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.

I think that the side mirrors are way too big. This makes me unable to see of cars turning towards me or of people walking in the sidewalks. The brakes can also be inconvenient at times.

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.

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.
