2002 BUICK REGAL Complaints

WHEN DRIVING IN THE RAIN, THE CONSUMER NOTICED WHEN TURNING THE A/C ON TO HELP DEFROST THE WINDSHIELD FROM THE MIST ON THE WINDSHIELD, THE CONSUMER STILL COULD NOT SEE OUT OF THE WINDOW. *JB WHILE BRAKING THE VEHICLE PULLS TO THE LEFT OR RIGHT. THE DEALER REPLACED THE WHEEL BEARINGS. THE DRIVER'S DOOR AND REAR PASSENGER DOOR WERE MISALIGNED AND AS A RESULT THEY WOULD NOT SHUT PROPERLY. *NM

WHILE SITTING AT AN INTERSECTION ANOTHER VEHICLE REAR ENDED CONSUMER'S VEHICLE. THIS CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO MOVE FORWARD AND THE SEAT BELT FAILED TO HOLD THE DRIVER AND SHE HIT HER HEAD ON THE STEERING WHEEL. *AK *JB

CONSUMER HAD LITTLE SATISFACTION IN CORRECTING THE "BRAKE PULSATION." *PH THERE WERE SEVEN OCCURRENCES OF BRAKE PULSATION WHILE IN MOTION. *MR (NPO-400 REQ#39375DB) *SC *JB

"SERVICE VEHICLE SOON" LIGHT COMES ON AFTER DRIVING A FEW MILES ALONG WITH THE "ANTI-LOCK" LIGHT AND "TRAC OFF" LIGHT. READING THE BUICK MANUAL, THIS INDICATES SOME SORT OF BRAKING SYSTEM PROBLEM WHICH WOULD EXPLAIN WHY ONCE THOSE LIGHTS CAME ON, I HAD TO PRESS THE BRAKE ALMOST TO THE FLOOR. DEALER STATED "I DON'T SEE A BRAKE PROBLEM AT THIS TIME. IT'S AN IGNITION SWITCH PROBLEM." WHAT???? *JB

THE INTERIOR AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS FLICKERED, WHEN THE CONSUMER REMOVED HIS FOOT FROM THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. *JB

THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDSHIELD WIPER DID NOT WORK, THE DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE 4 TO 5 TIMES AND REPLACED THE ARM AND BLADE, HOWEVER THE PROBLEM RECURRED.*JB *TS

THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER/BUERKLE BUICK 3350 HIGHWAY 61, ST. PAUL, MN. 55110. SERVICE TEC REFUSED TO DOCUMENT THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE DISPLAY CIRCUIT WHICH INDICATES THE GEAR THE CAR IS IN. ON START-UP, THERE IS NO DISPLAY OF SHIFT POSITION OR RADIO DISPLAY. ABOUT 30-40 SECONDS LATER, THERE IS AN AUDIBLE "TINK" DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER IN THE DASH. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A DEFECTIVE RELAY IN THE CIRCUIT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO GET "CAUGHT" ON THIS ONE AFTER THE WARRENTY PERIOD IS UP. THIS REPORT ESTABLISHES AN OFFICAL RECORD OF THE PROBLEM TO ENSURE FUTURE REPAIR. IT IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS TO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT GEAR ONE IS IN , OTHER THAN GUESSING! MR

HEADREST IS MADE OUT OF HARD THICK PLASTIC, AND ARE NOT POSITIONED CORRECTLY WHICH COULD CAUSE NECK INJURY, ALSO WHEN CONSUMER HITS BRAKES THERE IS A GRINDING NOISE COMING FRONT THE FRONT SUSPENSION, THE DEALER STATED THE LEFT FRONT CRADLE MOUNT WAS MISALIGNED.*JB

CONSUMER STATED THE ODOMETER IS UNREADABLE IN STRONG DAYLIGHT, CONSUMER STATED THE ONLY WAY TO READ IT, IS TO REMOVE HIS PRESRCIPTION SUNGLASSES AND PUT HIS HEAD DOWN CLOSE TO THE DASH.*JB
