of a Subaru dealership also, so that is what I drive now, and have never been happier. Good luck to you, I know how frustrating and sad this is.

I'm also with you. I was just told this morning that my head gasket was blown and am going to need 2000.00 dollars just to fix it. Then I need to figure out what caused it to blow!!! I've also had the wheel bearings replaced! I have 1 more year to pay on my piece of shit!!!

If there is a class action suit, I am in. This car is a nightmare, I have same prob with my 2002 RDV CXL, now with 114,000. Bought used in 2004 with 29,000 miles from a Buick dealer. This car has cost me more money than all my prior 4 cars, Izuzu Rodeo, Volvo turbo, Mercedes Sedan, and used Mercedes, all over a 34 year period.
First year the AC compressor went, out of town dealer charged $2000.
Then rotors, many other problems, then in Aug 2008, the engine head gaskets had been leaking, car overheated, dealer repaired engine for $3000, also same time the right driver window repaired motor for $550., then another window repair for $500.
The service manager at Glenn Buick talked to the Buick rep, and they said Tough, its not under warrenty. The dealer knows all the repairs he made on this car for me.
Now the AWD disable light on for two months, dealer charged $95 to tell me I need a new hub and sensors to repair problem, and it will be almost $600.
This car has cost me so much I cannot afford another car.
I bought it to be a good American citizen and buy an American car, turned out after I bought it, found out it was made in Mexico. I did not know there was anyone left in Mexico to work.

Sign me up, this 2002 RDV CXL has cost me a fortune. August the dealer repaired head gaskets badly leaking, overheating, for over $2000. Two broken window motors, over $500 each, NOW, the AWD disable light is on, and the dealer charged $95 to tell me I need new hub and sensors to repair this for another $600.
Why has this car not been recalled.
I bought American car to be good American, never again. Toyota here I come.

Before they change the hub, I would ask them to check the integrity of the wireing to it. Many times it is a connection problem and not the sensor itself thats bad.

Thank you so much for the reply, I will do that about checking the wiring. I am all about getting a second opinion. Just trying to find a reputible car repair place to take it to.
I could have bought a Santa Fe, but NO, I was a Realtor at the time and thought I needed a large posh car with leather seats. What a mistake.
