2002 Buick Rendezvous CX review from North America
"A major disappointment"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Fuel pump replaced at 17000 miles.
Fuel pump acting up again.
Front ball joint replaced, after only 18,000 miles.
All four tires replaced, after only 18,000 miles.
General comments?
Too many problems for a family car. Stranded us once with a bad fuel pump. The front ball joint was replaced after only 18,000 miles. All four tires were replaced as well. The dealer did this under warranty, but was very vague & elusive when we asked why. I'm guessing the tires (Firestone) were part of a secret recall. Could no longer trust this vehicle to safely transport my wife & infant, so we dumped it.
