Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My husband and i purchased a vehicle from little apple toyota in manhattan, ks on june 2, 2006. the vehicle we purchased was a 2003 buick rendezvous and this was done through toyota motor credit corporation. we explained to the gentlemen named tim that we would be making a few trips back and forth from kansas to texas. also, my husband wanted peace of mind with him deploying to iraq that we would be safe. we were informed by him that this vehicle would be accepted even under the miles progam and that our vehicle would meet and exceed those. we took it for a test drive and heard some grinding and he said that they would put on new brakes that this was probably the cause. so anyway we have it a year to date and i am making a trip to kansas when it goes haywire. i take it to little apple who will not help me and they send it to stagg hill transmission who tells me it's going to be $4,000 for a new transmission and that all my wheel bearings needed replaced, but they won't be able to fix that. i guess bottom line is that no one wants to make good on a vehicle that we have only had for 1 year. the transmission shouldn't just go out at 24,000 miles. i went to a site and found others complaining of similar problems with their buick rendezvous. i think they need to be looked into more carefully. i wouldn't recommend anyone buy one. now i am stranded, car less, and my husband is deployed and can't help take care of the issues. i would like the buick rendezvous 2003 investigated. *tr
