2005 Buick Rendezvous My car sounds like a truck

Hello –

To better assist you is your model a CX, CXL, or Ultra? Also please tell me your engine size in liter and the 8th digit of your VIN.

When was the last time you replaced your tires?

How many miles are on them and when was the last time you had them balanced?

I have a CX and the 8th digit of the VIN is 2. I have not replaced the tires or had them balanced since I bought the car in 2007.

Hello –

I would start with the tires first. Tires should be balanced and rotated on a regular basis. They can be extremely noisy and cause vibration when worn.

I am not saying it may be something else, but the first place to check is the tires. Now I would check the tires and if close, change but before you put them on get the car aligned.

I have attached some links for you to review.

Does this help or do you have other questions.

Hello - Also, it looks like you may have some recalls on your vehicle. The dealer may fix these for free. Please contact the dealer service department, give them the VIN number of your car and have them check on these to see if they apply to you.
