"Buyer beware"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I continue to have the handle break off on the hatch back. Wondering if other owners have this same problem? I contacted GMAC and they will not call it an issue. Funny the same side keeps breaking off within 1 1/2 years.

Engine gasket needed replacement.

Air-conditioner went bad.

Now I have an issue with the temperature gauge getting close to the "red" zone, and Buick states that this is "normal" when it is hot outside. It started this year when I was sitting at a stop sign, then will go into the normal range as long as the vehicle is moving. I don't find this normal behavior.

I have owned this vehicle from day one, and know all of its quirks, and believe me, there are a lot. Glad we got the extended warranty because we have used it a lot.

Buick customer service does not work to help the customer. They work to help the service departments.

Don't buy a Rendezvous. I am getting a Honda.

General comments?

I bought a 02 Buick Rendezvous when they first came out. My file on repairs is about 2 inches thick, I did not purchase extended warranty. It has been a nightmare from day one. Total price $29,000, $29,000 General Motors stole from me, deceiving me with false advertisement and information on this "great, wonderful SUV. The Government should go after manufacturers that provides deceiving information to the public and sells plastic instead of metal. STAY AWAY FROM THIS SUV & GM.
