Park Avenue 8-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • 8,501 miles
Purchased a 2005 Buick Park Avenue from van buren Buick 2257 jericho turnpike garden city park, NY 11040 1-888-300-1376. Prior to purchase required several safety features and one of these was onstar system. Asked dealer if system was digital ready and was told that due to vehicle being a 2005 it already is digital ready and will be converted prior to 2008. Now GM tells me it is only analog and will cease to function by 12/31/07 vehicle went in for a safety defect (onstar) and work order #296327 fulled out"onstar cannot be upgraded to digital" therefore, a safety feature that I purchased which should be available for the life of the vehicle will no longer be available to the consumer even though I was assured that it will be upgraded. Dealer should re-purchase vehicle to be applied to a GM vehicle with digital onstar.
