Defect. CERTAIN VEHICLES ORIGINALLY BUILT WITH CLOTH SEATS THAT WERE EQUIPPED WITH AN AUTOMATIC AIR BAG PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM AND LATER REUPHOLSTERED WITH AFTERMARKET LEATHER SEAT COVER KITS ARE INVOLVED.

Risk. IF THE PASSENGER SENSING SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS, THE FRONT AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE MAY BE DISABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE ENABLED, OR ENABLED WHEN IT SHOULD BE DISABLED. IN EITHER CASE, IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THAT REQUIRES AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT, A FRONT PASSENGER'S LEVEL OF INJURY MAY BE INCREASED.

THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 6, 2006. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT GM AT 1-877-477-1022 TO BEGIN THE PROCESS OF REPURCHASING THEIR VEHICLE.

My kids and I were driving down the road all of a sudden I heard this loud sound and then my car wouldn't turn left or right the steering wheel turned but not the car thank God I wasn't goin very fast I was able to slowly pull to the side of the rd then it started smoking like it was on fire my kids and I had to hurry and jump out an the carlot I got it from is picking it up to be looked at.

I bought my car from a used car lot. I had it about 3-4 months and out of the blue it overheated very quickly, the warning light was on, some type of loud buzzer was going off so I pulled over and let it cool off, it took about 45 minutes but it started back up. I checked all the fluids and coolant levels and everything was ok. This continued to happen for about 3 weeks, quickly overheat, lights, alarms pulled over, checked fluids over and over. After about 3 weeks it would quickly overheat and then shut off on its own and several times it happened so fast I barely got off the road.i took it to a mechanic that drove it around a little until it overheated which at this point only took about 3 minutes to happen. He said there was air in my radiator and he released it and it was fixed, I drove about 3 miles and it overheated again so I returned to the same mechanic and after about 6 minutes he came and told me it was a head gasket but they didn't repair those there so I called the next closest mechanic who looked at the car for about 3 minutes, stuck an air hose in the radiator and he said it was blowing out gas fumes from the radiator meaning I had a cracked head. I had to tow it 200 miles to my house, my wife drove it back and forth to work which was only 1 miles from home, she was able to do that for about a month and then the engine would start stalling at different times such as slowing to turn, pulling in to park, and some times it would stall while driving in busy 4 lane

The contact owns a 2005 Buick Rendezvous. The contact stated that while driving approximately 35-40 MPH, the vehicle started losing motive power and was shuddering while shifting gear. The “Service Engine Now” warning light was illuminated. The contact was able to pull over to side of the roadway, turn off and restart the vehicle and drove to her residence safely. The vehicle was not taken to the local dealer to be diagnosed. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 175,000.

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 SHOULD AT LEAST BE GIVEN SOME TYPE OF COMPENSATION OR A NEW VEHICLE.

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!
