MY BUICK RENEDEZOUS' POWER STEERING GEAR WENT OUT AT 4500MILES AND THERE IS STILL A SQUEAKING NOISE WHEN I TURN THE STEERING WHEEL. NOW THE CAR HAS 43000 AND THE CONDENSER HAS TO BE REPAIRED FOR $1000.00. I THOUGHT I BOUGHT A GREAT VEHICLE BUT I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE. OH, THE BUTTONS ON THE STEERING WHEEL (VOLUME KNOBS) HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE.
