Consumer Description

I AM HAVING ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. FIRST, THE POWER DOOR LOCKS, WINDOWS, AIR CONDITIONER, RADIO AND REMOTE KEYS ENTRY WOULD LOCK. THEN YESTERDAY THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER WHILE I WAS DRIVING IN TRAFFIC. SOMEHOW I MANAGED TO TURN A CORNER (WITHOUT POWER STEERING) AND PARK THE VEHICLE. AFTER WAITING A WHILE AND REMOVING AND REPLACING THE CONNECTION FROM THE BATTERY TO THE FUSE BOX UNDER THE HOOD, I WAS ABLE TO GET IT RESTARTED AND RETURN TO WORK. WHEN I TRIED TO LEAVE WORK, IT DIED IN THE DRIVEWAY. AGAIN I WAS ABLE TO RESET EVERYTHING AFTER SEVERAL TRIES AND PARK THE VEHICLE. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. I ALSO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH SQUEAKY BRAKES, WHICH HAVE BEEN BAD SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT THE DEALER AND AN INDEPENDENT GARAGE CANNOT FIND A CAUSE. I ALSO AM STARTING TO HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE COOLANT LEVEL GOING DOWN WITH NO VISIBLE LEAK. *TR
