I HAVE HAD FIVE OR SIX FAILURES ON THIS PART ON MY TWO 1999 REGAL GS. WOULD OF BEEN MOR BUT I WAIT UNTIL DISPLAY FADES MORE UNTIL I REPLACE. DEALER IS AWARE. FACTORY IS AWARE. I HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY, SO IT IS FREE. PEOPLE ON YOUE SITE HAD TO PAY $600.00. THIS WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT BECAUSE YOU CAN NOT TELL WHAT IS SET IN THE HVAC. IF YOU NEED A CONSTANT HEAT AND DEFOG YOU CAN NOT TELL. NO DISPLAY. HAVE TO PUT HAND TO TELL ON VENTS. GM IGNORING THE PROBLEM! NOT BEING ABLE TO TELL IF YOU ARE IN DEFOG IS A SAFETY ISSUE! MR

CONSUMER STATES THAT THE VEHICLE WILL ROLL DOWN THE DRIVEWAY IF THE PARKING BRAKE IS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR, THE DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIND ANY PROBLEM. *SLC

LEFT FRONT WHEEL BEARINGS BROKE OFF WHILE CONSUMER WAS DRIVING AT 35 MPH, AND LEFT FRONT WHEEL FELL OFF VEHICLE. CONTACTED DEALER. *AK

THE NUT THAT SECURES THE DRIVERS SIDE WIPER ARM TO THE DRIVE SHAFT CAME LOOSE DURING A DRIVING RAIN STORM WHILE TRAVELING ON THE PA TURNPIKE. THE WIPERS WERE OPERATING ON THE HIGHEST SPEED. THE WIPER ARM FLEW OFF FROM THE DRIVE SHAFT AND CAME TO REST AGAINST THE DRIVERS SIDE VIEW MIRROR. DRIVERS VISION IMMEDIATELY AND SEVERELY IMPAIRED DUE TO THE HEAVY DOWNPOUR AND ONLY WITH GREAT DIFFICULTY AND CAUTION (NEGOTIATING THROUGH OTHER TRUCK/CAR TRAFFIC) WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE OFF THE ROAD. YOU WOULD EXPECT A NUT, SECURING SUCH A CRITICAL ITEM, WOULD BE DESIGNED NOT TO COME LOOSE. TURNPIKE SERVICE REATTACHED THE WIPER ARM AND NUT AT NO CHARGE.*AK
