2001 Buick Century Limited review from North America
"Very comfortable, but unreliable"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Where do I start? This is one of the most comfortable cars I have ever owed.
But as far as reliable, no way.
Intake manifold gasket; $200 doing it myself.
Rear stabilizer bar; $120.
Transmission $2200 dollars.
EGR valve $100.
Now my wheel sensors.
Trading it in. Just in the last couple months I've stuck probably about 3500 dollars. I'm a G.M. guy too. But I would say if you own one, sell it, they're all lemons.
Not to mention the thing is a ticking time bomb if you know what I mean. Love that piston slapping in the morning.
