1998 Buick Century complaints

HEADLIGHT LENS DEVELOPED A CLOUDY FILM. THIS REDUCED THE LIGHT ILLUMINATION, AND RESULTED IN POOR VISIBILITY. THE LENS COULD NOT BE CLEANED. *AK THE CONSUMER BELIEVES THE DESIGN OF THE LENS IS POOR BECAUSE IT DOES NOT ALLOW THE CONSUMER TO CLEAN THE INSIDE OF THE LENS. *NM

WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH AND TURNING LEFT INTO A PARKING SPACE, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. THIS MADE IT HARD TO STEER AND TURN THE VEHICLE. ONCE THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED, THE CONSUMER WAS INFORMED THAT RACK AND PINION STEERING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK *SC *JB

TRANSMISSION FELL APART AT 41,600 MILES. (NAR) *PH *CB

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN STEERING FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. *AK

1998 BUICK CENTURY CUSTOM - THE ELECTRIC REAR WINDOW STOPPED WORKING AND DROPPED OPEN AND WON'T CLOSE. AN EXAMINATION OF THE WINDOW REVEALED THAT THE HARNESS IS MADE UP OF TWO STEEL CABLES ATTACHED TOGETHER BY A SMALL PIECE OF PLASTIC. SURPRISE, THE PLASTIC BROKE! IN DECEMBER 2003, THE SAME YEAR THAT THE BACK WINDOW BROKE, THE DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW BROKE AND IT IS THE EXACT SAME PIECE THAT BROKE IN THE BACK WINDOW. ONLY THIS TIME IT BROKE WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE CENTER LANE OF I-75 AND WE'RE FORTUNE THAT SHE WASN'T IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE FALLING OF THE WINDOW AT HIGH SPEED CREATED A SCARY DISTRACTION THAT NARROWLY MISSED CAUSING A POTENTIONAL BAD ACCIDENT. IT HAVE BEEN TOLD TO ME BY A BODY SHOP AS WELL AS A BUICK SALEMAN THAT THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT. IT IS NOT ONLY DANGEROUS BUT CONVENIENTLY COSTLY TO REPAIR. THEY DON'T MAKE THE PLACTIC CONNECTOR, WHICH WOULD BE VERY EASY TO INSTALL, BUT ONLY SELL THE ENTIRE HARNESS FOR $375 + TAX. I HAVE WRITEN AND SPOKE WITH GM IN DETROIT. THEY HAVE OFFERED ME AN ADDITIONAL $1500 TOWARDS A NEW CAR OR THEY WILL PAY 50% OF REPAIRING THE WINDOW. THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE THEY ARE VERY WELL AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT IT IS GOING TO TAKE YOUR ORGANIZATION TO INSIST UPON A TOTAL RECALL.*AK

STEERING RACK SEPARATED WHEN TURNING LEFT. A RECALL WAS ISSUED, HOWEVER THIS WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. *AK INCIDENT ALMOST CAUSED A COLLISION WITH AN APPROACHING VEHICLE. *LA

IGNITION WOULD NOT TURN, CAUSING THE VEHICLE NOT TO START. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WHERE THE IGNITION WAS REPLACED. CURRENTLY, POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKED. *AK

THE INTAKE GASKET LEAKED ANTIFREEZE. DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE GASKET, BUT PROBLEM RECURRED WITHIN 23,000 MILES. GMC CONSUMER REPRESENTATIVE INFORMED THE CONSUMER OF A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE, BUT CONSUMER'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO VIN. RECALL NOT FOUND IN ARTEMIS. *AK

DISSATISFACTION WITH NHTS'S RESPONSE TO HER COMPLAINT RE THE DASHBOARD DESIGN OF THE BUICK CENTURY, REF ES03-007553/S/ BRENNER 12/5/03, ENTIRE ENCLOSURES NOT IMAGED FWD TO NVS-200. *PH THE DASHBOARD WAS CONSTRUCTED IN SECTIONS WHICH CAUSED PERMANENT REFLECT LINES ONTO THE WINDSHIELD IN LINE WITH THE DRIVERS EYE LEVEL. *SC *JB

THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE DUAL COMFORTEMP CLIMATE CONTROL HAVE FAILED RENDERING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE THE TEMPERATURE AND AIRSPEED SETTINGS.

SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR I HAVE HAD REPEATEDLY HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL INJECTORS. IN THE BEGINNING WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE INJECTORS WERE REPLACED AFTER THE THIRD TIME I WAS TOLD THAT THEY JUST CLEAN INJECTORS NOW AND IT'S CAUSED BY BAD GASOLINE. IN ALL MY OTHER CARS I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEM USING STANDARD OIL GAS. EVEN THE DEALER BUYS THE SAME GAS AT THE SAME STATION FOR ALL THERE CARS. LATELY WHEN I HAD THE INJECTOR PROBLEM AGAIN THEY QUOTED ME $140 TO FIX THE PROBLEM WHEN I SAID I HAD IT DONE THE OTHER TIMES FOR LESS THEY AUTOMATICALLY REDUCED THE PRICE TO $64. THIS MAY SEEM FAIR TO SOME BUT WHY THE DIFFERENCE IN PRICE AND WHY CAN'T THEY SOLVE THIS PROBLEM? OTHER PEOPLE I KNOW HAVE THE SAME ENGINE AND DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.

AFTER NOTICING A FEW DROPS OF DEXCOOL COOLANT ON THE GARAGE FLOOR, I CHECKED THE RESERVOIR. IT WAS EMPTY. I CHECKED FOR LEAKY HOSES OR CLAMPS, THEN NOTICED THAT AROUND SOME GASKET I COULD SEE WHERE COOLANT WAS OBVIOUSLY OOZING AND SOME HAD POOLED IN A RECESS IN THE ENGINE MOLD. ANYWAY, I REFILLED THE RESERVOIR WITH DEXCOOL AND TOOK THE CAR TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP BEFORE DOING ANY DAMAGE. THE REPAIR BILL CAME TO OVER $900. THE CAR IS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD AND IT NEEDS A NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET, HOW ABSURD. AFTER SURFING THE WEB, I FIND THAT OTHERS HAVE HAD FIRES AND BLOWN ENGINES FROM THE SAME PROBLEM. WE WERE LUCKY, BUT MY WIFE AND DAUGHTER TRAVEL THE LOCAL HIGHWAYS ALOT, WHAT IF THEY RAN OUT OF COOLANT WHILE DRIVING AND THE ENGINE SIEZED, POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT OR AT LEAST STRANDING THEM. (3.1L V6)

UPON STARTING ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONSUMER STARTED TO DRIVE 5 MPH AND VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE DID RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVED.*AK ENGINE STALLED WHILE GOING AROUND A CORNER. VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED AT A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AND PARTS ARE AVAILABLE. *PH

MY CAR HAS HAD A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM WITH MY FUEL INJECTIONS, SPECIFICALLY INJECTIONS 3 AND 4. NUMBER 3 HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE AND 4 ONCE. THIS STARTED 11/14/2001 WITH THE MOST CURRENT HAPPENING ON 11/12/2003 AFTER SUPPOSEDLY BEING REPAIRED ON 11/5/2003 AND 10/17/2003. I HAVE SPOKE TO GM ON SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH THE SAME RESPONSE. BECAUSE MY CAR NOW HAS 98,200 MILES ON THEY CAN'T HELP ME. THE FIRST TIME THAT THE INJECTIONS STARTED TO GIVE ME A PROBLEM IT WAS COVERED UNDER AN EXTENDED WARRANTY AND AT THAT TIME I ONLY HAD 64,047 MILES ON MY VEHICLE. IT IS MY UNDERSTANDING FROM A RELIABLE SOURCE THAT THE INJECTIONS ARE PRODUCING NUMEROUS PROBLEMS BUT TO DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL DONE. I'M SPENDING A LOT OF MONEY TO FIX SOMETHING THAT APPARENTLY CAN'T BE FIXED. I THINK SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *LA

