2000 Buick Century Custom review from North America
"Another GMC piece of crap"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Around 80000 miles the trans started to shift hard. Would have to pull off the road and shut off the car for a minute for the trans to reset. Had to have the solenoid changed twice, then had the trans rebuilt after putting on 10000 more miles. No more problems with the trans, we now have 130000 miles on car.
Other problems have sprang up, the engine lifters rattle at startup, and it quietens down after warming up.
The intake manifold is now leaking!
General comments?
GM should have never let this car move off the assembly line with all the problems; as always with big corporations, it's better to hush the problem and let it be sold, and then try to fix it afterwards. Corporate greed is what this really is and they want the taxpayers to bail them out, B-LLS-it!!! You deserve to go out of business, no wonder the Japanese are kicking your butts.
If you plan on staying in business, you better get back to basics and stop ripping off the American public with high pricing and unreliable JUNK!!!
