2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
"I don't feel the car was worth the money"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My problems first began after 10 months of owning the car. The seats would heat up with the heat turned off. I took it to the shop 3 times. The 3rd time the dealer wanted to take the heating module out. I said that's fine if you refund me the difference; needless to say they fixed it. But I've never turned it on for fear it will heat up again.
Next my right mirror would rotate non-stop with ignition off. Had to turn the ignition on to stop it.
My radio would play while I tried to listen to the CD player. Thankfully both were under warranty.
My condenser went out at 40,000 miles under warranty. My warranty is now up and I'm considering trading the car, after all the previous reviews. I will never buy another Buick.
General comments?
This car however is very comfortable, and I get a lot of comments on its smooth ride. I know other people with much less costly cars, with none of the problems I have had.