WHILE DRIVING AT EITHER SLOW SPEED, AND/OR FAST SPEED, IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE POWER STEERING FAILS. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHILE CHANGING LANES ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL AS MAKING SLOW TURNS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. I HAVE MADE SURE MY POWER STEERING LEVEL IS FULL TO THE PROPER LEVEL SEVERAL TIMES, AND HAVE ADJUSTED IT AT ONCE. *AK

THE CONSUMER NOTICED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN IN COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS THE VEHICLE WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO STEER. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT THE STEERING WHEEL WOULD BIND. THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM HAS YET TO BE DETERMINED. *NLM *TS *NLM

WHILE DRIVING CONSUMER HEARD A LOUD NOISES FROM REAR SUSPENSION. *AK THE ROD SPINDLE ROD SHEARING CAUSED BY CHATTING AGAINST RIGHT STABILIZER SHAFT MOUNTING BOLT STOP. (INBOARD SIDE OF THE REAR SUSPENSION SUPPORT) THE RIGHT SIDE HAD INSUFFICIENT CLEARANCE. *SCC *JB

I OWN A 1998 BUICK CENTURY CUSTOM THAT I PURCHASED NEW. MY HUSBAND AND I TAKE GOOD CARE OF OUR CARS; ALWAYS DO ALL THE RECOMMENDED MAINTENANCE. IN FEBRUARY, OUR INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET WAS REPLACED DUE TO A LEAK AND THE CAR ONLY HAD 76,000 MILES ON IT. THIS COST US OVER $900. MY HUSBAND HAS SEARCHED THE WEB AND FOUND HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER BUICK AND GM PRODUCT OWNERS. MANY ARE FORMING GROUPS AND FILING PETITIONS AND CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS. MY GRANDFATHER AND UNCLE WERE CAR REPAIRMEN IN THE '70'S. EVEN BACK THEN, IT WAS UNHEARD OF TO HAVE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKETS REPLACED. THIS IS CLEARLY A DEFECT THAT GM NEEDS TO OWN UP TO. PLEASE PURSUE GM THROUGH WHATEVER CHANNELS YOU HAVE TO MAKE THEM PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT. I HAVE HEARD OF A FEW LUCKY FOLKS WHO ARE GETTING REIMBURSED, IT SHOULD BE FOR ALL OF US. *LA

INTERMITTENTLY THE HEADLIGHTS OPERATE POORLY WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT TIME. INDEPENDENT SHOP COULD NOT FIND NOTHING WRONG. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK

THE RIGHT FRONT TURN SIGNAL LIGHT STOPPED OPERATING DUE TO A FAULTY SOCKET WHICH HAD TO BE REPLACED. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *NLM

HOSE DISCONNECTED FROM THE GAS FILTER CAUSED GASOLINE TO LEAK FROM THE VEHICLE.*MR THE CONSUMER MANAGED TO RECONNECT THE HOSE TO THE FILTER WHICH TEMPORARILY REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. AT A REPAIR SHOP, A NEW FILTER WAS INSTALLED WHEN THE MECHANIC INSTALLED THE FUEL FILTER. CONSUMER NOTICED THE CONNECTION FROM THE RUBBER HOSE TO THE FILTER WAS ONLY A PLASTIC SNAP AND NOT A SOLID CONNECTION LIKE THE OTHER END OF THE FILTER THAT GOES TO THE ENGINE. CONSUMER FELT THE PLASTIC SNAP COULD SNAP AGAIN AND CAUSE SERIOUS OR DEADLY INJURIES. *PH *JB

THE REAR MIDDLE SEAT BELT DIDN'T TIGHTEN OR HOLD IT'S POSITION. THE CAR SEAT MOVED. *SCC *JB

FAILURE OF BRAKES AND ABS SYSTEM ON MY 1998 BUICK CENTURY. I HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS. I HAD THIS PROBLEM WITH THE CAR WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED IT AND I HAD IT WORKED ON. BUT YET IT HAPPENED AGAIN, DUE TO THE BRAKES FAILING AND NOW I WAS INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT. *AK

