I purchased my 2002 Buick Rendezvous cxl in early 2003. By 2004 I had to have the a/c condenser replaced, the shocks & struts replaced and numerous problems with the a/c. Then in summer of 2006 the car engine started misfiring and the car stalled out with smoke coming out of the hood, etc. Had it towed to Buick, they said the engine had a leak somewhere and water leaked into the oil. . . Huh? anyway, of course even though I had the extended warranty, I was just out of warranty and they refused to fix it. The option was to replace the engine for $6,000. This vehicle was already paid off and worth about $14k prior to the engine blowing up. I ended up selling it for $3k. Is this normal? I think not. I submitted my case to several "lawyer" claiming to specialize in this type of rip off activity by car manufacturers but they said it wasn't worth it to them to pursue it. Maybe if someone had died it would be worth more. I would like to see Buick at least admit poor manufacturing and refund me some of my money. I took a loss of $11k on this vehicle.
