I AM NOT HAPPY WITH THE HEATER IN MY 2003 RENDEZVOUS. I HAVE BEEN TO MY DEALER, TALKED TOBUICK AND ALSO A FIELD REP.(DAVID BRIE?) I AM NOT HAPPY WITH ANSWERS I HAVE BEEN GIVEN. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT FEELS THERE IS A PROBLEM. WHEN THE HEATER IS PUT IN BI-LEVEL POSITION IT BECOMES EXTREMELY LOUD AND SOUNDS LIKE THE AIR CANT GET OUT WHEN PUT IN HEAT SETTING. WHEN PUT TO COLD SETTING THE AIR FLOWS FREELY. ALL MY OTHER PAST VEHICLES NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM AND WHEN IT IS EXTREMELY COLD THE CAR DOES NOT HEAT PROPERLY.*AK

THE HORN IS VERY HARD TO OPERATE DURING AN EMERGENCY. THE HORN HAS TO BE PRESSED FORCIBLY IN THE CENTER IN ORDER TO OPERATE PROPERLY. DEALER HAS EXAMINED THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM.*AK
