A great SUV....but it does have its quirks. At 37,123 (after the warranty) the left wheel bearing (lots of this according to GM and Buick) went out and the headers leak coolant. In for repairs, a major expense but I had Extended Coverage and saved BIG money. I am told that A/C goes out frequently also. Cannot customize factory presets. Annoying. Can't adjust door locks or running lamps or other warnings or features. Buick decided for you.

Affordable, economical, comfortable, reliable and very spacious. Update, the car (2003 CX) is now the primary vehicle for my 17 year old daughter. It continues to perform reliably and is a very safe car. It is great in poor weather and gives her a commanding view and driving position. The car now has 182,000 miles on it and still works and looks great. Far cheaper to maintain than a newer vehicle or replacing it with something newer. Parts are inexpensive and readily available.

Always needs work. As soon as one thing is fixed, something else goes wrong.

I loved my Rendevous but at 97,000 miles I have put 3,000 in repairs, and am possibly looking at another 3,000. I am told the rear differential is bad in this suv and that it is a common problem. I am now looking at spending more on repairs than the vehicle is worth. Very disappointed that GM won't take more responsibility for their design flaws. Might make me consider another American car but not at this point.....EVER!
brake fluid fire

YESTERDAY; our daughter was driving back home from an appt when the brakes failed--she eased it home, was in the house telling us about the problem for about 15-20 minutes while car was sitting turned off in the driveway. My husband went out to look under the hood and found it ON FIRE. Brake fluid was dripping on the hot manifold Luckily he was able to extinguish it. I believe the design of the engine with the brake line so close situated just above the hot manifold is ultimate cause. The heat MUST be causing the lines to crack/leak unlike in any other vehicle I have owned. We have seen reports online of similar problems since this happened to us.
