This condition may be caused by a worn, oversized pressure regulator valve bore in the valve body causing line pressure to leak into the exhausted port just under the transmission vent. Recommendation/Instructions If transmission fluid is encountered, please inspect the transmission for the following conditions: 1. Transmission fluid level overfilled. Refer to Transmission Fluid Level and Condition Check in SI. 2. Incorrect fluid level indicator. 3. Water or coolant in the fluid (fluid may appear milky in color). 4. Plugged or damaged vent. 5. Transmission case porous in the area of the vent. 6. Case cover assembly (Channel Plate) not torqued properly. 7. Case cover assembly gasket installed incorrectly. Note If the cause of the fluid leak was not found after performing the inspection listed above, replace the valve body..

As part of its mission to reduce fatalities and injuries, since model year 2001 NHTSA has included rollover information as part of its NCAP ratings. One of the primary means of assessing rollover risk is the static stability factor (SSF), a measurement of a vehicle’s resistance to rollover. The higher the SSF, the lower the rollover risk.

  • Studio Still Life / Rendezvous 2004
    THE SPIRIT OF AMERICAN STYLE It is flair without flamboyance. Art without artifice. Luxury without apology. It’s the flash of sun off a curve of chrome. The shine of paint that looks a foot deep. The glow of fine leather. It is the calm of a quiet cabin. And the thrill of a finely tuned engine at full song. It’s physicality informed by philosophy. The security of careful engineering and assembly. The satisfaction of well-thought details. The idea of elegance with intelligence. The Spirit of American Style is the ethos of legendary designer Harley Earl beautifully interpreted for a new age. It is the heritage and the heart of Buick. Now come see how that spirit is offered in the 2004 Rendezvous. Studio still life /Rendezvous 2004 4 A word about this brochure: Some features shown throughout this brochure are available at extra cost. 4 AN AMERICAN ORIGINAL. American triptych Sometimes a vehicle will appear that simply defies conventional categorization. Is it a minivan? No way, too much strength in the styling. So is it an SUV? Can’t be, it rides like a luxury sedan. Well then, a luxury sedan? Out of the question. It’ll carry up to seven adults. When a vehicle crosses over those three categories, and looks great doing it, that’s more than just innovation at work. That’s American originality. That’s Rendezvous, where the styling and capabilities of an SUV, the ride and comfort of a luxury sedan and the seating capacity of a minivan are offered in one very intelligent and very versatile vehicle.

  • Buick Rendezvous
    07 BUICK RENDEZVOUS These days, people are demanding a high level of comfort, style and functionality in everything they buy. Which is why crossover vehicles are growing ever more popular. And, just as world-class designers differentiate the best from the rest, Buick has deftly separated Rendezvous from the others in its genre. Rather than settling for a ride that felt average, our engineers were compelled to endow Rendezvous with the classic comfort of a Buick sedan. Rendezvous’ SUV style was complemented by a powertrain meticulously engineered to deliver performance with responsible fuel economy.* And, in addition to all its minivan functionality, Buick employed the QuietTuning process to transform the cabin into a sanctuary from the outside world. Rendezvous. It’s the crossover vehicle that overachieves. *Estimated MPG 19 city, 26 hwy. Official EPA estimates not yet available. Estimates based on GM testing.
