2002 Buick Century

MY 2002 BUICK CENTURY DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WITH THE FOLLOWING LIGHTS COMING ON - SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT, ANTI LOCK. I HAD THE CAR AT MY LOCAL BUICK DEALER AND REPAIRS WAS MADE TO THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL. THIS WORK WAS DONE UNDER WARRUNTY. I HAD TO MAKE SEVERAL TRIPS BACK TO THE DEALER TO GET THE LIGHTS STOPPED FROM COMING ON, NOW THE LIGHTS ARE COMING ON AGAIN AND IT IS VERY ANNOYING. THE PROBLEM STARTED LAST MAY 2003. IT WAS CORRECTED AROUND AUGUST 2003 NOW IN APRIL 2004 IT IS STARTING AGAIN. I HAVE NO IDEA IF I AM HAVING BRAKE PROBLEMS WITH THESE LIGHTS INTERMITTENTLY COMING ON. THEY ARE CONSTANTLY COMING ON IN DAMP WEATHER.*AK

I HAVE A 2002 BUICK CENTURY. LAST YEAR I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDSHIELD GETTING STUCK IN A VERTICAL POSITION. IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND WAS FIXED BY THE DEALER, WHO HANDED ME A RECEIPT INDICATING REPLACEMENT OF COST APPROX. $400.00. WELL IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND THIS TIME NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO A RESPONSIBLE AUTO REPAIR SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT WHOEVER FIXED IT LAST YEAR DID IT THE CHEAPEST WAY POSSIBLE, THAT'S WHY IS BROKE AGAIN. HOW WAS I HANDED A BILL FROM BUICK DEALER SAYING IT COST $400.00 TO REPLACE PARTS? NOW I HAVE TO PAY $150.00 THIS TIME. WHAT WAS BUICK DEALER TRYING TO DO GOUGE ME, IMPRESS ME. I DON'T THINK I'LL BUY ANOTHER BUICK.*AK

THE REAR DEFROST HAD 5 LINES THAT QUIT, ALSO CAUSED RADIO ANTENNA THAT IS ON THE REAR WINDOW TO QUIT WHEN TURNING ON REAR DEFROST. WINDOW WAS REPLACED AND SAME THING HAS HAPPENED WITH SECOND WINDOW. DEALERSHIP ACCUSED ME OF DAMAGING WINDOW AND WILL NOT REPLACE SECOND WINDOW UNDER WARRANTY. ALSO HAVE CHIRPING NOISE NEAR SPEEDOMETER THAT DEALERSHIP HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIX AFTER 4 REPAIR ATTEMPTS. DEALERSHIP HAS DESTROYED ENTIRE DASHBOARD TRYING TO REPAIR NOISE.

ON 12/12/03 AFTER PULLING INTO THE LOCAL SNAPPY CARWASH, OUR 2002 BUICK CENTURY WOULD NOT CRANK THE ENGINE. THE IGNITION WOULD WIND UP BUT NOT ENGAGE THE ENGINE. WE CALLED OUR DEALERSHIP, BUT BECAUSE IT WAS 44,000 MILES ON THE CAR, AND THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY IS NOW UP, THERE WAS NOTHING THEY WERE PREPARED TO DO TO HELP US. WE CALLED OTHER DEALERSHIPS AND THEY RESPONDED THE SAME. WE HAD TO LEAVE IT AND RENT A CAR BECAUSE OF TRAVEL THAT COULD NOT BE POSTPONED. UPON OUR RETURN MONDAY NIGHT, MY HUSBAND DECIDED TO CHECK IF THE CAR WOULD START. IT IMMEDIATELY STARTED AND RAN FINE FOR ONE ENTIRE DAY. ON WEDNESDAY, 12/17/03, IT QUIT AGAIN WHILE ON IDLE IN FRONT OF OUR LOCAL WAL-MART. NOTHING WOULD MAKE IT START. WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS IN THE STORE TO BUY STARTING FLUID TO CHECK IF THAT WOULD START IT, I KEPT BUMPING THE STARTER AND FINALLY IT CRANKED. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM OF FUEL-PUMPS IN THESE VEHICLES. WE ARE NOW BEING CHARGED OVER $500.00 FOR THE FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT AND LABOR TO DO THE SERVICE. CAN THERE BE A REBATE FOR US, SINCE IT IS HAPPENING TO OTHERS? THIS IS A DANGEROUS OCCURANCE, SINCE WE COULD BE LEFT STRANDED ANYWHERE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.*AK
