What 2007 Buick Rendezvous owners say
Electrical system
At 65 miles per hour on a highway in rich hour traffic my vehicle stalls out and displays 2 lights 1."reduced engine power" "service traction control system" or something to that effect. The car will not start for 3-5 minutes. Then restarts and continues to do the same thing another 5-7 times before I was able to get to a safe location. When hooked up to a code reader the code that displayed was co240 ABS powertrain control module.. This is extremely dangerous.

Rock county Honda (3636 e milwaukee st, janesville, wi 53546, [phone]) was contacted however, was unable to provide the cause of the failure.

Car would not shift from reverse to the park position. The car's shift cable had broken leaving the car in an unsafe reverse position. Turned off the car, set the parking brake and called to have the car towed to a repair shop. The repair shop replaced the shifter cable and stated this is a common problem with this GM platform, to the point the shop keeps the replacement cables in stock. This is a safety issue and I have read that GM has a recall out for 2014 shifter cables experiencing the same problem.
