Replying to: ray80 (Jan 16, 2008 9:17 am) Kts1 is correct that intake manifold gaskets are a problem on these cars, BUT even a powertrain warranty would cover that. And frankly... even if I had those gaskets checked out and they were good, I wouldn't own the car without the warranty. That's not really a knock on the car, but, any car over 100k will need some repairs and you said you did not want any surprises. Buy enough warranty to cover you during your ownership and I think you will have a good experience! Brian D 07 RDV CXL |

I posted this in the parent folder, but I didn't get a reply. I hope you don't mind me posting it here again in case no one saw the other one. I need to buy 4 new tires for my 2004 Rendezvous CX with 65,000 miles on it. Does anyone have any recommendations on a good tire under $100 bucks? Thanks again, --jason |

Replying to: burt0010 (Jan 16, 2008 1:52 pm) I had trouble finding a tire store that carried 215 70R 16. I was told that it is an odd size and it would take about a week to order them. But, I was also looking for a good all season tire, so that might be why I had trouble. The tires I did put on are Copper Discovery ATR. They are about 140 to 160, but they are an excellent tire. Alot of the tires I found that fit were around the 130 mark. When replacing tires I always shop around for the best deals on a particular tire. So just call some of your local tire stores and tell them your price range and most of them will get you pretty close. |

Replying to: burt0010 (Jan 16, 2008 1:52 pm) Besides the Coopers mentioned, you could go with: General Ameri-GS60 Kumho Solus KR21 Uniroyal Tiger Paw Tour SR Based on online reviews of these tires, I would recommend the Kumhos. And they're only $61 each (plus shipping/installation). They're the best choice if you stick to your stock size. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Kumho&tireModel=Solus+KR21&part- - num=17TR6KR21&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&place=1&speed_rating=S&speed_r- - ating=T&speed_rating=U&speed_rating=H&speed_rating=V&speed_rating=Z&speed_rating- - =W&speed_rating=Y&speed_rating=(Y)&minSpeedRating=S#Survey If you have time, I recommend studying TireRack's site, lots of tire info and reviews and test results available there. If you don't want the Kumhos for some reason, I can run your size through an online tire size calculator and find a second size that would be acceptable for your 04 RDV. (one that wouldn't mess up the rolling diameter and keeps the speedometer accurate) Feel free to ask more questions, and good luck! Brian D 07 RDV CXL |

Got a letter from GM stating that the 2002 Rendezvous has the potential to "develop a small crack at the base of the fuel fill tube near the fuel tank that can allow ffuel vapors to escape and cause liquid fuel to drop to the ground during refueling and normal driving." The letter states that if you think you have this problem, you should schedule an appt. with a GM dealer to get it repaired. I wonder if this has anything to do with the gasoline smell I notice in the car sometimes. Here's a PDF of the letter I got: Buick Letter |
