Consumer Description

I JUST FOUND THIS LINK TODAY. I HAVE BEEN HAVING SEVERAL PROBLEMS OUT OF MY 03 RENDEZVOUS. I HAD MY BRAKES CHANGED, AND EVERYTHING HAS WENT TO HELL. THE BRAKES RATTLE, MY AWD DISABLED, AND MY ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON. I HAD THIS PROBLEM PREVIOUSLY LOOKED AT IN AUGUST 2010. ONCE THE ROTORS WERE TURNED IT SEEMED TO HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEMS. SINCE THE WARM WEATHER HAS RETURNED, THE PROBLEMS HAS STARTED BACK. IN ADDITION TO THE BRAKE SYSTEM PROBLEMS, I AM LOOKING INTO POSSIBLE INTAKE MANIFOLD BEING REPLACED OR REPAIRED DUE TO ANTIFREEZE LEAKAGE. ANY HELP WILL BE USEFUL. THANKS! *TR
