1994 Buick Roadmaster review from North America
"So much potential, yet falls apart"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Water pump blew, causing extensive related damage to engine parts.
Transmission blew, needed to replace.
Starter died, had to be replaced.
Rear wheel bearings blew, causing dangerous wear on the rear axle; needed to replace the axle.
Battery, battery cables, and alternator have all failed and needed to be replaced.
General comments?
This car is powerful, fashionable, comfortable seats and roomy interior, great sound system, and an all-around fantastic road-trip car.
If only it wouldn't fall apart after 115,000 miles, I would absolutely love it and want to keep it until 200k miles.
