Started to have strong odor of gasoline inside of car when engine was running. I checked to see if there was gasoline leaking from motor when I had the engine turned off without any luck. had to keep windows rolled down because odor was so strong from the gasoline fumes. this all happened one week before I was admitted to the hospital for respiratory issues. on june 4TH was admitted to hospital with respiratory problems for three days in the telemetry unit for respiratory distress. on june 10, 2011, I took the car to my mechanic and he discovered a pin hole leak in the plastic fuel rail on this car. my mechanic said this IS a high pressure fuel rail and gm made this out of plastic that failed. he said the car IS can not be driven that way it IS and that the part need to fix the problem IS not available per the gm dealers. He also told me this part may be under a recall notice and that I should check it out. he said it was a wonder the car had not caught on fire since the entire engine was covered in gasoline from the leak from the fuel rail. I contacted a buick dealership called grand auto, inc. In thornton, co and talked with the parts department and the service department. I talked with the service department manager named brian vaughn and he and the parts department said there was not a problem with this part and they refused to even listen to me concerning the issue. I looked on the nhtsa web site and found many other people having the same problem with this same part that I have. there have been other recalls on this year and model car but gm never notified the owners about the recalls until they had class action law suits against them. I now respiratory problems issues because of this defective part.

After 20 miles of smooth driving with no indication of anything going wrong and while pulling into the parking lot of my office my check engine light came on, I always immediately shutoff my vehicle any time such thing happens to prevent any damage to the vehicle, I proceeded to walk into the parts store next to my office to get power steering fluid due to the low fluid level I had, however when I tried to turn over the motor the motor would not turn. My mechanic told me it was "hydrolocked" and that there IS a coolant passage which IS commonly known to leak into cylinder 6 and locking the motor requiring the intake and gaskets to be replaced. This happened less than 30days after my vehicle passed inspection at a dealership. Also noting that the dealer was told I was losing about a gallon of coolant weekly. A coolant elbow was repaired, then two days later IS when the motor locked. *Tr

In 10 degree weather in the midwest, started the 1997 park avenue ultra to warm up. put the rear defrost on, on my way to work about 20 minutes after he initial start of the vehicle, I began to smell something relating to burning electrical or electrical components. upon further investigation, I found the module in the drivers side "c" pillar next to the rear window appeared to be melting/burning. I removed the module and found the power connector to the module had completely melted and almost caused an electrical fire. due to my experience in electronics and vehicle electrical systems I was able to repair the module and replace the burned connectors with another type of connector. I would recommend anyone that owns a gm with this module, check connections and put electric safe dielectric grease on the connections to avoid arcing and possible fire. *Tr

My vehicle IS a 1997 buick park ave with 140,000 miles. I'm the second owner. My in-laws were the original owners. I got the vehicle from them in 1999 with approximately 9000 miles on the vehicle. Therefore, I know the complete car care history of this vehicle. Yesterday, september 1, 2008 my granddaughter was driving this car and she lost control of the vehicle due to lost of steering capabilities. No one was injured nor body damage due to her low speed when this incident occurred. The tow truck operator indicated that the engine cradle split into pieces due to rust and this caused the steering to fail since the steering rack IS mounted to this engine cradle. the rust through of this the engine cradle (or engine frame) was confirmed by the repair shop today, september 2, 2008. The repair shop indicated that the 1997 buick park ave's had a steel engine cradle and that the moisture and salt gets caught within this box frame due to it's position directly behind the wheel wells. The repair shop indicated that 1998 park ave's( and after) have aluminum engine cradles but that the 1998 part will not fit the 1997 buick park ave. the only repair IS to find another used engine cradle from a 1997 buick park ave which costs approximately $400 to $500 just for the used part. The other alternative IS to buy a new engine cradle from a gm dealership for approximately $1200 to $1400. it seems to me that this engine cradle IS a very critical part of the frame of the car and should not rust through within 10 years. All of the steering controls are mounted to this part and when this engine cradle fails all steering capabilities are lost. please review this web site for the same part failure by other 1997 buick park ave owners (http://www.allworldauto.com/comments/1997_buick_park_avenue_comments_and_complaints_c42-256-1997-312-1.html. *tr

I drove my car out to a restaurant and parked it. when I tried to start it to go home a couple hours later, it would not turn over. I tried it again the next morning and then had it towed to my mechanic where he discovered that it was 'liquid locked because antifreeze had leaked into a cylinder and would not allow the piston to move up. I am looking at 2500 dollars for repairs and a week to get the parts and do it. there are tsb's out on this problem and it IS a common problem. I feel I should have been notified of the problem and gm should shoulder the costs for the repair because it was caused by a defective gasket. *tr

Several years ago the front passenger seat belt ceased working on my 1997 buick park avenue. since the car was no longer under warranty, I paid for a new seatbelt assembly and installation. Then, on august 6TH (two weeks ago) 2007, the driver side seatbelt became inoperable(the seatbelt will not retract), therefore making it useless. I have been driving another vehicle until I can get this repair done. *Tr
