2001 BUICK CENTURY Complaints

WHILE DRIVING IN RAINY WEATHER SUN ROOF DOES NOT CLOSE. CONSUMER STATES IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WHEN THE RAIN IS COMING INTO THE VEHICLE. *AK

CONSUMER NOTICED ABS LIGHT FLASHING WHILE TRAVELING, INDICATION THAT ABS SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING. MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN CONTACTED.*AK

HAD THE SPEED CONTROL FUNCTION ON WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH. VEHICLE SUDDENLY ACCELERATED TO 90 MPH. BRAKES WERE APPLIED TO DECELERATE VEHICLE, WHICH DEACTIVATED THE CRUISE CONTROL. HAD TAKEN VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, WHERE MECHANIC COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

WHILE CHANGING A FLAT TIRE THE JACK COLLAPSED WHICH RESULTING IN BODY DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE DEALER GAVE THE CONSUMER A NEW REPLACEMENT JACK FREE BUT REFUSED TO REPAIR THE BODY DAMAGE. THIS FAILURE WAS REPORTED TO THE BUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTED FOR RESOLUTION. *AK *SCC *NLM

CONSUMER HAD HER AUTOMOBILE FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME, AND A LOT OF THINGS HAD GONE WRONG. ELECTRICAL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED/ VISOR LIGHT STAYED ON ALL THE TIME/ BACK WINDOWS WOULD NOT GO/ BRAKE CALIPER WAS NOT SEALING/ FRONT BRAKE ROTORS WERE PITTED, THAT WAS WHAT THE MECHANIC TOLD HER, AND THE SUSPENSION SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. SHE STATED ALL OF THE ABOVE HAVE HAPPENED TO VEHICLE WHICH HAD A LOW MILEAGE. BUT ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE REPAIRED. BUT SHE WAS NOT WORRIED, WHAT ELSE WAS GOING WRONG.*AK

DESIGN OF THE DASHBOARD CASTS A REFLECTION ONTO THE FRONT WINDSHIELD, CAUSING REDUCED VISIBILITY DURING THE DAY WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSUMER CHECKED OTHER BUICK CENTURY'S AND LASABRE'S AND NOTICED THAT THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *AK *CB *NLM

GEAR SHIFT INDICATOR DOES NOT ILLUMINATE WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR AND IN A DARK SURROUNDING SUCH AS A CAR PORT OR GARAGE, IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE WHAT GEAR HAS BEEN SELECTED. I FEAR THAT EVEN THOUGH CAUTION IS USED, THERE IS HIGH POTENTIAL FOR AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE THE WRONG GEAR WAS SELECTED. AFTER A COUPLE OF MINUTES THE LIGHT DOES COME ON AND ALL IS NORMAL. IS THIS A DESIGN PROBLEM OR IS THERE A DEFECT IN THE CAR'S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM? *JB

THE TIRE EXPERIENCED A FLAT, CONSUMER NOTICED THE TIRE HAD SPLIT FROM THE INSIDE OUT WHICH WAS NOT NORMAL. DEALER WAS CONTACTED SINCE TIRE WAS ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, CONSUMER WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO RECALLS OR TSB BULLETINS. CONSUMER HAD TO REPLACED ALL 4 TIRES.*JB

IF VEHICLE HITS THE SMALLEST PUMP IN THE ROAD FRONT OF VEHICLE MAKES A NOISE LIKE IT HAS HIT THE ROAD. DEALERSHIP INDICATED THAT THIS WAS CAUSED BY DEFECTIVE TIE ROD ENDS. PLEASE PROVIDE MORE DETAILS. TS..*AK

WHILE IN MOTION THERE WAS A THUMPING NOISE EMMITING FROM THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND THE KEY WOULD NOT RETURN IT TO IT'S NORMAL POSTION. ALSO THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES, ALSO THE GEAR WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK.*JG *JB
