Buick Rendezvous Brake Questions
Hello,
I have a 2003 CX and the brake warning light on the dash keeps coming on (along with the annoying chime). We have eliminated as problems: the park brake pedal switch, and the low brake fluid sensor on the master cylinder. Is there another sensor in there somewhere?

No this not a regular problem. My brakes dissolved early on my RDV as well (original factory 35,000 km) and I replaced rotors and pads. It is best to replace with high quality manufactured in north america brake parts (pads and rotors). This will cost a little more but well worth it. It appears cheap offshore parts are being used to much lately and we pay the price with no robustness. These offshore cheapy parts are attractive (for both car manufacturers and aftermarket purchases), but you pay what you get and for good reliability and most importantly safety we should pay a little.
Get good rotors (robestos and ceramic pads Wagner)

Although they cost more, use Ceramic pads (front/rear). They wearevenly and dissipate heat better without a lot of dust, if any. I have $500 a piece rims on my 04 and don't want excess cleaning worries. The ceramic pads also offer better resistance to brake fade under hard driving.
I received 2 quotes - 1 for $599 and the other for $630. That seems really high to me.

Anyone know if i am getting ripped off?
After having my Rendezvous for a week my mechanic claimed that the rear hub bearings were bad and causing the ABS to "malfunction". Needless-to-say when we got it home the problem was clearly not fixed. Now he said something about the pump might be bad? Honestly what I've read about the bearings going bad doesn't seem to be anything like what we're experiencing...I'm supposed to drop it off tonight but I don't want to spend more money and have the problem not fixed.
Any suggestions I can hand him as far as things to look at would be appreciated. I'm going to ask for all the broken parts too...
Thanks in advance for your help.
The car also started to feel sluggish on steep hills. 2 days ago when I started the car it pulsated like something was blocking the exhaust system. had to pull over and restart and seemed fine. Occassional still get some of this same problem upon first starting the car in the morning. Any ideas?
I bought it used a few years ago and it's been a great car until this. The last guy who fixed the bolts recommended trading it in ASAP but no real info as to why. Negative equity in the car will make this hard to do but if it's going to be major $$ to fix, I may need to consider it.
All help much appreciated.
