AS THE 3RD OWNER OF A 1999 BUICK CENTURY LIMITED I DID A THOROUGH SEARCH OF CARS HISTORY AND FOUND NO PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY 8 9 2013 WHEN I TOOK IT IN FOR RADIATOR HOSE CHANGE COOLING SYSTEM FLUSH AND OIL CHANGE WHICH LATER WAS TOLD ALLTHEY COULD DO WAS THE TRANNY FLUSH BECAUSE OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD GASKET LEAK WHICH IM HEARING IS A HUGE 3.1 GM ENGINE PROBLEM. UPPON CALLING THE FORMER OWNER SHE INFORMED ME THAT AT 50,000 IT WAS REPLACED AND AGAIN AT 108,765 MILES. IT NOW HAS 137549 MILES AND IY HAS AGAIN TAKEN A DUMP I HEAR A COOLANT TYPE CONVERSION CAN HELP MY $700.00 PROBLEM. IM OUTRAGED THAT A CAR IN THIS GOOD OF CARE IS A BIG DISASTER. RECALL IS NEEDED & I SHOULDA KEPT MY 92 CENTURY WITH THE 3.3 V6 IT HAD 374,988 MILES AT TRADE IN & STILL RAN...
I PULLED INTO A PARKING SPACE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE AND WAS JUST RELEASING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD WHEN THE CAR LUNGED VIOLENTLY FORWARD AS IF THE GAS PEDAL WAS TO THE FLOOR. THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME TO DO ANY THING EXPECT A REFLEX TO TURN THE WHEEL TO AVOID HITTING THE BUILDING HEAD-ON. THE CAR SCRAPED THE SIDE OF THE BUILDING ONLY STOPPING WHEN IT HIT A VAN. AFTER THE CAR STOPPED MOVING, I PUT IT IN PARK AND TURNED OFF THE IGINITION. THE IMPACT WAS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO DEPLOY THE AIR BAGS. MY FEET WERE NOT ON THE BRAKE OR GAS WHEN THIS OCCURRED. MY SON-IN-LAW WENT TO YOUR SITE TO SEE IF THERE WAS A RECORD OF THIS HAPPENING BEFORE AND THERE WAS ALMOST AN EXACT DESCRIPTION ON A PREVIOUS INCIDENT. *LA
