TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING LIGHT WOULD SPORADICALLY ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER AND THEY ADVISED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NON-REPAIRABLE. YET, ADVISED THAT IF THE FAILURE WAS NOT REPAIRED, THE BRAKES WOULD EVENTUALLY FAIL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE WERE NO RECALLS FOR THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. UPDATED 06/17/11*LJ UPDATED 06/27/11
ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SENSOR FAILED WHICH CAUSED EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT IN THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN STOPPING. IN ADDITION, THIS SENSOR CAUSED THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM TO DISENGAGE AND CREATED DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING THE VEHICLE. IN SOME INSTANCES THE BRAKE PEDAL WOULD DEPRESS ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN ATTEMPTING TO STOP. BUICK WOULD NOT HONOR THE WARRANTY ON THIS PART. AS A RESULT, I PAID $700 FOR THE REPAIR ON THIS PART. *TR
