2007 Buick Rendezvous

Due to lack of maintenance complete corrosion and rust have eaten through the entire body frame, undercarriage etc. This vehicle was sold to us at State line Auto LLC in Fulton Kentucky, without any disclosure of it being unsafe to drive in fact the rust spots underneath the vehicle have been covered and hidden by spray painting diligently, unfortunately the disguise of the rust with a black paint actually worked and we were unable to see the rest as it was hidden with the paint that they sprayed on the bottom of the vehicle. were assured that everything was in proper working order aside from it needing an oil change which was indicated by an engine light that was lit on, this car has been deemed unsafe to drive even after complete replacement of frame this car remains structurally unsafe to even have an alignment done. As per TnA Auto services and plaza tire. Plz contact to advise [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

FOR THE THIRD TIME IN ABOUT TWO WEEKS, MY CAR HAD THE "REDUCED ENGINE POWER" LIGHT POP UP AND IT JUST SLOWLY CAME TO A STOP WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED I ALSO LOST POWER STEERING. EACH TIME I MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND I JUMP STARTED THE CAR. ANOTHER REPORTED INCIDENT ON HERE SAID THAT THEY JUST WAITED A FEW MINUTES TO RESTART IT, BUT I HAVE A PORTABLE DEVICE THAT ALLOWED ME TO JUMP START MY CAR IMMEDIATELY. I WENT TO AUTOZONE TO TEST THE ALTERNATOR AND THE BATTERY AND BOTH WERE FINE. THIS MAY OR MAY NOT BE UNRELATED, BUT WHENEVER I START MY CAR I USUALLY HAVE TO PRESS THE GAS PEDAL A LITTLE BIT OR THE CAR WON'T START PROPERLY.

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. *TR
