While I don't have a specific solution to your complaint, I did find a site that lists many, many service bulletins related to braking problems on the 2002 Buick Century. Why not take a look to see if any of these complaints sound like yours.

Good luck.

If it is hard only in reverse ,just a spring in the accumlator,easy
in car fix. If it's hard in drive ,bet on the pressure regulator
Under the side cover ,trans has to come out .

If you know where the heater hoses are, lift the hood after car has warmed up I mean the engine running for at least five minutes, feel the heater hoses, if they are warm or hot and still no heat from the heater, you have an in line proiblem. if hoses remain cold, replace the thermostat with a winter thermostat.

Have the throttle position sensor checked

we have the same problem as well as in cold weather the shift lever is stuck in park until the car warms up???

Check motor mounts.

I would suggest hat you replace the timing belt. The noise that you hear is the belt.

You might want to check the ECT (engine coolant temperature sensor) It could be defective and telling the PCM (car's computer) that the engine coolant is cold all the time.

The wire harness on the right side as you raise the trunk could have a broken wire
