general problems of the 1999 Buick Century

My car is nothing but a problem and very serious problem. I lost control of my car and almost get into accident. The abs breaks is not stable,so many electrical problems. Power windows is defect.

The contact owns a 1999 Buick Century. The contact's wife was applying the brakes while pulling into the driveway when the vehicle surged forward into the garage. There were no injuries and no police report was taken. The contact had not taken the vehicle to the dealership and had not spoken with the manufacturer to-date. The vehicle had not been repaired at the time of the complaint. The current and failure mileages were approximately 102,000. Updated 03/19/2010. Updated 07/14/jb.

Vehicle tends to hesitate to accelerate at various times while on the road. This occurs while the check engine light remains on.

Consumer was at a stop sign at an intersection with foot on brake, and without prior warning, vehicle took off, went into traffic, and collided with another vehicle. Dealership was aware of problem.

I pulled into a parking space & was just ready to complete brake and turn off engine when my car lunged forward as though the gas was floored. It was so fast I could do nothing! the car went barreling down the side of the building scraping the wall & only stopped when it hit a parked car. This car did this all on it's own. Now I am afraid to drive it when it gets out of repair (giuffre Buick). They said they have never heard of such a thing but I found a complaint just like it on your site.

When driving at any speed, and consumer takes foot off accelerator and the brake, the vehicle would start rolling backwards real fast.

While at a stop on a land decline vehicle will roll back when accelerating which may cause an accident. Dealer said it the characteristic of the vehicle.
