2003 Buick Century Complaints

EVERY BUICK OWNER, I HAVE TALKED TO AT ABOUT 80,000 TO 100,000 MILES HAS TO REPLACE INTAKE MANIFOLD AND BOLTS. THIS IS ABOUT A $1200.00 JOB, GASKETS AND BOLTS SHOULD LAST A LOT LONGER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 BUICK CENTURY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN IN THE IGNITION SWITCH AND THE ALARM SECURITY WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURES OCCURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNAVAILABLE.

THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE PARK, REVERSE, DRIVE HAS BEEN GOING ON AND OFF FOR YEARS MY 84 YEAR OLD UNCLE NEVER NEW WHAT GEAR HE WAS IN AND HE GAVE ME THE CAR IN 09 AND WE CALL ON IT AND THEY TOLD US THEIR WAS NO RECALL AND 9 MONTH AGO IT FINALLY WENT OUT COMPLETELY WE HAVE TO COUNT SO WE KNOW WHAT GEAR WE ARE IN AND YOU CAN'T SEE THE MILEAGE I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD TO THE OLDER PEOPLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 BUICK CENTURY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE BRAKE LINE ROTTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED ON ALL FOUR BRAKE LINES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,000.

WHEN USING TURN SIGNALS CAR DIES, ALL THE DASH LIGHTS FLASH AND CLICK. IF I PULL OVER AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK IT RESTARTS AND DRIVES FINE UNTIL I TRY THE TURN SIGNAL AGAIN THEN THE SAME THING HAPPENS. I ALSO HAD TO DISCONNECT THE EMERGENCY BRAKE SENSOR OR ELSE THE SAME THING HAPPENS. FLASHING, CLICKING AND CAR DIES. NOW, WHENEVER CAR IS IN GEAR, CONSTANT DINGING AND IT WILL DRIVE FINE BUT I CANNOT USE THE TURN SIGNALS. *TR
