Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: We drove from home to olathe, ks and back to a kohl's at shawnee station on our way home. we parked the buick and when i tried to start the buick it failed to start. i thought it might be the battery. i waited a few minutes and tried to start the buick. the buick started but white smoke come out of the tailpipe and it began to shake tremendously like we were in a big storm. we had the buick towed to firestone and they said the air manifold rings let the anti-freeze up the motor and the shaking caused oil to leak. we were fortunate that this didn't happen somewhere else. *jb
