If you are planning of getting the 2004 Rendezvous, take time to browse on what some owners have to say about the vehicle’s performance.

Browse on some of the downfalls and get a fair insight before finally making a decision whether or not to purchase one.

Owner No. 1 – Things were doing really great but after driving around 32k miles, the transmission started slipping. By the 34k mile, I started to hear weird noises – groaning noises which came from the differential. This happens every time I make a slow turn. By the 40k mile, the computer died. I could no longer get the car to start so the only option left was to have it towed and get a replacement of the computer. The only option I had was to have it replaced. The car maintenance is also expensive. For the differential’s fluid flush, I had to pay $185.

Owner 2 – All I can say is the 2004 Rendezvous have huge side mirrors. Now, I find it hard to check cars turning towards me. The brakes can also seem very awful at certain times.

Owner 3 – I think the cons about having the 2004 Rendezvous revolve around three things – the back hatch, the lights and the cargo area. First, the lights. I am truly happy that the light has its own auto feature. But then again, let’s admit the fact that there are times when we just want to drive with the lights off. Drivers only have two options – “on” and “auto” buttons. Had there been the “off” button, things would have been a lot easier. Second, the back hatch. There are times when I hear squeaking from the back hatch. The noise is even clearer when the radio is switched off and when you’re driving bumpy roads. Third, the cargo area. I think the seats fold down too much eating up all of my cargo space. The seats just do not seam to fold flat.

Owner 4 – The large side mirrors seem to be quite a problem to me. So far, the Buick’s mirrors are the largest that I’ve ever seen in my entire life. I use the big mirrors when I back up. Backing up is a bit difficult since because of the car’s rear windows. Since I cannot fully see what’s behind me, I rely on the side mirrors instead.

All vehicles will always have its own pro’s and con’s. If you have been eyeing the 2004 Buick Rendezvous, make sure to check out online reviews about the model. The internet offers a wide range of fair reviews that eager buyers may consider before finally deciding to make a purchase.
