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.

The contact owns a 1999 Buick Century. The contact was driving approximately 50 mph when the check engine and track off warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was later towed to a local mechanic where the contact was advised that the ABS sensor and other wires were bound by electrical tape and the fuel and brake lines were corroded. In addition, there were missing plugs which prevented water from entering the vehicle on both the driver and passenger sides. Both the brake line and the transmission were leaking fluids. There was a hole in the front sub frame and the fuel filler neck was corroded. The contact also stated that part of the exhaust hanger was missing and the remaining parts were corroded. The mechanic advised the contact that the vehicle would be far too costly to perform any repairs. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was purchased used March 17, 2010. The failure mileage was 56,500 and the current mileage was 56,528.

Brake failure, front brake line corrosion (rust through) resulting in complete loss of brake fluid. Thankfully no accident resulted. Correction required new brake line replacement and replacement of lost fluid, etc this failure is the same type which occurred to our 2000 Buick Century. In that car first the front brake line failed (like the 1999 did), and about a year later the rear brake line failed with the same corrosion problem. The incident happened out of state and the repair shop manager stated "this has become a common problem and that he has replaced many failed brake lines.

The brake lines on my 1999 Buick Century corroded, fluid leaked and the brakes failed. Fortunately, I noticed the brakes beginning to fail (pedal went all the way to the floor), so I drove defensively and was not involved in an accident. I was only a short distance from my local garage and went there directly to have the lines replaced. They told me that the lines had rotted through. I assumed that this was something that happens in areas that use winter salt, but hearing of the recall of GM trucks, I now realize that this may not be a "normal" event. The parts in question are no longer available.

The vehicles brakes went out just after getting the tires rotated. According to the mechanic that repaired the brakes, there was a recall on the brakes and headlights. The consumer didnt take the vehicle to the dealer because they previously didn't do work they were suppose to do.
