2002 Buick Rendezvous Steering Problems

STEERING WHEEL FLUID WAS EMPTYING OUT RAPIDLY, IT WAS REPLACED. START DRVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE CAR STEERINF FROZE I COULD NOT STEER IT. MADE IT OFF THE ROAD MECHANIC PUT IT ON THE LIFT HE TOLD ME THAT THE RACK AND PION WAS GONE ON BOTH SIDES WHICH IS VERY DANGEROUS AND VERY EXPENSIVE JOB. I HEARD NOTHING ABOUT A RECALL. *TR

BODY CONTROL MODULE WENT OUT. HAD TO FIND THE ANSWER ON GOOGLE SO THE DEALER COULD FIX IT (HEADLIGHTS AND DASH CONTROLS WENT ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT) $650 FRONT SEAT INOP DEALER STILL DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG $? GAS GAUGE INOP DEALER STILL DOES NOT KNOW WHAT'S WRONG $? CATALYTIC CONVERTER WENT OUT THIS MONTH ALSO COST $850 WATER PUMP $25 O2 SENSOR BANK 1 AND 2 - $145 MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR- $104 FUEL FILTER- $11 STEERING RACK AND PINION- $195 TOTAL $1980 ALL THESE THINGS HAPPENED IN ONE MONTH. I HATE THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS. GETTING RID OF AS SOON AS I CAN. *TR

2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS OTHERWISE KNOWN AS THE MONEY PIT. SEEMS THAT AS USUAL OUR LATEST EXPENSE (101,000) IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALLS, DUE TO THE MANUFACTURING DATE OF THE VEHICLE. SMELLED GAS FOR A WEEK, THEN NOTICED GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATING, NEVER SHOWING EMPTY EVEN THOUGH TRIP ODOMETER SHOWED IT HAD ALMOST AN EMPTY TANK. MECHANIC STATED CRACK IN THE FUEL TANK, BUT CAR WAS MANUFACTURED BEFORE THE RECALL DATE, SO BUICK DID NOT COVER THE COST OF REPAIRS. HAVE RECENTLY ALSO EXPERIENCED LOSS OF ALL POWER TO CIGARETTE LIGHTERS, DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW FELL DOWN AND ENTIRE REGULATOR UNIT WAS REPLACED. BACK HATCH HANDLE FELL OFF, AGAIN. REARVIEW MIRROR ALSO FELL OFF. AC FAN WILL NO LONGER BLOW AT HIGHEST SETTING. THESE ARE ALL MINOR COMPARED TO THE FAULTY ABS SENSOR, LOSS OF TRACTION CONTROL, AC CONDENSER, TIE RODS, 2 REPLACED BATTERIES, FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS, ROTORS. AND THOSE REPAIRS ARE JUST FROM THE LAST 3 YEARS.... *TR
