Engine Belts And Pulleys Problems of Buick Rendezvous

I was driving my vehicle on the freeway going 70 miles per hour and all the sudden my vehicle had pretty much came to a complete stop and if I hadn't had my seatbelt on, I probably would have went through the windshield.

The contact owns a 2003 Buick Rendezvous. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle shook and stalled and the battery light illuminated. The contact coasted the vehicle to the side of the road, restarted the vehicle, and resumed driving. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed, but the technician could not find a failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was taken a fourth time to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the battery, alternator, and serpentine belt needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 215,000.

On, Thursday, July 9th 2005, I tried to start my vehicle, it started but the ignition seemed to keep trying to start. None of the start up lights worked (oil, brake, service engine, seat belt), so I knew something was wrong. I turned the engine off and tried restarting it and it wouldn't start. I kept trying to start it for about 10 minutes. I finally gave up and went inside. I came back out and tried to start it again about 15 minutes later and it started up just fine and everything was working inside. On Monday, July 13th 2005, I tried to start it and nothing happened. I waited about 10 minutes and it started right up like nothing was ever wrong. I feel like there's a problem with the ignition somewhere. I'm afraid of what will happen if the car stalls while I'm driving it. The abs seems to come and go as it pleases as well, I don't know if there have been any complaints about that.

At any given speed the "reduced engine power" light comes on and the car comes to a complete stop. There is no power steering, etc. It's extremely dangerous because of being able to get the car off the road. I am reduced to driving on the service road and still do not feel safe. Interstate is out of the question. After reading many reviews regarding repairs, I am not inclined to spend a tremendous amount of money for repairing a car that obviously no one can repair. I believe the manufacturer should be responsible for recalling this car. It's extremely dangerous and I cannot believe there have been no fatalities due to the fact at any given time the vehicle loses power. I noticed there was a recall on seat belts, believe me that is minor compared to the terror of being on an interstate or secondary road with grandchildren and the engine on your car completely stops. Please intervene on behalf of myself and countless others. Obviously this vehicle is not safe for anyone to drive. I will be parking mine because from what I have read it appears this problem is a factory one and the mechanics cannot repair these cars. Thank you for your time and consideration and hopefully with enough input the manufacturer will begin recalling the Rendezvous and make it a safe vehicle. By the way, on one occasion I started the car, and while still in our garage, "reduced engine power" light came on. Thankful I was still in my garage that day. Shortly after trying a few times, the car started, then on the way to pick up grandchildren, died again on a two-lane road and had to find a tiny area to pull off. I am not in a position to buy another car. I haven't been able to read where anyone has actually had their car repaired. I bought this car especially for driving my 4 grandchildren. I'm 72 and now unable to have that pleasure due to the danger of stopping.

I was driving the vehicle to an appointment and all of a sudden it thumbed when I moved from the light taking off not like it was shifting but as something was knocked in, then the lower light I turn on in the truck stopped working, the interior dash lights as well stopped on the 11 of March about 6 pm I was heading back in from out of town had to position my cell phone so I could see what speed I was going, the turning to the right knocks like something is about to fall off, and the to top it off the wiper from the back window leaks in the inside when I try to clean with fluid, the seat belt as well is not locking I and my on star it reads and talks as I tried to set up an account the system failed and my engine stalls as well the temperature gauge runs hot if I go in town and stop at the lights I checked the fluid and it is in their I called gm and they quote and quote say their was never a recall on my vehicle but I see online that their was why is it that they can't seem to locate any information I hate that I am always getting duped in with these vehicles and then I get more depressed and shut down and feel like all my funds mean nothing to any one.
