2000 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"Dishonest dealers are killing Buick"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 22,700 miles the Automatic Transmission developed major mechanical
trouble totaling $655.81. Although this was under the GM Factory Certified Warranty
3 month or 3000 miles the dealer would not repair the car. This Pikeville, Ky.
General Motors dealer claimed that my
purchase of a basic drive train extended warranty had canceled out the
GM Factory Certified Warranty.
In the 11th week the car began to put water out the exhaust at idle indicating possible blown head gaskets
or cracked heads. It began to run rough also.
The digital dash gear selector and odometer does not always work. You cannot tell what gear it is in.
This car was advertised as having undergone a rigorous 110 point inspection and maintenance in order to
qualify as a GM Factory Certified (only the best) the dealer had not even changed the oil and filter, air cleaner,
fuel filter and transmission filter.
Both front doors were difficult to open.
If all dealers are like this run the other way if you see a Factory Certified sticker. It is a joke.
General comments?
This large Buick Century Limited is
grossly under powered with the 3100 V6.
The leather interior is nice and roomy.
The ride is very comfortable.
The brake system is better.
