Consumer Description

MY 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS WOULD PERIODICALLY STALL IN TURNS OR AT RED LIGHTS. 1 INSTANCE IT WOULDN'T START AGAIN AND IT HAD TO BE TOWED TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP. THEY SAID THEY FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A NEW BATTERY. AFTER THAT IT WOULD STILL STALL AT LIGHTS AND INTERSECTIONS. I TOLD VARIOUS MECHANICS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT AND NEVER FOUND A PROBLEM. I EVEN HAD MY FUEL FILTER CHANGED ETC. WELL, ON JANUARY 21 2011, I WAS MAKING A ROUTINE LEFT HAND TURN INTO WORK ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN MY CAR STALLED... IT WOULDN'T PICK UP AND GO. I WAS THEN HIT HARD ON THE PASSENGER SIDE TOTALING OUT MY VEHICLE AND RESULTING IN MINOR INJURIES ON BOTH PARTIES. *TR
