#6 of 12 1996 Buick Century Emergency brakes by jesse2006 Apr 05, 2007 (2:35 pm)
the emergency brakes release automatically. They will not hold. I've tried to adjustthem by driving in reverse and slamming on the brakes. It did no good. Any ideas?

#8 of 12 1998 Century heater fan squealing! by rips Apr 20, 2007 (9:13 pm)
My sister has gotten my parents 1998 (I believe) Century and the heater/air conditioning fan squeals like crazy when it is on.She doesn't have much money to fix it so I was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on quick fix. The dealership said it would require tearing out the dash and hundreds of dollars.                                     Thank You,                                                                                  Jeff Ripple
#9 of 12 1994 Buick Century Brake Problems by ladamski Aug 12, 2007 (12:48 pm)
I own a 1994 Buick Century. I have experienced intermittent complete brake loss, usually when driving a slow pace, which is quite fortunate! I have taken it to a few Buick Dealers, other mechanics and no one can tell me what the problem is. They drive it around and it does not happen. They have looked at everything under the hood and can not tell me why it continues to happen. I have stopped driving it for fear it will happen again, which it will, and I don't want to hurt anyone, or myself! Can someone tell me why this could be happening??? The only thing that has happened is the antilock brake light goes on. This was checked out by a dealer and told me it was nothing but a minor electrical short but had nothing to do with me loosing the brakes. The brakes go all the way to the bottom and then when I pump they come back. I have been extremely lucky but, I need help!!! Can anyone give me advice????? Buick has no answers and no mechanic can tell me either???? I am at a complete loss!.....PLEASE HELP!
#10 of 12 Re: LEFT FRONT WHEEL BRAKE NOT RELEASING [1100000000000] by jheinze Oct 26, 2007 (9:34 am)
Replying to: 1100000000000 (Nov 23, 2006 10:22 pm) what did you do to fix your issue, I have a 1992 century doing the same thing. The brake lines have been replaced, (thought it might be a collapsed line) but the issue persists. the antilock valve body is next thing in line. I'm hoping for something else to have gone bad (a new one is $650-800)thanks! Replies to this message: 1100000000000 (Oct 26, 2007 6:30 pm)

Replying to: jheinze (Oct 26, 2007 9:34 am) I REPLACED THE ABS SYSTEM AND THAT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I JUST GOT A USED ONE OUT OF A SALVAGE YARD FOR 80.00 AND THAT'S ALL IT TOOK. GOOD LUCK.......TOM.

Replying to: frogger14 (Nov 17, 2006 7:55 pm) I also have a 2002 Buick Century with a "No traction" light warning. Ater 3 tries of taking it to a Service center, who advised me that it was in the wheel bearing sensor.(which they supposedly replaced). The problem keeps reappearing.When I make a slow left turn, I hear a buzzing noise and it seems like the brakes want to lock up. I am afraid to drive it in the city. However it does not happen when on a highway with no slow turns. I'm frustrated. I'm hearing that this model has frequent brake probloems. Can anyone help?
