REAR WHEEL BEARINGS FAILED AT 30K MI. COOLING SYSTEM FAILED AT 110 K MI. CAR IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. AFTER INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FUEL HOSE HAD DETACHED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AFTER TWO HOURS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 302,723.

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 SHOUL...

MY SPEEDOMETER HAS STOPPED WORKING. MOSTLY IS READS 120 MPH WHEN I AM SETTING STILL. BECAUSE IT FLUCTUATES FROM MOVING OR NOT MOVING. BUT NEVER CORRECTLY. I HAVE BEEN REDUCED TO RELYING SOLELY ON A GPS SPEEDOMETER.

VEHICLE OVERHEATED TO THE MAXIMUM, THEN IT STALLED. I WAITED A BIT AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THE TEMP. RETURNED TO NORMAL. WHILE CONTINUING TO DRIVE HOME AT 35 MI PER HR. IT STALLED AGAIN, AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT, AND MAKE IT HOME. I PHONED MY MECHANIC, AND HAD IT TOWED THERE. HE INFORMED ME THERE WAS WATER IN THE EXHAUST WHICH INDICATED EXPENSIVE HEAD GASKET PROBLEMS. HE SUGGESTED I SELL THIS VEHICLE ASAP. I HAD ONLY OWNED IT 2 MONTHS! WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED I WAS IN MOTION AT 35 MI PER HR. ON A CITY STREET. VERY DANGEROUS!
