2002 Buick Rendezvous CX review from North America
"Buyer beware"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Well, the wiring in the stereo was off after picking the car up. They had to open the steering wheel twice to correct it.
Now, a year later, I'm having similar problems. When I click the button on the steering wheel to turn down the stereo, it changes the radio over to cassette player. Occasionally it works properly.
My air conditioner died last week. My warranty is expired (I'm 9000 over it and it's only been 2.5 years). I don't see how it could "die" on me. I take good care of my car and it's not abused.
The finishes on the stereo buttons wear off quickly - like they show wear within the first month or so. Also, if you use the knobs on the stereo, and balance your hand on the edge of the knob, your fingers leave marks on the stereo that doesn't come off.
General comments?
I love my vehicle, but would need to see improvements and fixes by Buick before I'll step foot into another Buick showroom.
