2002 Buick Rendezvous clx review from North America
"Very disappointing"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The rear hatch does not work properly. It is like the wind, sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't.
The head gasket did start to leak and I had to have it replaced to the tune of $600. When the mechanic took it out after fixing this, we noticed that there is a howling in the front wheels.
The front wheel bearings are going out. This is very disappointing. We did not purchase the extended warranty figuring that a vehicle that we paid over $25k for should run without these major problems.
We had to replace the tires after only 30,000 miles.
General comments?
I am very disappointed in this vehicle.
This is our first Buick and probably will be our last.
