Parents have a 2005 Park Ave. In the last few months it has been acting goofy. Below are a list of things it has done. The seat is always set all the way back. 3-4 times it has automatically adjusted itself while out of the car to move all the way up and to tilt all the way up. Alarm has go…

Seat memory… does it also reset the mirror? If yes then I assume it never memorized the setting. Correction to seat adjustment: The way you describe it, it is perfectly OK for the seat to go back and raise. It’s a feature to make it easier to get up and exit the vehicle. Low tire pressure… can fre…

With all due respect . . . The idle speed has been non adjustable on the vast majority of automobiles for quite some time now

I suspect that this is possibly a flood vehicle. There are just too many problems , I would just bail out if possible because this is an accident waiting to happen.

A routine maintenance battery service & testing the battery and charging system makes sense. The stalling and inconsistent idle speed could be related, or that could be another problem. What to do depends on the configuration of the idle control mechanism used on that vehicle. Checking the throt…

The mirrors have never changed. The tire pressure light keeps coming on every time you restart the car. It does not matter if it was sitting overnight or if you just drove 30 miles, stopped for a few mins and started it up. Thanks for the video on the oil change light. And yes I did check tires …

kurtwm2010: Low tire pressure… can frequently come on after the car has been parked overnight. No, sorry. Tire pressure should be measured when the tires are cold, ie, at normal ambient temperature. The TPMS (Tire Pressure Monitoring System) is setup to do the same.

[image] BillRussell: Tire pressure should be measured when the tires are cold I agree with that in general. What I was trying to say, maybe poorly, is that the tire pressure light may come on when a car is parked overnight and the temperature falls. The pressure in one or more tires may go do…

These problems can be all connected to one bad circuit and will not be solved unless checked out by a person whose primary job is electrics. A Buick dealer will not necessarily be your best choice nor a basic independent garage. There are facilities and mobile services that do solely electric troubl…

Mr. Sanders, why would I need to do that ? It is not one of my vehicles being discussed?

Lift up the carpet in the trunk and inspect the floor in the corners. Also take out the spare tire and inspect the floor inside the tire recess. If the car was in a flood, mud may still be visible even after cleaning.
