To date, we have probably heard a lot of wonderful things that comes with driving the 2004 Buick Rendezvous. But is this vehicle really worthy of your money? All cars, no matter how expensive or affordable the selling price is will always have its own downsides.
If you are planning of buying your own 2004 Buick Rendezvous, take a look at what some owners have to say on about the Con’s of owning one.
Owner 1 – I was driving fine when at around 32k miles, I noticed that the transmission started to slip. At 34k miles, I heard groaning noises from the differential every time I made a slow turn. I had no other choice but to have it replaced. Maintenance can be quite expensive. I paid $185 to get a fluid flush of the differential. At around 40k miles, the computer suddenly died. I could no longer start the car. The option I got was to have it towed and get the computer reprogrammed.
Owner No. 2 – The side mirrors seem very big for me. I always have a hard time checking cars which turn towards me or of people walking by the sidewalks. The brakes are also awful sometimes. I want to have them replaced soon.
Owner 3 – My 2004 Buick Rendezvous is great but I will have to complain about three things – the lights, the back hatch and the cargo area. First of all, let me tell you that I am very happy with the lights having its own “auto” feature. But then again, there are times when I just want to drive without having to switch the lights on. The vehicle gives me only two options – auto and on. I think it would have been better if an “off” option was also available. Apart from that, the back hatch also releases squeaks from time to time. The noise gets even more audible when the radio is turned off. The rear seats fold down eating up most of my cargo space.
Owner 4 – The large side mirrors seem to be quite a problem to me. So far, the Buick’s mirrors are the largest that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I use the big mirrors when I back up. Backing up is a bit difficult since because of the car’s rear windows. Since I cannot fully see what’s behind me, I rely on the side mirrors instead.
