problem #1

Century Custom 3.1L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 121,000 miles

One day when driving i realized my steering wheel was vibrating pretty badly and every time i made a left turn a loud clicking sound was heard. Later that day i raised the car up on a jack and when i looked underneath the problem was very noticeable. The sway bar had completely snapped off on the left side and was badly cracked on the right. Unfortunately i didnt have the time or tools to fix this myself so i had to put it in a shop and the total price for parts+labor was $727. Pretty upsetting since this happened right around the holidays.

Overall Buick is a horrible company, so many things have gone wrong with this car and its never a cheap fix. Im a college student right now so cant really afford another car, im afraid im stuck with this piece of crap. This car is like a ticking time bomb you just never know when something is gunna go wrong with it. However in the future i can promise you i will be buying foreign!