CONSUMER IS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH FUEL INJECTION SYSTEM:INJECTORS. ONE YEAR AGO SHE HAD THEM REPLACED BY THE LOCAL MECHANIC, THEN TWICE THEY WERE CLEANED BY THE DEALER. AFTERWARDS, SHE HAD TO HAVE 3 OF THEM REPLACED. ALL OF THIS BECAUSE THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, STATING THAT ENGINE NEEDED TO BE SERVICED SOON. ALL OF THIS STARTED WHEN VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK, AND SHE HAD IT CHECKED. CONSUMER WOULD LIKE TO HAVE HELP WITH ALL OF THIS SERVICING.*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AND WITHOUT WARNING, BRAKE FLUID LEAKED FROM THE REAR WHEEL CYLINDER. DEALER NOTIFIED. *AK THE CONSUMER FELT THAT GM PARTS WERE OF POOR QUALITY, AS HE OWNED A BUICK BEFORE, THAT HAD A NUMBER OF PROBLEMS AT LOW MILEAGE. THE SERVICE DEALER TOLD THE CONSUMER THAT THE HOT CLIMATE CAUSED THE RUBBER INSIDE OF THE WHEEL CYLINDERS TO CRACK. *SCC *JB

FRONT DAY-TIME LIGHT/SIGNAL SOCKETS ARE OVERHEATING AND BURNING THE PLASTIC PARTS OF SOCKET & BULB. REPLACED BULB+SOCKET PRODUCED THE SAME RESULTS WITHIN SEVERAL WEEKS. DEALER DOES NOT WANT TO INVESTIGATE UNLESS PAID. GM SAYS CAR OUT OF WARRANTY. BURNING SMELL WAS DETECTED ABOUT TWO YEARS AGO BUT COULDN'T LOCATE THE SOURCE, ONLY AFTER THE FLASHER FAILED. BULB WAS STILL FUNCTIONING BUT THE ELECTRIC CONTACTS DID NOT FUNCTION. *JB

I OWN A 1998 BUICK CENTURY CUSTOM. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND AM VERY GOOD ABOUT PROPER MAINTENANCE. LAST WEEK MY HUSBAND NOTICED A FEW DROPS OF COOLANT ON THE GARAGE FLOOR. HE CLEANED IT UP AND AGIN THE NEXT DAY, A FEW MORE DROPS. HE CHECKED THE HOSE CLAMPS AND HOSE CONDITIONS, THEY WERE FINE. HE CHECKED THE RESERVOIR WHERE YOU PUT IN DEXCOOL, IT WAS DRY. HE FILLED THE RESERVIOR AND DROVE THE CAR IMMEDIATELY TO OUR LOCAL MECHANIC SO WE WOULD NOT DO ANY ENGINE DAMAGE. AFTER 2 DAYS AND $800, THE CAR HAS BEEN FIXED. NOW I NOTICE WHEN SEARCHING THE WEB, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF REPORTS VERY SIMILAR TO MINE. UNFORTUNATELY, I ALSO NOTICED MANY WHERE THERE WERE FIRES OR ACCIDENTS. GM HAS TO FIX THIS AND AT LEAST PARTIALLY REIMBURSE THOSE LIKE ME WHO HAVE HAD TO PAY MAJOR REPAIR BILLS.

THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT DUE TO A FAULTY ELECTRONIC SYSTEM PROBLEM. *JB

RACK AND PINION STEERING PROBLEM. DEALER WAS CONTACTED, AND HAD FOUND THAT PROBLEM WAS FIXED. ALSO THERE WAS A RECALL ON DIFFERENT MAKES AND MODELS WITH SAME PROBLEM; BUT, HIS VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED DUE TO VIN. TS...*AK

CONSUMER STATED THAT THEY HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AS RECALL#02V286000 POWER STEERING. DEALER WILL NOT REPAIR BECAUSE VIN# WAS NOT INCLUDED. TS

CONSUMER STATES OF HAVING THE ABS SYSTEM LIGHT IS ON AND OFF. DEALER WAS CONTACTED. TS

CONSUMER STATES THAT WHILE DRIVING AND NO WARNING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER WILL WORK INTERMITTENTLY AND IT WILL HARD FOR THE CONSUMER TO SEE DURING RAINY WEATHER. DEALER NOTIFIED. MR

