Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: I bought my 02 buick rendezvous in oct of 05. it had 53k. i just hit 90k the largest part is highway miles from this passed year with several deaths in my family. to start with my passenger floor would get soaked. at first i thought the window was left down or the sunroof was leaking. i checked and the rubber is still intact and i can spray water on the roof and nothing leaks in. the tract around the sunroof is not wet. one morning my on star system had water dripping from it but no water was felt around the sun roof and the windshield sits below it. this had been going on since i got the car. now within the past 6 months everything on the car is failing. my driver door will not lock with the remote. this is a 300 motor. my coolant disappears from reserve with no sign of leaking. i had the check engine light come on and the first day off i had to go get it checked it went off. my ac stopped working. i have 3 kids and no ac in 100 weather suxs. had it charged and within 2 weeks back to no ac now after weeks of research i am finding out that the intake gaskets on this motor are made from nylon and the dex cool that is said to be used in it can eat them prematurely. i have been stranded on the highway because my car was over heating. the ac condenser is also known to go out regular. i just bought brand new tires in may and had the alignment done. i noticed that the front of my car has began to shake and the front left tire is ate up. i am wondering if this is the bearing problem that this vehicle was recalled for. i am not understanding why the government is not forcing gm to recall this vehicle. my research has found hundreds if not thousands of these problems. a class action lawsuit in canada not including the recall that canada has forced over this exact yr and model. i still owe a lot of money on this car and my repairs are almost more then what i owe. *jb
