2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
"Nice idea, terrible reliability and value"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front wheel bearings went summer of 2007 just after the extended warranty ended.
Fuel pump went July, 2008.
Have had numerous electrical issues/part issues - luckily while under warranty.
General comments?
Horrible reliability and terrible service from GM, especially once the warranty was done.
Expensive car bought brand new; now maybe worth $8k. Will be getting Toyota or Honda next. Too bad, because the features are good and I like the car itself, just hate the reliability.
Have learned not to buy a model the first year it is produced, and not to buy GM.
