NHTSA CRASH TEST RESULTS
See all Safety Rating Results
| Overall Safety Rating |
Frontal crash ratings: Driver: No Test Passenger: No Test Side crash ratings: Driver: No Test Rear Passenger: No Test Results based on a 35 MPH frontal crash and 38.5 MPH side crash. Results are reported in a range of one to five stars, with five stars indicating the best crash protection for vehicles within the same weight class. This test used driver and passenger belts and airbags. NHTSA ROLLOVER RESISTANCE RATING:  The Rollover Resistance Rating is an estimate of your risk of rolling over if you have a single vehicle crash. It does not predict the likelihood of that crash. The Rollover Resistance Rating essentially measures vehicle characteristics of center of gravity and track width to determine how "top-heavy" a vehicle is. The more "top-heavy" the vehicle, the more likely it is to roll over. The lowest rated vehicles (1-star) are at least four times more likely to roll over than the highest rated vehicles (5-stars). |
2003 Buick Rendezvous Review
"A DVD rear-seat video system is a new option for 2003, while front side airbags are no longer standard on the least-expensive version of this crossover SUV. Rendezvous shares its basic structure with the Pontiac Aztek, but is four inches longer to allow 3rd-row seating. Like Aztek, it's based on GM's front-wheel-drive minivans and uses a 3.4-liter V6 and automatic transmission. Rendezvous offers CX and uplevel CXL models, but with a choice of front-wheel drive with optional traction control or all-wheel drive without low-range gearing. Four-wheel disc brakes are standard. ABS is optional on the 2WD CX, standard on other models. Front side airbags are newly optional for the 2WD CX, but remain standard for '03 on other Rendezvous models. Second-row seating choices are 3-person split bench or optional twin buckets; both types have reclining backrests and move fore/aft. The optional 2-passenger 3rd-row seat folds flush with the floor. Other options include OnStar assistance, rear-obstacle detection, and head-up instrument display. The 3500-lb trailering package includes rear self-leveling suspension. Joining the options list along with the DVD system for '03 is XM satellite radio. "

Recalls Issued
| US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID | 02V222 |
|---|---|
| Number of Units Affected | 13,3221 |
| Summary | Certain passenger cars, minivans, and sport utility vehicles have an air bag inflator on the driver's side that could fracture at a weld during a deployment. Pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants, and the air bag cushion would not inflate fully, reducing the capability of the bag to protect the driver. |
| Remedy | Dealers will inspect and replace, if necessary, the air bag module assembly on the driver's side. The manufacturer reported that owner notification was expected to begin during September 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Buick at 1-800-521-7300, Cadillac at 1-800-458-8006, Chevrolet at 1-800-222-1020, GMC at 1-800-462-8782, Oldsmobile at 1-800-442-6537, or Pontiac at 1-800-762-2737. |
