Question 1

I accidentally closed the rear hatch on some sort of wire and now I can't get the hatch open again. I am unable to pull the piece of wire that it closed on out. How do I fix this? Thanks so much.!

Here's what you can try to open the hatch of your 2004 Buick Rendezvous:

Open the hatch and slip a screwdriver's shaft into the opening of the latch (simulating that the latch has engaged the metal bar on the floor of the SUV).

Apply pressure in the latch via the shaft of the screwdriver. While pulling against the latch, operate the unlock button of the fob or unlock with the key (whichever your truck has) .

If this doesn't work, you may want to consider taking your car to a professional mechanic or a Buick dealership for further assistance. But here is video on how to remove a window, if that servers any help. Door Window Removal And Installation Buick Rendezvous (youtube.com)

Can't get the gas cap off on my 2004 Buick Rendezvous, without using a spanner pliers. What is the remedy for this problem?

Are you pushing down on the gas cap while you turn it, if not try that.

Problems opening the gas cap for removal when gassing up my 2004 Buick Rendezvous. Just bought a new cap and same problem, won't open

If the cap is hard to remove, this is a common problem with older GMs. The mating surface at the end of the filler tube becomes slightly corroded and is sticking to the rubber seal on the cap. Plug the filler tube with a rag (to avoid any explosive hazard), clean the mating surface with lacquer thinner, gently buff it with crocus cloth and try that. If it still sticks, lubricate the cap rubber seal with a thin coat of a lubricant (ONLY one approved for rubber/plastic materials).

How do you know it is the cluster, I think not. I think it is the gas tank fuel level sending unit that is the problem here.

Have to mash gas pedal on 2007 buick rendezvous to crank, after starting it will idle fine but sometimes die for no apparent reason, what would cause this?

Test your fuel pressure for leak down while sitting.. It should hold 52-59 psi... If not it could be a weak fuel pump..Also test the fuel pressure regulator to see if its leaking gas into the vacuum lines.. Alot of times you can do this by running the vehicle then leaving it set for 45 min and then removing the vacuum line at the fuel regulator and checking for wetness... If its wet with fuel its leaking and needs replaced..

If the brake pads are cheap ones there is your problem. cheap pads can squeal, chatter, and wear out really fast

Don't tighten it tight. Just snug it.A little grease on the threads may help also. don-ohio (:^)

Randy Rosenberger Apr 12, 2017

Thanks so much Don, as I just put the cap on and turn to snug a quarter turn clockwise, and it works just fine now. No need to turn clockwise until it clicks 3 or more times. Just on and quarter turn clockwise and it is snug and that is all it needed. Much appreciated, Don!

You're welcome,Randy! Glad it works okay without wearing you out.
It just seems today like everything....soda pop or bottled water lids, bathroom handles, milk jug lids, just a lot of things are harder to operate and don't have the smoothness of the products of years ago. don-ohio (:^)
