On 12/24/2007 the right rear power window on my 2002 buick lesabre broke. It was repaired at a buick dealership on 12/28/2007. This is the third power window to break. The right front window broke on 6/28/2007 and the left rear window broke on 12/4/2007. These windows all broke in the down position, so a repair is necessary. All window had very few operations. I would estimate no more than 100 operations for the front windows and no more than 50 operations for the rear windows. The reliability of the windows should be based on operations and not mileage. *tr

Fuel pump failed with no scan codes displayed to the issues. Replaced fuel pump. Car started after two cranks. Drove the car for two days. While parking in the driveway the car stalled and would not restart. Fortunate this did not happen on the interstate. You would think a new fuel pump would last over a couple of days. *tr

On 9/30/2007, i rolled my driver's side window down to pay for parking at bwi airport. The window would not go back up. I picked up some friends and we headed to baltimore maryland where we had a reservation for lunch. The highway had been scored for future re-surfacing, so there was more debris than usual. A passing car kicked up a stone and it went past my head and hit my passenger in the back seat at 60 mph. Fortunately, it didn't hit anyone in their eye or else their injury would have been serious and required medical attention. *tr

Shortly after purchasing my 2002 buick rendezvous in 2007, the gas gauge stopped working. It had 84,000 miles. Coincidentally my co-worker's 2002 rendezvous did the same thing. Because of the broken gauge i have run out of gas on the road. *tr

Both of the regulators in the front doors of my vehicle have failed. This has cause the pane in the window to slide inside of the door. The first one did it while driving on the interstate while vacationing in ohio in may of this year. The second when i arrived at work one morning. I called the buick cs line to report it, before i knew of other consumers who have experienced the same problem. I was advised to take it in to a gm dealership to have the problem diagnosed yet the only thing i was told by a tech there was that they had seen this problem before but never in my type vehicle. Well i know of two others with rendezvous as well as rainier and le sabers. I went online and filed a complaint on the buick website and still have not been contacted with a solution. I feel this is a factory defect and should be repaired at no cost to the consumer. Especially if buick has seen this problem in several vehicles. Even with possibility of this being dangerous to myself and my children, it is not even affordable for a single parent like me to have it repaired. The parts are not available outside of a gm repair facility. *tr
