Keeping Fair: Why Not Drive A 2004 Buick Rendezvous?
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.
We have asked a few 04 Rendezvous owners about what downfalls they have to reveal. And some con’s about this vehicle are as follows:
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 – I have three basic complaints about my 2004 Rendezvous – the cargo area, the back hatch and the lights. I am happy that the lights have its own automatic feature. However, there are times when I want to drive with the lights off. The only options I have are “on” and “auto.” I wish they had the “off” option as well. I also hear horrible squeaks coming from the back hatch. Whenever the radio is off, the noise can be clearly heard especially when driving through bumpy roads. Lastly, my rear seats always seem to fold down for cargo space. The worse part is they do not fold flat.
Owner 4 – The side mirrors are very gigantic. In fact, the Buick’s side mirrors are the biggest that I have ever seen. Backing up is also difficult because the car’s rear windows are so high. This makes backing up for short drivers even more difficult.
Every car has its own pro’s and con’s. If you plan to buy a 2004 Buick Rendezvous, be sure to conduct a quick yet thorough research about the vehicle. You can find a wide range of reviews online. Fairly weigh the positive and the negative aspects of the vehicle. Doing so will help decide whether or not buying a 2004 Buick Rendezvous will suit your lifestyle.
