BOUGHT 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS CXL FROM CARMAX WITH 29K MILES. SEEMED TO RUN OK FOR FIRST COUPLE MONTHS...AT AROUND 36K MILES, THE CONDENSER WENT OUT AT THE SAME TIME AS THE ODOMETER STARTED TO DISPLAY "ERROR". UNACCEPTABLE FOR CONDENSER TO FAIL WITH JUST 3 YEARS OF LIGHT USE. ALSO, HAD TO REPLACE INSTRUMENT PANEL TO GET RID OF ERROR - TOOK A WEEK TO SHIP THE ERROR PANEL TO FACTORY SO THEY COULD READ MILEAGE AND SET ON A NEW PANEL TO SHIP BACK TO THE DEALER. LUCKILY I PURCHASED EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT I STILL HAVE A 75 DEDUCTABLE FOR EVERY REPAIR AND RENTAL VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED.

STEERING
TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 BUICK RENDEZVOUS. THE POWER STEERING CONSTANTLY MADE A CLICKING SOUND WHENEVER THE STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE FOR $400 APPROXIMATELY EIGHT MONTHS AGO. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RETURN TO THE MECHANIC WHO TOLD HER THAT THEY COULD GREASE THE PARTS AGAIN BUT IT WOULD NOT LAST MUCH LONGER. SHE WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE PARTS AGAIN. THE DEALER NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 55,000.
