2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
"For the price it needs to be more reliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL.
For 2 years we kept hearing a clicking noise and had the automatic level pump checked. Finally it went out at 50,00 miles, but the dealer replaced under warranty because we had it worked on twice before. When it came back from this service the AC was not working. Returning to the dealer with in 2 weeks, (hoping that they had accidentally disconnected something and this would be a minor problem) we were told the condenser was cracked and needed to be replaced at a cost of $650. I have owned quite a few cars over the last 30 years and never had a condenser crack. This was a $34000 vehicle and a condenser cracks in under 3 years. There is something wrong and perhaps consumers should be asking for a recall.
