2002 Buick Rendezvous Other or unknown Problems

“One day last week, I noticed that the lighting behind my gauges was out and the light on the radio is dim. Then the next day none of my windows work, they are stuck down about 2 inches. And then I get on the highway and at 60mph the front end feels like its going to fall off. And when in the drive through the engine temp was heading for the red zone, I had to shut the vehicle off. After coming to a stop and then accelerating to go, the front wheels act like they grab the car jerks then the tires squeal and car moves. …”

“My vehicle did not have heat. I was not able to determine if it was blowing cold air or not blowing at all. Before I had a chance to address the heating issue, the vehicle ran hot and continued to run hot until a mechanic replaced the thermostat and the coolant and cu at 2/3 slit in the rubber under the hood.

Still same problems took the car out again this time after GM called us. …”

So I took it to my mechanic who fixed it in one day.”

“Purchased 3/1/04 and got a free oil change in mail because it was sold to me when it already needed an oil change. I had to keep adding oil. I called because salesperson said he had to be there when they fixed several things on it. 1st time, I sat 3 hrs to get it fixed. 2nd time after 2 messages to salesman w/o response, I called and took it to get fixed again. 3rd time I took it down there to show them the results of oil consumption test and they didn't fix my windshield leak again, my air quit working when I got it back after 2nd time. …”
