Consumer Description

MY 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS HAD COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE A FEW MONTHS AGO. LUCKILY I WAS ONLY TRAVELING ABOUT 10 MILES AN HOUR AND WAS WITHIN A MILE OF HOME. THE BRAKE LINE HAD RUSTED OUT. THIS CAR WAS STORED IN A GARAGE WHEN NOT DRIVEN AND HAS BEEN IN FLORIDA FOR TWO YEARS. THE BUICK DEALERSHIP IMPLIED THAT THIS IS JUST COMMON WEAR AND TEAR. THERE WAS NO WARNING, AND NO REPAIR SHOP THAT DID WORK ON THE CAR EVER INDICATED THIS RUSTING OF THE BRAKE LINE WAS HAPPENING. CAR HAD ABOUT 100,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE ALSO BEEN THROUGH THREE CONTROL MODULES, LUCKILY COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO, BECAUSE I GOT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AT TIME OF PURCHASE, THE AIR CONDITIONING, THE HEAD GASKET AND VARIOUS OTHER PROBLEMS WERE COVERED. THIS 2002 MODEL DEFINITELY HAS SOME SPECIFIC AND EXPENSIVE AND DANGEROUS PROBLEMS. LATELY, IT'S CALMED DOWN. GREAT CAR FOR COMFORT, AND ROOMY FOR CARRYING HOUSEHOLD ITEMS. TOO BAD TOYOTA DIDN'T MAKE IT. *TR
