I bought this vehicle in 2014 after only two days of having it the steering went out and the gas lines had to be replaced. After that in 2015 6 mo after buying this vehicle the head gaskets went out on me Once again I fix it. In 2019 the head gaskets went out again I was not going to fix the head gaskets again so I drove the car till it would not drive no more. This car looks pretty on the outside but just like a bad apple the insides was rotten to the core. I would never recommend anyone buying this type of vehicle all there is are problems and issues and that is why they don't make the pieces of junk anymore what a rip off.

I have NEVER had this type of problem with any car which I have driven. I have always believed that Buick was a reliant car. ( 3rd Generation Buick driver. ) At this moment I don't ever want to buy another Buick. I have carefully maintained this car. Yesterday, the car overheated. I brought it to my mechanic this morning and discovered that I have a cracked head cylinder. It appears that this is a common problem with the Buick Rendezvous. Obviously, GM is aware of this issue. Why hasn't there been a recall ?

In addition, the OnStar service was inferior yesterday when I contacted them. I am totally disgusted.
