2003 buick rendezvous experiencing problems with the battery, steering and the automatic brake system.***no answer required***. *mr the consumer felt vibrations in the steering wheel and vehicle which lasted anywhere from 10-30 seconds. The noise of vibration happened intermittently when the key was turned off. The dealer was notified but was unable to rectify the problem. The brake pedal went to the floor once. The battery went dead. The consumer believes this may be the result of other problems.
While operating the vehicle on snow-covered roads, the ABS and awd systems abruptly stopped working with the warning lights coming on. This happened several times that day before arriving home, causing the car to slide through an intersection at one point. Dealer found a corroded wiring harness due to water. The location of this harness is exposed on the undercarriage of the car and is still exposed to normal wet weather driving. The failure of this harness caused the ABS and awd sensor to overheat and disable the systems. In the process, the wheel bearings also overheated requiring replacement and repair. Total cost: $890.
Dealer replaced master cylinder twice, but problem still occurring.
