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.

If you are planning of buying your own 2004 Buick Rendezvous, take a look at what some owners have to say on about the Con’s of owning one.

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 2 – 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.

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.

Every vehicle will have its own set of positive and negative reviews. Be sure to check out online reviews before finally making a purchase. A lot of vehicle reviews can be found online. These reviews will help you decide whether or not buying the 2004 Buick Rendezvous will be a wise decision or not.
