Question: rendezvous crap?
1. car heat dont work unless driving straight to cold when stopped( believe thermostat)
2. idiling problem car will pull itself at pretty good speed 45-50mph when car is put in neutral the rpms jump to 3500. but will stop if car is restarted? ive noticed when its cold out the car dosnt do it really but it only does it 1/6 times when warm out hasnt done it since it been cold. ( believe its manifold gasket?)
3. tranny shift hard or late sometimes not so much since fluid change.
4. i checked the oil the other day and it looked to have a little red tint to it and kinda smell like paint thinner or something strong? but i checked it today and its fine? i did change oil and tranny fluid a week ago and didnt notice any in it.
i havent owned this car long but i fear that there is no thermostat in it to keep the motor cooler to help hide these problems? not to mention it has a mitsibushi radiator?
i have lost all confidence in buick after reading all the problems with these vehicles i believe its just a big lemon?