CABLE TO BRAKES ARE NOT WORKING PROPERLY. PLEASE PROVIDE FURTHER INFORMATION.AK

THE CIRCUIT BOARD THAT REGULATES THE TEMPERATURE CONTROL DOES NOT WORK. THIS PROBLEM IN THE BEGINNING WAS INTERMITTENT BUT WE NEVER REPORTED IT UNTIL SOME TIME BETWEEN JAN. 2002 TO PRESENT. THEY CLAIM THAT THE BOARD IS DEFECTIVE BUT IT WOULD COST US AROUNG $ 500.00 TO BE REPLACED. WE BELIEVE THAT A CAR WITH LESS THAN 35000 MILES SHOULD NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM.*AK

BOTH OUTSIDE REAR SEATBELTS WILL NOT PULL OUT, VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN EXAMINED BY DEALER.*AK

IN SUDDEN DOWNPOUR (APPROACHING TORNADO) OUTSIDE OF NASHVILLE THIS A.M. VISIBILITY WAS SEVERLY REDUCED WITH WIPERS ON LOWER SETTING. WHEN WIPERS TURNED TO HIGH TO INCREASE VISIBILITY WIPERS LOCKED AND STRIPPED, FORCING DRIVER TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE AND WAIT FOR THE RAIN TO STOP. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN MARCH 2001 - RIGHT AFTER PURCHASING THE USED VEHICLE. WE ENCOUNTERED HEAVY RAIN AT INTERSTATE SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH. THE WIPERS LOCKED TOGETHER AND THE MECHANISM STRIPPED THE RIGHT WIPER SO THAT IT WOULD NO LONGER FUNCTION. UPON RESUMING DRIVING WITH JUST THE LEFT WIPER, THE LEFT WIPER THEN PROCEEDED TO GO OFF THE WINDSHIELD ENTIRELY AND DRIVER HAD TO PULL OFF THE ON THE SIDE TO TIGHTEN BOLT. THE PRIMARY DRIVER OF THIS VEHICLE REMEMBERED THE FIRST INCIDENT AND NEVER USES THE HIGHER WIPER SETTINGS SO HAS NOT INCURRED ANY FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE AUXILIARY DRIVER, MYSELF, HAD FORGOTTEN THAT THIS WAS A PROBLEM. NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE HIGHEST SETTING MAKES FOR DANGEROUS VISIBILITY IN HEAVY RAIN THOUGH AND THE DESIGN OF THE WIPER OPERATION SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS EVEN BEING ABLE TO SAFELY PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE IS SEVERELY HAMPERED. *AK

COOLANT USED BY DEALER IS TURNING INTO SLUDGE IN RADIATOR, WHICH CAN GET TO THE ENGINE. DEALER/MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. *AK *YH

WHEN STARTING VEHICLE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHT STAY ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER, AND DEALER INDICATED NEEDED ABS MODULE. *AK

I ATTEMPTED TO BACK UP OUT OF THE GARAGE TO GO TO AN EVENING FUNCTION. THE CAR SEEMED TO RESIST THE REVERSE PROCEDURE. AFTER EXITING THE CAR AND CONTINUING TO RECEIVE CONTINUING RESISTANCE TO REVERSE OR IN DRIVE I EXITED THE CAR. I COULD SEE NO PROBLEM WITH OBSTACLES. MY NEIGHBOR, WHO WAS WALKING HER DOG, SAID THAT THE REAR WHEELS WERE NOT TURNING. I ATTEMPTED SEVERAL TIMES TO GO FORWARD BUT COULD NOT. THEREFORE, I FORCED THE CAR BACK INTO THE GARAGE WITH THE REAR WHEELS SCREECHING AT THE FORWARD MOVEMENT INTO THE GARAGE. THIS IS WHERE THE CAR IS AT PRESENT. IN THE GARAGE SUNDAY MORNING 1/20/02.*AK
