We recently bought a 2002 Buick Rendevous and have had nothing but problems with it. Now, it is going crazy. When you are driving it the dash lights, headlights, and radio will all go off and on. The alarm will just start going off for no reason. The other night the locks kept continuously unlocking. Anyone have and similar problems or suggestions? We are trying to wait to take it in b/c our Disney vacation is in less then a month! Any help would be greatly appreciated :thumbsup:

Did you buy it certified pre-owned or just used? I'm just wondering if you have some recourse if something is wrong. 2002 was the first year for that vehicle so I wouldn't be surprised if there were a lot of quirks with it. Did you research it before you bought it? I think your best bet would be to search around online for user reviews/comments and make sure the vehicle is up to date with all recalls.

I have an 2001 Pontiac Aztek, which is essentially the same vehicle. What it sounds like is you're Body Control Module (BCM) is going/has gone bad. (It is essentially your car's brain.) I know that they had a bad batch of them for the early Azteks, but I am not sure about the Rendezvous. At any rate, those symptoms are classic for a BCM gone bad. They can be pricey to replace, $300+ if memory serves, but don't hold me to that. It is something that has to be done at the dealers because it must be programed for your specific vehicle.
Good luck!
