2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America

The wheel bearings had to be replaced 3 times. 2 of the times the car was still on it's extended warranty and of course right again, after the warranty expired at 75000 miles. The Buick dealer charged us $375 and when I asked why this has happened 3 times already they simply replied that it was the roads that caused the problem. Well in the 20 years I have driven cars in the state of Michigan I've never had this problem with any of the other cars I've owned so if this is the case, I would say there is something wrong with this car.

Also, the rear hatch will open whenever it feels like it.

Also, the side view mirrors will mysteriously begin to shake back and forth out of the blue for no reason. I have to turn the car off and restart it to get it to stop.

The digital heater is messed up. When it's really cold, you can turn the heat up, it goes down rather then up and won't work properly unless the car has been running for a while or unless you turn the dial really really slow, at one degree at a time.

For the price we paid for this car, almost $40,000, a small house payment in my opinion, I would expect it to run with no problems. I've never had as many problems with any of my other cars, new or used like I have with this car.
