1995 BUICK CENTURY Complaints

WHENEVER DRIVING OR WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT VEHICLE WOULD STALL CAUSING A SAFETY HAZARD IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAVE TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN, BUT MECHANIC COULD NOT INDICATE EXACT CAUSE OF PROBLEM.*AK

AXLE BEAM WENT BAD SOME OTHER PARTS THAT ARE INVOLED ARE REAR AXLE ASSEMBLY AND BRAKE DRUMS . DUE TO AXLE THERE WAS SOME NOISE WHLE CONSUMER APPLIED BRAKES. HAS NOT CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

PER NHTSA ITEM NUMBER SB037602 THE MANUFACTURER ISSUED A RECALL FOR THIS VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS OF 2ND TRANSMISSION GEAR FROM IMPROPERLY MANUFACTURED CLUTCH REACTION PLATES. PER THE DEALER'S SERVICE MANAGER THE RECALL AFFECTED ABOUT 5,000 VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BEFORE MINE AND STATES THAT GM WILL NOT REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION ON MY VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. HOWEVER IT IS PROBABLE THAT THE RECALL PROBLEM HAD NOT YET BEEN CORRECTED IN MY VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES: MAINLY LOSS OF 2ND GEAR. I WOULD LIKE TO FIND OUT IF THE RECALL WAS EXPANDED TO ADDITIONAL 1995 BUICK CENTURY CARS OR IF THE MANUFACTURER CAN BE COMPELLED TO ADDRESS MY VEHICLE'S PROBLEM UNDER THE CIRCUMSTANCES. THANK YOU FOR YOUR VALUED ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER!!!

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY ALL OF SUDDEN VEHICLE DIED. WENT TO PARK, THEN IT RESTARTED. CONTACTED DEALER. THEY HAD IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *AK

I FEEL THIS IS ONE OF MANY PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THE AUTO I HAVE HAD 5 OIL LEAKS AND I HAVE REPLACED ALL THE BREAKS AND CYLINDERS . I AM VERY UNHAPPY WITH THIS AUTO. I HAVE HAD A LOT OF BUICKS AND HAVE NEVER HAD THE PROBLEMS I HAVE HAD WITH THIS ONE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.LORETTA WALLACE. *AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 65MPH VEHICLE TOTALLY SHUTDOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH. CONSUMER WAITED FOR A FEW MINUTES, AND VEHILE STARTED AGAIN, 3 HOURS LATER IT OCCURED AGAIN. *AK

THE ENGINE HAS BEEN LOSSING COOLANT SINCE THE DAY THAT I ACQUIRED THE CAR, MARCH 18, 2000. THERE IS ALSO A RATTLE/CLICKING IN THE ENGINE WHEN IT IS OPERATING COLD, BEFORE WARM UP IS COMPLETED. I SPOTTED A COLLANT LEAK ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE NEAR AND JUST BELOW THE ENGINE HEADGASKET AREA. THIS COULD LEAD TO COOLANT LEAKING ON THE GROUND AND CAUSING POLLUTION IF THE LEAK GETS WORSE. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR EVALUATION. *AK

THE DRUMS ON THE VEHICLE ARE NOT STRONG ENOUGH CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE TRANSMISSIO FAILURE. NLM

I HAVE HAD TWO PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN MY BUICK IN LESS THAN ONE YEAR. FIRST THE TORQUE CONVERTER HAD TO BE REPLACED, NOW AT 90,000 MILES THE PUMP ASSEMBLY WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED. *AK
