I have the same problem with an 03' CX AWD. Have you found a fix?

Well we are going to file on the lawsuits with GM and the awful mess that has cost us ongoing problems. Now the headgaskets all the hoses the battery cables and the surpentine belt a 2800 in a month and 3 days later the engine is knocking in which the mechanic says it threw a rod and did not pay the towing and it has set 2 weeks now not fixed. He will probably give us another bill and it wasnt doing the knocking before. I hate this crap car and will probably work xtra instead of having surgery to pay the trash vehicle off get rid of them now befor the warranty is up

I guess I should have checked out this site before buying the RDV.
Are all the problems I am reading about typical? First thing I did was to check the fluids in the car and the coolant tank was empty. Can't wait to see how long it holds anti-freeze!
Thanks
Tom

Hi, l know its been a year since your thread, but l am having the same problem with the gauge creeping to 3/4, but goes back to normal once the vehicle starts moving, took the vehicle to a tech, who said if the needle doesn't hit red, dont worry about it. Somehow l dont believe him, as my heart is in my mouth when the needle starts creeping up. Does anyone know if there is any truth, l dont want to get a big bill when l think the rad is going to explode. I seriously love this vehicle, as a whole have very much enjoy this vehicle and want to keep it in running good order
Thanks for any feedback and solutions

Well I took it to a mechanic about a year ago...he said the same thing, as long as it doesnt hit red, don't worry about it. He said the car starts to get hot and the thermostat opens up and cools it down. It has been like that for about a year now and I still have no problems with it overheating. GOOD LUCK

I have a 2003 Buick Rendezvous,started overheating took it to mechanic,he said don't worry about it ,it's just your coolant it is overfilled,so the problem got worst,so I took it to the Buick service dealer,they inform me,I have a blown head gasket GREAT $1,700 dollars to repair.I also have a Jeep Cherokee 1995 never had any problems like this with my Jeep.I will NEVER EVER purchase a GM car again and the sad thing my dad retired from GM. I think GM needs to have my vehicle repair.
