1997 Buick Park Avenue review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front seats continue to have problems.. head rests worst... electric raise and lower mechanism fails and has been replaced. Trim around base keeps falling off. Worst problem is that the head rests are too far to the back that they do not function as anything... in a crash you would have a broken neck before you head touched the rest... and it just will not serve as a headrest !!
General comments?
GM doesn't think it's a problem. Car OK in most all other aspects..
