2002 Buick Rendezvous CX review from North America
"Buick's response: What problems?"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
You name it - It's gone wrong.
Leaking Intake Manifold
A/C compressor
Fan motor regulator switch
Window motor
ABS wheel sensors and harnesses
02 sensor failure
Wheel bearings
Leaking door seal
BCM
And what's with all the rattling???
General comments?
I wrote to Buick yet again to ask them what they intend to do about recurring problems with this vehicle.
Their response: What problems?
I pointed out the numerous internet sites with owner complaints of the EXACT same issues over and over again.
Their response: We aren't aware of these issues and we are truly sorry you have been disappointed with your vehicle.
Disappointment doesn't begin to cover it. I can't afford to keep the car. Trade in value is laughable. My daughter's '99 Honda is worth more than my '02 Rendezvous which I paid $26,000 for!! I pointed this out in my letter.
Buick had no response for that one.
Please write complaint letters to Buick and to the NHTSB. Addresses can be found online. Maybe, just maybe it will help someone else. As for me, I plan to take what little money I can get on my trade in and buy a Honda.
