It is an unfortunate fact that since moving to area federal hill this vehicle and driver has been illegally surveillanced the car has been broken into with no signs of forced entry. As usual the billboard is visible for locals to observe. My only issue is waiting to act. The vehicle is legal with no visible or internal issues. I drive the vehicle at a safe speed to avoid traffic accidents. There was a state inspection failure with no real reason, another issue. Cars have specifically attempted to run me off the road. From bwi to downtown baltimore.
I had about $1700 worth of work done to the underneath of my vehicle. . . The lights such as service engine soon and abs keep coming on. . . I had to put my brakes on and the anti lock brakes came on and I tried to press on the gas to go and it cut the power drastically on me little to none but if I lift my foot back up and I try to start agian it allows me to drive but then if I need to go up a hill or pass someone it loses the power when I put the gas pedal more than a 3rd of the way down. And it will not stop doing this. . I am extremely concerned as no mechanic seems to know how to fix this and I live on a fixed income and need my car to get around.
Rear hatch assist strap has been replaced for the 3rd time. Each time time strap has broken unexpectedly causing the person to lose his balance and fall.
I parked my car in a lot. 2 hours later, I went to start it and it wouldn't even turn over . Someone gave me a jump start and it started immediately. A few hours later, same thing. Nix morning however, it started fine. Battery was tested and works normal. Replaced starter and cylanoid. Same problem and nothing changed. I decided to check the fuses. All of them ok. I found that if I remove one of the fuses and use a paper clip in 2 of the 4 openings, it starts the car in the on position. Security light comes on too.
The fuel line runmig from the engine to the fuel filter got a slow leak in it, filled the inside of the SUV with fumes and we had to pull over to air out the car then the fuel line split and fell off and gas spilled out and overcome the inside of the car with fumes. When repaired immediately, the mechanic determined the line accumulated excessive moisture and heat and caused it to break when it got hot several times.
Traveling on highway, roads were wet but not icy. Hit a wet spot on a curve. Slid slightly to the right and passenger tire dropped off pavement. Easily corrected back onto the road, but then the back hydroplaned and the vehicle rolled over and crashed, landing upside down in a culvert. Driver and front seat passenger transported to local hospital via squad. Vehicle totaled by insurance. None of the airbags deployed.
This has happened quite a few times when I am traveling. The ignition sticks when I try to start the car, when I turn the key on to start it, the ignition sticks and it won't start it just keeps turning over. It's very scary, it has even happened when I am not traveling, when the car is just sitting in my driveway and I am going somewhere try to start it and the ignition sticks.
Abs light and awd disable, brakes locking up.
The speedometer stops working correctly. While traveling at highway speeds the speedometer will read anywhere between below 0 mph and 30 mph. It happens regardless of the weather. There have been multiple occurances that the speedometer is working correctly, (confirmed by calculations using time, mile markers & odometer readings,) and at any point during travel it will stop and the needle is observed to gradually drop below the 0 mph mark. Sometimes restarting, whether by turning off the ignition or using the autostart to remove the key while leaving the vehicle running, will temporarily correct the problem. The problem was noted by an independent mechanic at the end of September while addressing potential transmission issues. (which also has not been resolved. The mechanic was unable to find a cause to "hard shift" problem that began several months ago. ) the currently mileage on the vehicle is approximately 81,200 miles. It is being taken to a mechanic this week to address the issue.
The steering grinds and the power brakes dont stop unless you pump them when this happens,its not all the time,and the shifting gear broke while I was parked trying to put it into reverse. My name is linda k sellers,514 se gardens blvd,apt 127,burleson,TX 76028,817-295-0168 VIN 3g5db03e24s514117,ss 465047054.
I purchased my Buick Rendezvous in 2007 from my mother who only had it 2 years. Since I purchased this vehicle, I have had 8 wheelbearings replaced, and 2 hub assemblies, along with the wiring harness for the abs. The vehicle will sometimes 'rub' when turning the steering wheel, or sometimes the brakes will 'rub'. After this happens, the abs light comes on as well as the awd disabled light. I had purchased the extended warranty, and that covered the wheelbearing issues, and one of the hub assembly fixes. I think I have spent more on repairs for this vehicle in the past 6 years then I paid to buy it. Not a year goes by that I dont have to have something replace in order for it to pass inspection. My vehicle now has 118000 miles on it.
