Sounds to me like you need a front hub assembly, but you could also have a severely
bent rim

    My rendezvous awd was doing the same thing all i had to do was replace the tire but also it could be the hub bearing or you may need an alignmen it will act like that with any one of those three problems

Our 2002 did the same thing. Easy cheap fix! Pull the wheel off and check the wiring that goes to the wheel sensor. You will find after removing a few inches of wrap, a broken wire or two. This could be on either wheel, so check both. Fix the wires back up and you are good to go. Hope this helps!

SOURCE: 2002 buick rendezvous "awd disable"

The most common cause for this problem that I see is a failed rear "Differential oil flow valve". You would need someone to hook up to the vehicle with a scan tool and retrieve the service code to know for sure but the valve is usually the culprit in most cases. There may be a code that says something like "rear axle over temp condition" and this relates to the valve problem. There are other things that can cause the AWD light to come on so it's always good to check first before replacing parts as the valve is fairly expensive. Good luck, hope this helps!

Testimonial: "Thanks for your help. You confirmed the advice I received from my "shade tree" mechanic. the 2002 Buick Rendezvous has many problems."

SOURCE: Buick Rendezvous AWD Disabled light is at all

There is a solenoid on the rear differential that is very common to fail. If you call you GM dealer and tell them you need the rear diff actuator they will now exactly what you are talking about.

Hi I have a 2003 Buick rendezvous and it's shaking when I reach 70 mph what could this be?

Sounds likely to be a wheel out of balance or damaged, or possibly a faulty tyre. Ask to have the wheels checked / balanced at a good garage or tyre shop.

Front end shakes heavily when making right hand turns and when the car reaches a speed of 40 mph and continues to shakes well into the 70 mph zone. I have replaced the outer tie rods because a shop told me...

You don't have the year or anything on your post, but i'm assuming it's front wheel drive, and your problem is likely CV joints. You will have to replace them. The easiest way is to buy half shafts. That would explain the shaking when you turn right, but as for the shaking up to 70, you either have a wheel out of balance, or bent rim, or a tire that has gone out of shape.
