#70 of 77 Question about Sagging Rear End by iceman Apr 23, 2009 (11:45 am)
Doe's anyone know if you can change the rear air ride out with a regular Trailblazer suspension. Because from what I can tell you should be able to you would just have to change out the air bags with a factory (Trailblazer) heavy duty spring for each side and then disconnect the air leveling sensors. Please any feed back would be helpful. Because at this point I don't care for the air ride I just won't my vehicle to sit level.

Replying to: adf2 (Apr 19, 2009 1:21 pm) Yeah i hear a thud but it feels like it comes from the engine or passengers side floor i think..I was told it could be two things. The engine. Or the truck shifting from four wheel drive to two wheel drive?? idk got me..Could mean oil change or something..If you live in the city like new york there are alot of pot holes, so my truck shifts into four wheel drive alot and back to normal, could be that too...just a thought..its what i was told and it does make some sense, but im no expert lol
#72 of 77 Buick Ranier by operator61 Jun 22, 2009 (3:51 am)
I have a 2004 Buick Ranier that has a tendancy to stall. It may not happen but, once a week or month. I'll just start it right back up. Taken it to repair shop, put on computor with no luck. I have heard that it could be the tourque converter solnoid. Anyone ever have this problem?

Replying to: operator61 (Jun 22, 2009 3:51 am) Yes I am currently having the same problem with mine and I have taken it to the dealership with little luck. Mine finally had set off a code saying it was the 02 sensor. So that part is on order and they are going to replace that part and hopefully it will fix the problem but I doubt it. This has been an ongoing problem for me for quiet a while. If you or any else knows how to fix this problem please post the "cure". Thank You.

Replying to: iceman (Jun 28, 2009 5:37 am) I also had the check engine light come on and everything pointed to the O2 sensor. I changed it out myself for approx. $56.00 and so far so good. Not to difficult to change. Will keep you informed. Replies to this message: iceman (Jul 12, 2009 2:55 pm)

#76 of 77 2004 Buick Rainier studder issue by brittanyc Jul 16, 2009 (3:51 pm)
Has anyone experienced a thud type of noise around 25 MPH on the 2004 Buick Rainier AWD and then around 30-35 MPH a studdering motion occurs. The dealer is looking into the problem but tells me the technical advice he received from GM is that it might be due to worn tires. The tires are not worn and this does not sound like it would be the problem. Has anyone else experienced these problems?
#77 of 77 '06 Rainer Front Differential by ms_assertive Oct 06, 2009 (5:23 pm)
In Dec '08 while pulling up to a stop sign, my Rainier experienced a severe "clunk" which shook the SUV and then a burning smell developed. I pulled off the road & had it towed to the dealer because the smell was so bad. Turned out the front differential had to be replaced to the tune of over $2,000. The dealer footed the bill since I had brought it in twice that year for differential issues. It's now 30,000 miles later and guess what...the differential needs to be replaced again and neither the dealer nor Buick is willing to pony up. I can't afford $2,500 repairs every 30,000 miles. Anyone else experiencing differential issues or am I just that unlucky? All recommended service work was performed in the interim...
