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.

Upon arriving at my destination and after i put my in park i was UNABLE to turn my engine off because the ignition was stuck in that position. I ultimately had no choice but to unhook the battery cables along with disconnecting the alternator to get my engine to turn off. Prior to this incident occasionally upon starting my car the ignition would not disengage immediately upon the engine turning over which ultimately resulted in having to replace the starter on this vehicle. I am a single parent and only have one vehicle so this is a major issue for my family. Furthermore the fan speed control knob doesnt work properly because when it is put in position 3 it shuts the fan motor off completely. So there CLEAR to me that there seems to be a MAJOR electrical issue. The suspension on this vehicle is horrendous. I cannot go above 45mph without by car wanting to go into on-coming traffic or off of the road or trying to flip over on its side because the shocks/struts on the passenger side are not working properly. I have not used this vehicle for any other purpose then to transport myself and children to and from work/school/appointments. Everyone i spoke to about this particular vehicle has said that these vehicles were manufactured poorly and repairs come at a high cost.

No acceleration,when I go up a hill no acceleration, or when I go to get on the highway no acceleration, and very dangerous. I went to dealership for a diagnostic test and I replaced fuel tank pressure sensor and vent solenoid, no acceleration. I went to another dealership for diagnostic. they recommended that I replace 3 electrical harnesses and connectors $1350 dollars parts and labor too much for me and that may not solve my problem. I told them the problem was corrosion in the connectors to the fuel pump $160 dollars later they agreed with me. Still dangerous.

The ABS wheel speed sensor wire harness has a failure issue. This leads to the ABS system activating without a warning light turning on and can increase the stopping distance when not necessary. The transmission may seem to clunk when accelerating from a stop as the computer doesn't read the correct speed sent from the hub assembly to the computer. previously, I had a hub assembly replaced and the problems still existed. After replacing the wires the problems have not resurfaced.

I purchased a 2004 buick rendezvous from a car dealership, 2 car guys llc, in york, pa on 7/10. at the time I was very pleased with the purchase with the low sticker price of 4K, low mileage of 68K, and the 5/18 inspection. the car, after checking the engine and frame, itself seemed to be in decent condition and I brought it home that day. I was very pleased with the car for two weeks and even made a long trip to altoona, pa with my family. then earlier this week I noticed some issues with the front driver's side brake. I took it in to mr. Tire on 7/26 for a brake examination. the technicians at mr. Tire could not find anything wrong with the brakes and even mentioned that they were new. I wanted them to test drive it double check and then after they returned they thought maybe a caliber was locking up on it. so they lifted the car again and realized that the frame itself was expanding. so they stuck it on a larger lift to ensure that that frame would be shredded. the lead technician brought me out to look at the frame itself. both sides of the frame had been filled with foam insulation and then spray painted with black paint to match the frame. someone had went to a lot of effort mask the eroded frame. the guys from mr. Tire mentioned that no way that could pass a state inspection looking like that. I looked underneath the car at the time of purchase and was unable to see the camouflaged rust. three technicians were under that car the first time the buick was lifted off the ground and did not notice the "slide of hand". I would have never even test driven the car with my son knowing that it was unsafe for the road.

Dash gauges, warning lights, & alarms, bells flash on & off and vehicle suddenly runs rough. Dash codes of all sorts blink on & off. New battery and new altenator installed, problem still exists. This happened first when driving on hiway. after vehicle pulled off road and engine turned off. The dash code then read battery issue. We tried to drive again but now vehicle operated roughly and there was no more daylight. We had vehicle towed 100 miles. Then paid for new battery problem did not change so we had a new altenator installed after having a diagnostic test advising the need for a new altenator. I am quite upset becaus ei feel that there IS fraud on part of sears autorepair. Diagnostic said altenator was the problem. I paid over $450 for that service and another $150 for the battery.

I was told that there was no more recall on my vin# - however, I'm discovering that other 2004 buick rendezvouses are reporting the same of similar problem under campaign #07v349000. I was never notified of a recall for this issue, which could be a very serious safety issue, as I haul around by very young grandchildren. what? Does someone have to die before this issue IS addressed properly?

Gm IS recalling (nhtsa recall no. 07V-349) certain model year (my) 2002-2004 buick rendezvous, chevrolet venture (regular wheelbase) and 2001-2004 pontiac aztek and montana (regular wheelbase) vehicles to replace fuel tanks and correct a defect that may allow fuel leakage.the vehicle recall population IS rendezvous and aztek vehicles built in may 2003, venture and montana vehicle built in june through august 2002 and certain same model vehicles registered in nevada, arizona, virgin islands, puerto rico and hawaii that were built through nov/dec 2003 (depending on model).the total number of vehicles recalled IS 20,594 (includes 15,196 subject aztek and rendezvous vehicles). In addition to the recall, gm will extend the warranty on my 2002-2004 rendezvous and regular wheel base venture vans and my 2001-2004 aztek and regular wheelbase montana vans not included in the recall to provide warranty coverage for a period of 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.gm will begin notifying owners in december 2007.gm reports that the fuel inlet pipe containing the inlet check valve (icv) may fracture and allow fuel vapors or fuel to leak out.gm data revealed that elevated ambient temperatures, higher carbon content in the icv and variation in the manufacturing process were the contributing factors for potential cracks in the icv.beginning december 2003, gm built vehicles with a redesigned fuel tank/icv.subject vehicles not included in the recall or extended warranty did not show a failure trend similar to the above vehicles..for additional details, see recall 07v-349.this investigation IS closed.

Certain subject vehicles may exhibit leakage of odor and/or fuelfrom the lower portion of the fuel tank inlet filler pipe (inlet check valve).the inlet check valve (icv) and the fuel tank are joined together using a hot plate welding process for plastic parts.gm reports that its analysis of field returned parts show evidence of process variations for different manufacturing periods.these variations produced some icv to fuel tank joints with poor melt flow lines.odi's analysis of gm's warranty claim data finds more frequent fuel tank replacements in the hotter climate states.this investigation has been upgraded to an engineering analysis (ea07-006) to further assess this matter.

On november 10, 2004, the office of defects investigation (odi) opened a preliminary evaluation to investigate the failure, malfunction, or other unsatisfactory performance of the engine control system which may result in engine stalling in certain model year (my) 2004 buick rendezvous (gmt250) and pontiac aztek (gmt250) vehicles allegedly caused by ignition relay failure.odi IS aware of 68 non-duplicative complaints and 1092 warranty claims related to the subject issue.there are no known crashes related to ignition relay failure on the subject vehicles.by letter dated april 19, 2005, general motors corp. (Gm) has notified odi that it will conduct a safety recall (nthsa recall no. 05V-157) to replace defective ignition relay modules in approximately 34,996 subject vehicles built between october 13, 2003 and march 8, 2004.this period of vehicle production IS associated with escalated warranty claims rates and complaints that allege engine stall due to ignition relay failure.gm has identified parts suppliers who used materials containing silicone in the manufacture of specific components for the ignition relay module.silicone contamination can result in silica deposits forming on the contacts as the relay switches and the heat generated by the resultant arc converts the silicone to silica.silica build-up on the contacts IS progressive and may produce a voltage drop across the relay sufficient to cause an intermittent no-start or engine stall condition.warranty analysis indicates the incidence of no/hard start versus engine stall to be equal.analysis of towing claims and detailed service records indicates that vehicles may experience restart difficulties after a stalling incident approximately 20-30 percent of the time.the use of silicone materials in the manufacture of the subject ignition relay has been discontinued.the action taken by gm IS sufficient to resolve the issues raised by this investigation.accordingly, this investigation IS closed.
