Problem overview

Some Buick Century owners report experiencing engine vibration and misfire issues due to a worn-out camshaft. These problems can manifest as engine misfires, which affect the precise timing of valve opening and closing, leading to incomplete combustion and rough engine operation. Additionally, worn camshaft lobes may not open valves properly, causing rough idling and further vibrations. Owners have noted that camshaft failure can result in a loss of power and decreased engine performance, as well as loud tapping and ticking noises from the engine due to increased valve clearance. It is crucial for owners to address any signs of camshaft wear promptly to prevent further damage and restore optimal engine performance.
