pretty bad
brakes problem
In May 2014 my anti lock brake, AWD, and ABS light came on. I took to my car guy he ran test and said it was the passenger side wheel sensor. I had it changed $300. 2 months later lights back on and it is falling dead on its face when you push to hard on the gas, rpms go up. You let off gas and press lightly on it it is fine.
Take it back to the shop it is not popping any codes not even the ABS or Anti lock brake (yes lights are on). Head Service tech from Buick here in town comes and looks at it after my guy has it for 5 months one fuel line, fuel filter and another hub assembly later. Tells me DON'T BRING IT TO BUICK. I don't have a clue what it is.... We will just start changing parts out at your cost.
My guy keep it for all most a year and calls me to come get it he dose not know what the problem is after we had a fuel pump put on it. It was not in the fuel system. I have it 1 month the ABS and Anti lock brake light come back on. I have just replaced the Hub Assembly again at 122,000 miles. I put the longer wire harness on that side. The Antilock brake light and the ABS light are now off but the ADW light is still on no more falling on its face. NOW none of the gauges are working....

This is very scary...service traction system light anti lock brake light and traction off light all come on..brakes feel like they are going out . have had it serviced 3 times for same issue and am told can't be fixed. Seriously? Someone has got to know how to fix this or buick should definitely be having a recall. in looking on your site , I see this is an issue for this car, doesn't matter what yr.

2005 Buick Rendezvous. Maintained regularly by myself or a mechanic mate with a lift and better tools when I can't get at it.
Traction Control/ABS kick in under dry driving conditions, turning right or left. Happens especially as the air temperature outside goes above 70 degrees/the interior of the car gets quite hot (even with the shades).
I have been researching the issue and it seems to be sensors/wiring from the wheel hubs. Since I am due to perform brake servicing anyway, I might as well check the wheels for this. Where specifically do I look for this hub/sensor and what, specifically do I look for in possible wear or damage?
The car is practically 10 years old so I cannot expect it to still be "fresh off the lot", but its my baby.

My 2005 Buick Rendezvous had the abs and awd lights come on on the dashboard. I took it to my mechanic who said it was $500-800 to fix. He recommended I send it to myairbags.com. I went online and found my part that I needed. I removed mine from my car and sent it to them to rebuild. It cost me $99.00 to rebuild it and $18 return shipping. I sent it out on a Monday and got it back on Friday. Totally worth it!
They even do dash panel clusters if you are having issues with your lights and such.
