Transmission failure at 78,000 miles.
Alternator failure at 80,000 miles.
ABS brake module failure at 80,500 miles.
Very disappointed at the high cost of maintenance for this car. I purchased it for the "reliability" and low maintenance costs. In less than a year I have spent over $2100 in car repairs.
The alternator life expectancy on a Buick 3.8L is 100,000 miles. An after market replacement can be baught for around $100.00. I have replaced two and it only takes about 10 minutes to do yourself. Forget dealers.
I agree, my '93 SSE is a very big disappointment. I bought it last May and since then, the O2 sensor went, the alternator failed, heads-up display works when it wants to, and the driver info center disappears at times. Now the blower motor is going. I plan on selling the car ASAP.
