1994 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon review from North America
"Great all round vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Outer tie rod, loose, replaced.
A week later, inner tie rod threads stripped and the rod disconnected: I suddenly lost steering! Everything checks out now, but the steering still slips from time to time.
Intermittent total electrical failures. Mechanic unable to find cause.
General comments?
I love the car. It's comfortable, fast, economical (got 24 mpg on one highway tank), but lately the steering and electrical problems have got me spooked. I hope I can fix everything because this is the best car I've ever had. I've been using it like a truck to move plywood sheets and lumber, and as a hotel (slept in the back several nights on the road).
