2002 Buick Century

AT A STOP ON A HILL WHEN DEPRESSING THE BRAKES THERE WAS A MINOR VEHICLE ROLL BACK ONCE THE FOOT WAS OFF THE BRAKE PEDAL TO DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. DEALERSHIP WAS NOTIFIED, BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK THE VEHICLE WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE ROLLBACK WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TESTED IT ROLLED BACK A DISTANCE OF 15 FEET AT A SPEED OF 15MPH. THE VEHICLE STALLED DISABLING BRAKES AND POWER STEERING. THE HEADLIGHTS ON LOW BEAM DO NOT MERGE. THEY ACT AS TWO SEPARATE SPOTLIGHTS AND DISTANCE APPEARS TO BE LIMITED. THE CONSUMER STATED THAT EVENTUALLY GENERAL MOTORS REPURCHASED THE VEHICLE. *TC

I HAVE A 2002 BUICK CENTURY CUSTOM. THE MULTIFUNCTION LIGHT, WIPER, CRUISE SWITCH INTERMITTENTLY FAILS AND I LOSE MY HEADLIGHTS. I WAS DRIVING ON A MOUNTAIN ROAD THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED AND I HAD TO TURN ON MY HAZARDS AND FIND A PLACE TO STOP WITH A LOT OF TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. ON TWO OTHER OCCASSIONS I HAD OTHER MOTORISTS FLASH ME TO LET ME KNOW TO TURN ON MY LIGHTS. THE FAILURE HAS HAPPENED A LOT SINCE AND I HAVE TO JIGGLE THE SWITCH TO GET IT TO WORK. THIS FAILURE IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND HAS PUT ME AT SERIOUS RISK. I HAVE NOW FIGURED OUT THAT JIGGLING THE SWITCH WILL BRING THE LIGHTS BACK ON BUT THAT IS NO HELP IF I DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY ARE OUT. I WENT TO THE BUICK DEALER AND THEY WANT NEARLY $500.00 TO FIX THIS. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT AND I WILL HAVE TO PARK THE CAR FOR A FEW OF WEEKS UNTIL I CAN AFFORD TO FIX IT. MY REAL CONCERN IS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HAVE BUICK CONTACT ME.*AK

THE REVERSE LIGHTS AND TAG LIGHT STOPPED WORKING DUE TO FRAYING OF WIRES NEAR TRUNK HINGE. FRAYING ALSO CASED THE "TRUNK/DOOR" LIGHT TO ILLUMINATE ON DASH UNTIL REPAIRED. CHEAP PLASTIC COVERING DID NOTHING TO PREVENT FRAYING FROM CONTACT WITH TRUNK HINGE. AT 3000 MILES, HAD TO GO TO DEALER THREE TIMES TO HAVE STEERING COLUMN REPLACED DUE TO LOUD NOISE WHEN WHEEL WAS TURNED. SUN VISORS ARE HARD TO USE, THEY HIT REARVIEW MIRROR WHEN ADJUSTED. INADEQUATE EVEN WHEN USED. VERY LOUD POPPING SOUND ON DRIVER'S SIDE AT TIMES UNDER BRAKE PEDAL. GOOD CAR OTHERWISE.
