The ABS wheel speed sensor wire harness has a failure issue. This leads to the ABS system activating without a warning light turning on and can increase the stopping distance when not necessary. The transmission may seem to clunk when accelerating from a stop as the computer doesn't read the correct speed sent from the hub assembly to the computer. Previously, I had a hub assembly replaced and the problems still existed. After replacing the wires the problems have not resurfaced.

I purchased my Buick Rendezvous in 2007 from my mother who only had it 2 years. Since I purchased this vehicle, I have had 8 wheelbearings replaced, and 2 hub assemblies, along with the wiring harness for the ABS. The vehicle will sometimes 'rub' when turning the steering wheel, or sometimes the brakes will 'rub'. after this happens, the ABS light comes on as well as the AWD disabled light. I had purchased the extended warranty, and that covered the wheelbearing issues, and one of the hub assembly fixes. I think I have spent more on repairs for this vehicle in the past 6 years then I paid to buy it. Not a year goes by that I don't have to have something replace in order for it to pass inspection. My vehicle now has 118000 miles on it.
