The contact owns a 2004 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that there was a premature failure with the rack and pinion, and there was a loud noise concerning the steering column. An independent repair shop replaced the part and, less than five days later, the steering wheel was tight and difficult to turn properly. The independent repair shop determined that the part was faulty. The dealer (schumacher Buick GMC of west palm beach, 541 n lake blvd, west palm beach, FL 33408, (561)-842-1595) replaced the rack and pinion. The approximate failure mileage was 200,000.

This SUV was purchased at the end of August 2016 and once in the car and driving down the road we realized the vehicle power steering was hard to turn and the brakes were going all the way down. We also had a car accident, because it was very hard to turn and once in the parking space the brakes went completely out and when trying to stop the SUV would not stop and we hit a parked car with the lady in the car on 9/11/2016. Went on line and noticed recalls for power steering and cloth seats on some models for air bags. Spoke with GMC and informed power steering recall and would like SUV checked. Called tow truck to take vehicle to GMC. When we got there the service department request we try to purchase a new car instead of getting the vehicle fixed. The next day we were notified the truck was not worth repairing the damages were over 1,000 for power steering and brakes. This car was sold with all these problems and I feel since there was previous defects with this vehicle we should at least be given some type of compensation or a new vehicle.
