I own (bought used) a 1999 buick century, at 27,000 miles my drivers windows regulator/motor went out. at 30,000 i hit a little bump while in a construction zone and the passenger side broke and fell down, of course i saw it and swerved a bit, but fortunately not too much. my mother owns a 2000 buick century, at 20,000 her drivers side window broke....i am just waiting for a few more miles and then her passenger side will go. general motors needs to make these parts better. i do believe it is a safety issue, due to the general reaction of something happening like that while a person is driving.
Loosing coolant. no external leaks can be found. from the information i have read, we probably have an intake manifold gasket problem.
Consumer discovered cracks in the sidewall of the tires due to them being dry rotted, all 4 tires were replaced. the upper strut mount was lubricated, the blower resistor in the air condition was replaced, the carpet was replaced, and there was a wind noise coming from the driver side window.ts *jb

Paint is peeling around the wheel wells and the lower panel, it looks like there is no primer for the paint to stick to.
