Faults:

I bought my 2004 Buick Rendezvous in 2005 and thought I got a great deal on it for 14,500. I have had many problems with it. I have had to change the left wheel bearing which was covered under warranty. Now my warranty is up and I was just wondering if anyone new the average amount of miles that the rendezvous usually gets in a life time. Also is anyone having problems with their brakes? I have to change my rotors and pads about every 2 to 4 months. The back and front usually alternate going out. Now I'm starting to have a weird noise when I brake. It is like a rattling noise that no mechanic can ever figure out were it is coming from. Also when I turn my steering wheel it makes strange noises. Does anyone know of any recalls or have the same problem?

What is the average amount of miles this car usually gets in a life time?

Faults:

Shocks and struts had to be replaced.

Fuel pump had to be replaced.

A lot of road noise.

Has a cheap interior plastic.

IT'S VERY UGLY!!!

General Comments:

I drove this car for a year as my company car, and I have to say I did not like it. This is the ugliest car I have ever seen (other than the CRV and the Element from Honda).

The car is not at all comfortable, especially on long trips. I drove it from Toronto to Ottawa and back, I almost ditched the car in between.

It is a nightmare to park.

The only good thing I can say about this car is that it has power. You can pass cars on the highway with ease.

I own a RX 330 and I adore it. I do not recommend this vehicle.

Horrific road noise, very bumpy on road-seems to have mind of it's own, blows in the wind, (doesn't like it-can't seem to get through wind well), very loud, squealing brakes despite attempts to fix it, and chronic thumping over slightest crack in road, later determined after 3 attempts at dealers, that left front strut is gone. Now with 8 days of rain, car suffers major leak from some tubes they tell me, in sunroof.. interior totally engulfed in water, and at dealers 5 days!

General Comments:

Dealer removed some air pressure to soften ride.

Seats are not comfortable, knobs on radio wear off or don't push in correctly.

Too many issues for such a short time.. too many trips to dealer, too many working days lost and manufacturer hasn't help any. I believe leaks are roof rack related, dealer states otherwise. We will be having 3 more days of rain... I hope the problem is resolved.

Faults:

The acceleration on this SUV is very disappointing. When you put your foot on the accelerator, it takes about 10 seconds in order for the speed to pick up.

General Comments:

This SUV is very stylish.

It is very comfortable to ride in, and the storage space is very convenient.

I received this car for my sweet 16 and it has been a dream every since.

Gas mileage is much better than you would expect for a big car/SUV/van like this one.

Faults:

Nothing went wrong.

General Comments:

Rented the car from Hertz. Drove from Virginia Beach, Va. to Ohio to Pennsylvania and back to VB, about 2000 miles in all. Drove in heavy rain, good weather and over mountains. Got 22 mpg to 26.5mpg.

My hips hurt very much from the contoured seats.

The stereo was very good, but the CD did not have a pause button or a track selector button.
