general problems of the 1999 Buick Century

Three problems related to electrical system have been reported for the 1999 Buick Century. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2016

1) need headlight adjustment instructions for a known recall. 2) every door window motor in the Buick failed on each window preventing the windows from lowering if in the up position or prevented the windows from raising if in a lowered position. The windows had to be duct taped shut in order to prevent rain from entering the vehicle cab and the failures happened over 2015 to 2016 and each had to be replaced with new motors. There are large numbers of Buick owners across the internet complaining about this issue but I don't believe Buick ever issued a recall but I believe they should have. If this isn't a recall, it should be because of the large number of vehicles experiencing this known failure. The closest Buick dealer to us is sam leman Chevrolet Buick, 1040 west center st. , eureka, IL. 309-467-2351.

2 Electrical System problem

Failure Date: 03/05/2014

I never was informed of any recalls on my 1999 Buick Century. Now I see all the advertisements on television, in the paper, online that the car can burn up. Brakes, steering, ignition. Which was repaired for 400 dollars. My engine warning light is on constantly, and they can't find what's going on. Once, it just completely stopped.
