| I have a 2002 buick rendezvous and when you turn the ignition switch to the start position the starter clicks and the gauges and radio and lights on dash loose power and it takes a few seconds to reset and then if you do it a couple more times it takes about 5 minutes to reset what would cause this | |

So saturday morning i started up my 04 Buick Rendezvous and the idle was about 2000rpms at Park and drive. It took alot of pressure to slow and stop the car and surged off the line as soon as the brake was let go. In netural it would jump to 3000. while driving it will stay about 1700-2000rpms. I replaced the air filter and the RPM's went down to 700-800 in all gears. That last until tuesday and now it's back up to the saturday problem. On saturday i took off the mass air flow assembly and it looked very clean and so did the throttle body. I did notice that the PCV valve had oil on it?? Is that normal. I wiped it off, it still has a lot of suction. My cheaper fix is to replace the throttle position sensor $35 at autozone, instead of the $100 for the Mass Air Flow assembly. Any advice is welcome.

I have had the same engine stall problem with my 2006 RDV since May (2008) (it's now July 28 2008. It happened twice in May, so we unfortunately were too scared to drive it to North Carolina on vacation for fear it would happen again. It just happened again this past Friday afternoon, so I took it right in to the dealership. The first two times they couldn't find anything wrong with it. They had it for 2 days the 1st time and 5 days the 2nd time, but couldn't find anything and couldn't get it to happen again for them. Thinking back, each time it stalls, I am going at a slower speed of either turning a corner, or just putting along in rush hour traffic, or even slowing down for a stop light. Luckily, I'm able to get it started again and get to a safe place. The last time I was able to restart it a couple of times in order to get it to a partking lot and call the tow truck. I was afraid I would either be on the highway or in a lot of traffic and would cause an accident if I didn't get out of the way. Right now they've had it for 3 days and so far can't find anything wrong with it. The one thing that really made me mad is that I had to call them to get an update because I hadn't heard a word from the maintence dept!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel that this is very poor service, and I will be complaining to the management!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Replying to: rendezvous1 (Jun 24, 2008 12:53 pm) I am going through the same thing with my 04 Rendezvous. It is a very intermittent problem. Had almost 100,000 on it when the problem started. This is the only grief the car has given me. Very reliable and gets 23mpg on the hiway. Did you fix your problem and if so, how??? |

Hey, I have the same problem with my 2003. It only occurs if the engine is hot or the car has been running. If i turn off the engine, I can start it, but it will quickly stall on me. It seems that this is the same problem that many of you have. Has anyone found anyways to correct it? I took it to the dealership twice and they haven't been able to find whats wrong. Thanks, Nick

Update -- not long after making my post regarding my 2006 Buick RDV, the dealership mechanics ended up replacing the "fuse block". It was there another week before they decided that the was problem. They could never get it to stall on them so that they could see the problem. We had it up until 10/1/08, and we got a great deal on a new Ford Taurus X (their new crossover), and I love it. My lease wasn't up until March 2009, but they bought out my lease, and I still got a great price for all of the options I wanted. The Buick was very reliable for almost all of the 2.5 years that I had it, so I wouldn't comdemn it, but all I can say is thank goodness for warranties!!!!!!!!! |

I had 2 yrs of issues and intermitten problems - Turning it on and it craked but would not start and one time it stalled at 75mph on the Free way - very bad. Was in one shop three times and finally replaced ignition module that helped, but then it happened again and they could not find a problem. Past summer it would not start - ended up being the Fuel pump 40, 000 miles on the car. So i'm thinking was it really a bad fuel pump for the past 3 yrs I had it. So maybe its your fuel pump too. By the way, the fuel pump has been modified since production so the dealer had to get the part from GM. Another thing it always turned slow - replaced the battery - much better now Good luck.
