2002 Buick Rendezvous cxl review from North America
"I hate it, it sucks and GM should fix all the problems that they know it has wrong it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Wheel bearings needed replaced 3 times. Brake rotors replaced 3 times. Needs Calipers rebuilt. Burns 1 qt oil every 3000 miles, antifreeze leverl low and smells like it is coming out of tail pipe, replaced AC condenser unit, makes humming noise in rear end when turning (sounds like it is low on power steering fluid, but noise comes from back of car)
General comments?
Very comfortable, seats the whole family with ease, hate the the rear hatch, needs to be opened with the key fob or button on dash. Why not have a handle to open the rear hatch? Hate the huge gap between the hood and the wind shield. It collects leaves int he fall and packs with snow in the winter. The 4wd system stinks and the car is not reliable at all.
