2003 Buick Century

MY 2003 BUICK CENTURY DEVELOPED A PROBLEM WHEREIN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ENERGIZE AT VERY ODD TIMES; I.E. WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, WHEN DRIVING AT A CONSTANT SPEED (LOW SPEED IN RESIDENTIAL AREA), WHEN SLOWING TO MAKE A TURN OR TO STOP BUT BEFORE BRAKES ARE APPLIED. WHEN THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM MYSTERIOUSLY ACTIVATED AS THE BRAKES WERE BEING APPLIED, MORE DISTANCE WAS USED TO BRING THE CAR TO A STOP. A MR GOODWRENCH SHOP TRIED TO FIND THE PROBLEM, BUT TO NO AVAIL. AT THE SAME TIME THIS WAS HAPPENING, THREE DASH LIGHTS WOULD SOMETIMES COME ON AND STAY ON UNTIL THE IGNITION WAS TURNED OFF. THE THREE LIGHTS WERE CHECK VEHICLE SOON, ANTI-LOCK, AND TRAC OFF. THESE SAME LIGHTS ALSO CAME ONE AND STAYED ON WHEN THE BRAKES SYSTEM WAS OPERATING NORMALLY. THE SHOP COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM WITH THIS EITHER. INCLUDING PUTTING ON NEW FRONT AND REAR BRAKES (INCLUDING FRONT ROTORS, I SPENT JUST OVER $900.00. THE ONLY THING I REALLY GOT WAS NEW BRAKES WHICH DO NOT NORMALLY COST ANYWHERE NEAR $ 900.00. I HAVE SINCE REMOVED THE FUSE FOR THE ANTI-LOCK SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING ELSE IS OKAY EXCEPT THAT I NOW HAVE TWO LIGHTS ON ALL THE TIME (ANTI-LOCK AND TRAC OFF). ALTHOUGH I SHOW AN INCIDENT DATE BELOW, THIS SITUATION HAS BEEN PRESENT FOR AT LEAST THREE MONTHS. *TR

ON3/25/05 I WENT TO THE [XXX], OFFICE TO REGISTER MY COLORADO TITLED AND REGISTERED 2003 BUICK CENTURY. THE AGENTS SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND MY SECOND VIN # FOR VERIFICATION AND I WOULD HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND PAY $20 FOR A SPECIAL VIN # , I DID. ONMAY 24 I PAID THE $20 AND A REGISTRATION WAS PROCESSED WITH PAYMENT OF $500.51 BY CHECK. AN ARIZONA TITLE WAS ISSUED AND NEGLIGENTLY I DID NOT DOUBLE CHECK THE VIN # THEY ISSUED ON IT AS [XXX]. MY INSURANCE NOTIFIED ME THAT THE # DID NOT CORRESPOND TO THE VIN THEY HAD ON RECORD FROM MY COLORADO ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF THE VEHICLE NEW FROM MIKE SHAW BUICK IN COLORADO SPRINGS AND SUBSEQUENT POLICIES ISSUED ON THAT VEHICLE. NOW WHEN I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED AT LIBERTY BUICK IN GLENDALE THE SERVICE MANAGER POINTED OUT THE TWO OBVIOUS VIN NUMBERS POSTED...ONE ON DRIVER'S SIDE ON THE DASH UNDER THE WINDSHIELD AND THE OTHER ON THE TRUNK LID. I JUST VERIFIED BOTH THOSE AS [XXX]. THIS CONFLICT PRESENTS A GENUINE PROBLEM IN MY PROOF OF OWNERSHIP OF THIS VEHICLE SINCE PURCHASED NEW. *JS INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
