1996 Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon review from North America
"This is a comfortable car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The vehicle has a self leveling system which is a delight to drive. However, this leveling system "runs" every 10 to 12 minutes when the car is shut off and parked. The noise is quite annoying when camping. Any ideas what the problem is? Is it designed to run this way?
I needed to have the fuel pump replaced by a dealer last summer after a breakdown away from my garage.
General comments?
This Buick Roadmaster Collectors Edition is very comfortable. The automatic leveling system does a great job of keeping the headlights aimed just right. I drive at night fairly often and do enjoy this feature. My wife likes it so much I am browsing for another. Mine is a white woody with cloth seats. I am going for the leather seats next time.
