Is Your Buick Rendezvous Shifting Erratically?
Experiencing harsh shifts, getting stuck in gear, or seeing a persistent check engine light in your 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous can be incredibly frustrating. These are classic signs that the brain of your automatic transmission, the Transmission Control Module (TCM), is failing. Don’t let a faulty module compromise your family SUV’s reliability and safety. This pre-programmed T42 TCM is the definitive, hassle-free solution to get your vehicle driving smoothly and dependably once again.
Common Symptoms & Your Solution
If you’re noticing any of the following issues, a failing TCM is the likely culprit. This module is engineered to resolve these exact problems:
- Harsh or Delayed Shifting: Abrupt, jerky gear changes or a long pause before the transmission engages.
- Limp Mode: The vehicle feels sluggish and won’t shift out of a single gear (often 2nd or 3rd) as a protective measure.
- Warning Lights: The Check Engine Light or a specific transmission warning light is illuminated on your dash.
- Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTCs): Your mechanic finds codes like P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction), P0750, or other solenoid-related faults.
- Poor Performance: A noticeable drop in fuel economy or the transmission seems to be overheating.
Installing this professionally programmed 2006-2007 Buick Rendezvous Transmission Control Module directly addresses the root cause, restoring crisp, correct shifting and clearing persistent fault codes for good.

Expert Insight: Why VIN Programming is Non-Negotiable
Think of the TCM as a translator between your engine and transmission. A generic, non-programmed module from a salvage yard or a big-box store doesn’t speak your vehicle’s specific language. It doesn’t know the exact tire size, axle ratio, or engine parameters of your Buick. This mismatch leads to the same poor shifting and error codes you started with. Our VIN-specific programming loads the latest GM software tailored perfectly to your Rendezvous, making it a true plug-and-play fix that works correctly the first time.
