Letter from senator nelson on behalf of constituent re 2005 Buick Rendezvous defects. The consumer stated a bolt in the steering broke. After she paid to have it fixed, a recall was issued six months later.

When turning into my driveway the engine shuts off losing all steering. This has happened several times in the past (since 2009) usually when turning right from a stop sign or turning right into my driveway.

Pulling out of parking lot of a medical center off of rt. # 486 in lecanto, florida. . . Onto a side street. Car totally died. I could not move it. I could not steer. I could not start the car back up. I had to call for towing. Repair facility said it was the ignition switch. The same thing happened a few months earlier in lecanto, florida in a carwash. . . Could not move forward or backward. Called for a tow. The repair facility said it was a link assembly. I am very afraid this car will stop in the middle of a busy road and have a vehicle crash into the back of me. I can not find it on a recall list, but I see gm has recalled vehicles for faulty ignition switches which have caused fatalities. Ml.

The Buick was my previous vehicle and it would just stall while I was driving. It only happened a few times, but was almost the result of an accident two times. I did have it looked at and the dealership tested it several times, but never found a cause. I don't know if you need to know this information, but I thought I would share in light what has been going on and I was surprised the Rendezvous wasn't listed as one of the vehicles with a problem. I know the dealership information, but I'm not sure how long they keep their records. The date I entered above is inaccurate. Feel free to contact me if you have any questions.

The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. The power steering constantly made a clicking sound whenever the steering wheel was turned. The vehicle was taken to a mechanic who repaired the vehicle for $400 approximately eight months ago. The failure recurred and the vehicle was return to the mechanic who told her that they could grease the parts again but it would not last much longer. She would have to replace the parts again. The dealer nor the manufacturer were contacted. The failure mileage was 53,000 and the current mileage was 55,000.

Buick 2005 Rendezvous constant loud whining or moaning noise when you turn the wheel regardless of speed. It is embarrassing. No one can figure it out. It has been ongoing for over a year now.
