Let me share my day  |
| |
| My day started out fabulous I woke up feeling very well compared to usual and I decided I was going to to the city to see my daughter and my two grandchildren. I made coffee and a lunch and had it in the fridge for my husband and his brother and off I went. I was a bit upset to find I was too late to go with my daughter to take my grandson to school but I felt better to see her come home with a Tim Hortons coffee for me. We had a good day. I spent the day visiting then I went to superstore I bought groceries and then I set for home. I was driving down the highway, thank goodness it's a divided highway. I had a semi transport truck ahead of me and for some reason he was way under the speed limit and I had a semi transport behind me who was doing speed plus. I pulled out and passed the semi and about the time I was half way point of taking the right lane my car died completely and I knew the semi behind me had already pulled out to pass the semi ahead of me and me too. I had no time to continue right and I went back to the left and managed to take the ditch. All I could hear was gears and I sat there for awhile shaking so bad I thought I'd die. I tried my car and it did start. No one stopped traffic continued. This is the fourth time my Buick has done this. I have been to two of the best mechanics around and I've had almost 800.00 worth of work done and they can't seem to find the problem. I've had parts replaced the whole nine yards but no luck. We have talked about a new vehicle so I guess this is the plan. I looked at a Kia and I didn't mind it too much. My car is a 1994 Buick Century. It owes me nothing, it's been a good car, but I may have to push it into the bone yard. It's a darn shame it doesn't burn a drop of oil between oil changes. I know the original owners and that car has always been maintained. I had a paint job done, no one believes me that it's a 1994, but this is too dangerous for anyone!!! I'm a Buick lover but out here a new one runs at at least 38,000.00. More than I can afford. I've seen second hand ones and they're in worse shape than what I have. Wish me luck!!! Take Care!!!

| | My Ex boyfriend's car would do the same thing. It would die for no reason. Every time he took the car to the shop it never acted up. He had so much replaced on it and finally had to get a different car because he was afraid of getting into an accident with it. I think it is some defect coming from the factory. His was a Buick also, but I don't remember the model. I am glad you are safe grandmaof2. Thank God you are okay. You might need to get a different car. That is dangerous. | | | | | | |

| | Yes my dear friend it is dangerous and it shook me bad. I would think if it was a factory defect it would have happened years ago but who knows??? At this point anything is possible. I find it interesting that other people have had the same problems with their Buick. I appreciate hearing from you and I will ask our mechanis about defects. Thank You for your comments, I appreciate that. Take Care. | | | |

| | wow, that is a harrowing experience! I am so glad that you are unharmed. Before you get the Kia make sure to read owner reviews on them. I have heard repeatedly of dissatisfaction. Breaking down parts, noises, unsolvable problems etc. They are made in Korea and the makers do not care to resolve issues. you may wish to look at something with a more reliable feedback? | | | | | | |

| | I am so glad you did not get hurt from this episode. Buicks seem to be the vehicle of choice for a lot of people. My moms was a 94 LeSabre and she didn't have a spot of trouble with it. As far as I know, one of my nieces is still driving it. But you are absolutely correct to find another car before this one causes a devastating accident. Good luck with your car search. I ended up getting a Jeep Liberty that I really really like...have you looked at those? | | | | | | |

| | My car really doesn't owe me anything, however when you come close to loosing your life, it's time to shop around. Unfortunately I won't be able to afford another Buick but I hope to find something soon. Thank You my friend, good to ear from you. Take Care!!! | | | |
