2002 Buick Rendezvous CX review from North America
"Good vehicle with a few flaws"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to have the air conditioning fixed due to upper vents not blowing out enough air, which still does not work properly. The wheel bearings had to be replaced for $900...Buick just sent me a letter that it will reimburse me for that cost. Thirdly, my rear windshield wiper does not apply enough pressure to touch the glass.
General comments?
The Rendezvous is very spacious, comfortable, and gets reasonable gas mileage. Unfortunately, there seems to be widespread problems with the A/C and wheel bearings. Also, the design of the rear wiper is flawed.
