This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
: the contact stated the engine's intake manifold was leaking antifreeze. The non service dealer determined the top of the motor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a service dealer
: the contact stated while traveling 20 mph the vehicle stalled. No warning lights illuminated prior to the failure. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was determined to have a faulty cam shaft. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced.
Cooling system defect in 1999 Buick Century. Cooling system is being containminated by brown substance in system, causing the system to overheat. Reported to dealer three times. They have a tsb out on this, but no clue on what is causing this. They have inspected the vehicle three times, flushed the system, and replaced the radiator cap, but problem reccurs. Now it is going in for the fouth time. Problem was not corrected under original warranty, now the extended warranty that I purchased is about to run out, yet having the same problem. If they have a tsb out on this, why can't they fix the problem once and forever?
