What 1995 Buick Century owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
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.
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.
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.
Intake manifold gasket failed three times resulting in leakage and contamination of the engine oil required engine replacement. Mjs
