1998 Buick Skylark Custom review from North America
"A mistake to get it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the ABS pump in 2001.
The brakes pop all the time, took it to the dealer, they said it was the rotors, got it back less than week later, back to popping.
Less than 6 months after I bought the car, I had to replace the alternator on the car.
Now the electrical system is going bad. The radio changes channels all by itself, and lights in the car go out anytime it wants.
General comments?
I hate this car. I have put so much money in that I can't put in more right now.
