1995 Buick Century

Defect. THESE VEHICLES WERE ASSEMBLED WITH REAR OUTBOARD SAFETY BELT ANCHORAGES THAT MAY NOT WITHSTAND THE REQUIRED LOAD. THIS DOES NOT COMPLY WITH FMVSS NO.210, "SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY ANCHORAGES."

Risk. CONSEQUENCE OF NON-COMPLIANCE: IN A COLLISON, STRESS CAN CAUSE THE ATTACHMENT METAL TO TEAR AND ALLOW THE ANCHORAGE TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE VEHICLE. THE SAFETY BELT MAY NOT PROTECT AN OCCUPANT IN THE EVENT OF A VEHICLE CRASH.

Remedy. DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXISTING ANCHOR BOLTS WITH A NEW SHOULDER BOLT AND THREAD LOCKING ADHESIVE. ADDITIONALLY, NOISE CONTROL PATCHES WILL BE APPLIED AT EACH ANCHORAGE.

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.

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

ANTI LOCK BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON AND WOULD NOT GO OFF FOR ONE DAY,HASN'T COME ON SINCE HAD BRAKES CHECKED COULD FIND NOTHING. THE SELF ADJUSTER AND SPRING CAME OFF INTO THE DRUM ON LEFT REAR BRAKE, WAS ABLE TO STOP AND FIX WITH NEW PARTS.

WHEEL LOCKS FOR HUB CAPS TIGHTEN UP SOLID & CAN'T BE LOOSENED WHEN NECESSARY FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT. REQUIRES A SUPPLIED TOOL THAT IS MADE OF PLASTIC WHICH IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO UNLOOSEN THE WHEEL LOCK FOR TIRE REPLACEMENT.MANUFACTURER NEEDS TO REPLACE SUPPLIED PLASTIC TOOL WITH SUITABLE ONE MADE OF METAL. THIS CAN LEAD TO A DISASTEROUS SITUATION, ESPECIALLY IF A BREAKDOWN OCCURS IN A REMOTE LOCATION OR EVEN IF THE UNABILITY TO REMOVE A MALFUNCTIONG TIRE OCCURS IN A HEAVILY TRAFFICED AREA.
