Extensive suspension work at 30,000 miles (poor quality stock parts)
Fuel gage replacement at 35,000 miles.
Interior fit and finish problems.
Vibrations in steering system turning sharply at low speed.
Handles very well and I get just shy of 30 mpg.
The seats are terribly un-supportive and have no lumbar control, a sin for a car in this class.
If you are over 5' 8" you will quickly get claustrophobia and you will bang your head a lot on the roof and door pillar. Very cramped considering the exterior dimensions.
Deafening thumping/roaring sound when rear windows are opened at highway speed.
Despite the fuel gage replacement, the warning light and chime still goes on with 5 gallons left. Very annoying.
I still wish I had my old Chevy. R.I.P.
Why don't you write a review on your Chevy? I'm driving a Celebrity myself (just got it) and want to hear what more people have to say about them.
If you don't like the seats and "cramped" interior, why did you buy this car? Really, it doesn't make any sense!
We are having a problem with the power window on the
drivers side of the car with less than 50,000 miles.
The window will not go up or down.
May 8,2003.
Our Century has less than 50,000 miles also, and we took
it in this morning for a water pump, and the vacuum lines
that control the heating & a/c. Our drivers window also
does not go up or down.
My Transmission went out at 38,000 miles then again at 42,000 miles. Fortunately I purchased an extended warranty. My water pump started leaking at 50,000. My left rear window motor has been replaced twice. The first time was at 38,000 miles. My driver side window motor was replaced at about 80,000 miles. At about 60,000 miles my Anti-Lock warning light started coming on every now & then.
I have a 98 Buick Century Custom. I have not had any of the things go wrong that you did. However the initial review did mention some very important things:
1. The thumping / vibrating noise when a rear window only is open is very real and very loud and annoying. What the hell? It's actually almost painful. It's easily resolved by opening a front window too.
2. The seats are very unsupportive.
3. The fuel warning light does go on very early. I've easily driven several days past when the warning light goes on. In fact, even when fuel gauge shows empty (right on the E line), I've still got about 2 gallons.
However, I disagree strongly about the reviewers opinion of the cramped interior. I'm 6'0", and am very heavy for my height, and this car is very comfortable and roomy, with the exception of the unsupportive drivers seat.
My only repairs so far is an AC compressor, passenger side window motor, and the turn signal control yoke needed replacing. Not a great repair record, but not too bad. Nothing that left me stranded on the road somewhere.
