MA 10/15/2015 THE CONSUMER STATED AT SOME POINT, THE FUEL STARTED DRIPPING ON HIS DRIVEWAY. HE IMMEDIATELY JACKED THE VEHICLE UP AND DISCOVERED THE FUEL LINE WAS LEAKING ABOUT A DROP EVERY SECOND.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE POWER STEERING ASSIST LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS, MY CAR HAD THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT POP UP AND IT JUST SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. EACH TIME I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I JUMP STARTED THE CAR. ANOTHER REPORTED INCIDENT ON HERE SAID THAT THEY JUST WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART IT, BUT I HAVE A PORTABLE DEVICE THAT ALLOWED ME TO JUMP START MY CAR IMMEDIATELY. I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND BOTH WERE FINE. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNRELATED, BUT WHENEVER I START MY CAR I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE BIT OR THE CAR WON'T START PROPERLY.

AT 65 MILES PER HOUR ON A HIGHWAY IN RICH HOUR TRAFFIC MY VEHICLE STALLS OUT AND DISPLAYS 2 LIGHTS 1."REDUCED ENGINE POWER" "SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM" OR SOMETHING TO THAT EFFECT. THE CAR WILL NOT START FOR 3-5 MINUTES. THEN RESTARTS AND CONTINUES TO DO THE SAME THING ANOTHER 5-7 TIMES BEFORE I WAS ABLE TO GET TO A SAFE LOCATION. WHEN HOOKED UP TO A CODE READER THE CODE THAT DISPLAYED WAS CO240 ABS POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE.. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. *TR

THE BUICK RENDEZVOUS WOULD NOT START AFTER OUR SON LITTLE PRACTICE HAD TO TOW OUT OF PARK. ELECTRICAL IGNITION SWITCH HAD TO BE REPLACED BY LOCAL MECHANIC. ALSO OUT OF EVERY 10 STARTS 2 OR 3 HAVE A HARD TIME STARTING AND WHEN YOU DRIVE ON ROAD AND PUSH GAS PEDAL IT SEEMS LIKE IT WILL STALL COMPLETELY I WENT TO BUICK DEALER BUT HE TOLD ME THERE IS NO REACALL ON THIS CAR.I AM AFRAID IT WILL STALL ON ROAD MY KIDS ARE IN THIS CAR ALL THE TIME I AM AFRAID FOR THEM THE DEALER SAID HE WOULD TAKE A LOOK BUT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY TO FIX BECAUSE THIS IS NOT PART OF RECALL I THINK THIS IS HORRIBLE TREATMENT OF REGULAR PEOPLE TAKING MONEY AND MORE MONEY AND NOT CONCERNED ABOUT SAFETY WHAT COUNTRY IS THIS.USA OR SOME 3RD WORLD COUNTRY ALL I WANT IS GM TO FIX RELAY BETWEEN KEY AND IGNITION SWITCH AND CHANGE COMPUTER MODULE UNDER HOOD AND GIVE ME NEW KEY I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM BUT THEM AND THEIR DEALERS ARE MAKING PRAY EVERYDAY THAT NOTHING HAPPENS TO MY FAMILY IN THEIR CAR. *TR
