2004 Buick Rendezvous

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.

Vehicle has hard start when engine is hot. for example when running errands. by the time you come out of the store the vehicle does not want to start. takes multiple attempts. gas must be pimped at the same time as turning ignition in order for the vehicle to start. multiple mechanics state this is an electrical issue but cannot figure out what is causing the issue. battery & throttle body have been replaced and still not render to the issue. this issue constantly happens and thankfully occurs when the vehicle is stationary.

Car kept running hot and no remedy was found for it. batteries and other repairs were done concerning the electrical things; but the car running hot was never resolved even with replacing the thermostat etc. i could only drive about a block and the check cooling system error came on and the car speed would automatically slow down and the engine would automatically cut off if you continued to drive it while hot....smoke from the hood etc. would happen. could feel intense heat when raised the hood. if the car was stationary....after running for a while it would still run hot and eventually the hot light would come on in the inside warning panel. the last mechanic took it apart and never put it back together, neither fixed the car running hot problem. the uploaded files and pictures will show the condition my car was left in and the auto parts taken aloose/apart and not reconnected.

2002 Buick Rendezvous

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. it came to my attention that the vehicle had overheating problems before it was sold to me. i have since tried to sell it and found th st it was not accepted by two car buying/selling websites due to previous salvage. i purchased from a buy-here pay- here. it still has over heating issues and it still has not heat blowing inside. i want to know if repairs will help since it's regarded as a salvage. is it lawful to sell a salvaged vehicle knowing the purchaser was putting the car on the road? i bought the car in ohio and i live in new york.

Vehicle shuts down while driving without warning, and it can only be started by moving the fuse box wiring around. not sure what else to do about this problem. mechanics are unable to help or diagnose this problem.

2004 Buick Rendezvous

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.
