2003 Buick Rendezvous CX review from North America
"Not worth owning!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Chronic front end vibration, sloppy steering, rough ride and engine are all hallmarks of this vehicle.
The intake gasket had to be replaced in the engine shortly after is was out of warranty. I had to fight Buick to get them to pay for it. This seems to be a chronic and ongoing problem with GM's 3.1 and 3.4 liter engines.
General comments?
Compared to the first model Rendezvous we purchased for my wife, the second one that I purchased for myself has been a complete and total disappointment.
My vehicle rides and operates completely different. What ever changes Buick made after the first model year were a big mistake. I will not be purchasing another Rendezvous any time soon.
