Faults:

No real problems.

Both my kids have taken this car to college with them. My son decided to drive over a large object rather than drive around it as everyone else would. As a result, the car need some work done to the front ABS system (replaced some parts that had torn off).

The only other thing was replacing the battery at 73,000 miles and the rear brakes at 50,000 miles.

The car runs great.

Some of the overhead plastic storage doors have come off. This may be a result of my kids rather than the car.

General Comments:

Lots of room and a great ride.

Faults:

Both front wheel bearings at 52000 km, 10 months out of warranty.

GM will not reimburse, because work was not done by dealer. How was I to know? Very unfair, IMHO. $650.00 down the drain.

GM has lost two repeat customers (my wife, in the market for a mini van, and myself) for $650.00. Hope they enjoy my $650.00. Will never buy GM again.

Rear door/hatch pressure pad switch at 51000 kms, 4 months out of warranty. GM dealer will not reimburse, says once warranty is up, too bad. Had to buy part and install myself.

Rear window wiper blade does not clean window, spring is too weak, 3 months out of warranty.

Engine stalls twice while at low speed while under warranty. Dealer can't find problem.

General Comments:

I expect transmission, engine gaskets, door window motors, to fail anytime now, without GM help.

Will burn car in driveway rather than selling to innocent buyer.

Good looks and interior comforts suckered me into buying this car. Learned my lesson well.

Faults:

1 There was a recall for the back latch = noted for opening by itself.

2. The left front wheel bearing had to be replaced by 50,000, and the right side by 55,000. That was $1,300.

3. The front brakes needed replacing at 33,000 (they totally disintegrated). My husband does the break work and has never seen rotors like this in 40 years.

4. There was a recall for the covers on the C.V. joints.

5. Paint on the hood blistered and needed work. (covered under the warranty).

Faults:

Until now, minor problems such as rear hatch not opening fully (replaced gas shocks and guides).

Now, since the warranty is over (60K), complete brakes front and rear, pads and rotors, rear hatch now does not open unless opened using the remote, sunroof motor cuts in and out, not fully opening or closing in 1 try holding the button.

Today front hub bearing went, another $600. Called GM complaint line, and although some vehicles of this model year are under a bearing replacement program, apparently our vehicle is not included. No wonder the "big 3" are in trouble. I won't be getting another GM product. 70000 kilometers and worn out!!!

Faults:

I had to update the "On-star" phone from analog to digital.

General Comments:

The Ultra is loaded with luxuries. It's very comfortable on long trips as the "Ultra" package offers adjustable and comfortable seats. The ride is a little stiffer and sportier than the CXL, but still very smooth. The "heads up" display projects the vehicle speed, current radio station, and turn signals onto the windshield so that the driver doesn't have to look away from the road. The radio controls are on the steering wheel, so you don't have to look away from the road to change volume or stations. The dash is done in woodgrain instead of the tin used in previous models. The 3.6L engine is plenty of engine to move the vehicle. The all wheel drive kicks in immediately on slick roads as do the anti-lock breaks. If looking for a used Crossover, I'd buy this vehicle, but Buick is discontinuing the Rendezvous, so I'll gladly move up to the Enclave.
