2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
"Not good"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 58,000 miles. Air conditioning condenser needed to be replaced at 45,000 miles. Wheel Bering went within 3 months of buying the car. Gas gauge suddenly read empty when we had a full tank. At the present time, the car makes noises when steering, which is being looked at this week. Electrical problems.
General comments?
I loved this car when we first bought it, but it has quickly become nothing, but a money pit. I regret buying this car. Whenever I drive it someplace I am always wondering in the back of my mind if I am going to make it to my destination!
