2002 Buick Rendezvous CXL review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had problems with the ABS braking system since 22,000 miles. After replacing wheel bearings, hub systems and a wire module, they were fine for a while. Now the car has 60,000 miles on it and they are acting up again.
They have replaced another rear hub assembly and the problem is still there. They think it might be the computer chip that runs the ABS braking system, but will not replace it until they find "more evidence".
I am very unhappy with Buick and will never buy another car from them. Too bad because I love the Rendezvous for comfort.
I've gotten excellent gas mileage and have enjoyed the car, although I did have problems with the air conditioner (condenser) and an oil leak. Fortunately all has been covered by the warranty. I'd be broke if I hadn't bought the extended one. It has just been very inconvenient. When are the American's going to get it right???
