2002 Buick Park Avenue 4dr Sedan

supercharged 240hp 3.8L V6 4-speed automatic FWD

150000 mi

Steering a little "loose". Dealer found bad front suspension "carrier" assy (brake and wheel mount to this), plus bad inner tie rod end. Replaced both, now much better steering.

US $1200
Rattle in exhaust, engine hunts when shifts out of overdrive, but not into 3rd gear. Had Exhaust system replaced, cleaned injectors. Still hunts a lot out of overdrive. Hunting not cured. Some say this is a bad solenoid in tranny. 
215000 mi

US $300
Engine "misses" cold at 60-70mph. Dealer said coil pack towers slightly rusted, some injectors "slow". Cleaned coil towers and ran injector cleaner. Now ok. 
227000 mi

US $700
Wheel bearing assy in right front replaced. The left front had been replaced at 188,000 miles. Also, did the front brakes. Dealer says rear valve cover seal leaking.
