1995 Buick Riviera Transmission and drivetrain Problems

“While driving, began to smell odor of fuel in the cabin. Pulled to side of road, opened hood to witness fuel supply line to rear fuel injector rail leaking on to top of engine. Fuel continued to leak onto engine even after I shut off the car.”

“Traction control light came on at 35,000 miles in april 1999. I did not take into dealer until december 1999 because I did not know this was associated with the ABS system failure. So, instead of taking to dealer and for potential major expense of correcting traction control problem I chose to live without traction control. In december 1999 I took it in to dealership because I was tired of looking at the traction control light on. Was informed ABS system had failed and replaced valve kit. Cost was $870.76!!! Vehicle also made a popping noise in front suspension when making a right hand turn. …”

“The air conditioning and tranasmission have been checked out a number of times and the dealer says there is nothing wrong , the transmission sometimes does not shift and sticks in first gear , the air conditioning does not blow cool or cold air when it is hot and muggy out. It has been known to blow cool air on one side and hot air on another.”

“The car was shut off and parked with keys out. The car began to roll with no occupant and eventually hit a truck. The keys will come out of the ignition in any gear causing the car to roll if not completely in park, a very dangerous situation. The manufacturer was contacted and they say it is a maintenance issue. In addition the car seems to be loosing 2nd gear, car vibrates and makes noises at lower speeds.”

“Traction control light stayed on/needed for snowy conditions here in new england. Repl'd brake press. Mod.valve. Heat on drivers side doesn't throw out much hot air. Had it chk'd twice/o-rings repl'd/ and it still isn't working properly -(11/2000) new oil pan needed.”
