2002 Buick Rendezvous CLX review from North America
"Poor construction"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear wheel bearing needed to be replaced.
Passenger window had electric problems. Sometimes it would stay up and sometimes it would not go up.
A/C went out right after I purchased the car at 22,000 miles.
Brakes in front replaced.
Rear brakes replaced twice. This included rotors.
Coolant is leaking. No heat.
Car is consuming oil.
General comments?
The car has a lot of bells and whistles. But I have had nothing, but constant problems with this car. If I trade it in, I may lose a great deal of money. I can't wait to get rid of it. I am very disappointed with GM as they know about a lot of these issues and have done nothing. The Canadian government has filed a class action lawsuit against GM due to intake manifold problems. The Rendezvous is included in this lawsuit.
