2012 BUICK REGAL Complaints

MY VEHICLE BATTERY WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE AFTER SEVERAL REPLACEMENT BATTERIES THE VEHICLE BATTERY IS COMPLETELY DRAINED OVERNIGHT AND WILL NOT START. I MUST GET A BOOST WITH CABLES OR THE BATTERY HAS TO BE COMPLETELY RECHARGED OR REPLACED

THE 2012 BUICK REGAL CONSUMES A QUART OR MORE OF OIL IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS OR 300 MILES. I AM PUTTING A QUART IN IT JUST TO GET IT TO READ ON THE DIP STICK AND MORE IF NEEDED. AS IT CONSUMES OIL, THE ENGINE GAINS A NOTICABLE TICKING NOISE WITH A ROUGH START. ALL OF THIS IS NOTICED WHILE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY OR RURAL ROAD. THE BACK RIGHT TIRE AND OR TIRE AREA MAKES A THUMPING NOISE AT ALL SPEEDS. THE TIRE IS NOT THE ISSUE. THE STABILITRAK WARNING LIGHT COMES ON OFTEN . I AM THE 3RD OWNER TO THE CAR WITH WITH 164,333 CURRENT MILES. THE CAR HAS HAD ROUTINE OIL CHANGES ETC BY ALL OWNERS.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. MECHANIC TOLD ME I NEEDED NEW BALLAST.

CONDENSATION IN HEADLIGHT CAUSING THE BULB TO QUIT. GET NEW BULB FOR $150, CHANGE BULB, IT RAINS, IT HAPPENS AGAIN. AM TOLD A NEW ASSEMBLY IS $1500. THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. SEEMS LIKE IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY BUICK.

IN THE 2 YEARS I'VE OWNED THIS VEHICLE, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BOTH REAR TURN SIGNAL BULBS 4 TIMES. THE SOCKET LOOKS MELTED. ON OCTOBER 3, 2020...THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT ADJUSTMENT STOPPED WORKING. IT CAN RECLINE BACK, BUT NOT RETURN TO THE UPRIGHT POSITION

MY HID HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY HAS A SEAL LEAK, CAUSING MOISTURE TO FORM IN IT EVERY MORNING WHICH RESULTS IN THE HEADLIGHT ELECTRICAL AND HEADLIGHT TO BURN OUT. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS THE DRIVERS SIDE, NOW THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE CONSEQUENCE IS THAT INADEQUATE LIGHTING MAY REDUCE THE VISIBILITY OF THE DRIVER, THUS INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN UNDER THE MANUFACTURE WARRANTY. *TR

BRAKE PEDAL WILL NOT RETURN FULLY AFTER IT IS APPLIED WHEN IT IS WARM AND HUMID. CAUSES BRAKE PEDAL TO STICK AND NOT ALLOW CRUISE CONTROL TO BE SELECTED. THE STUCK PEDAL ALLOWS THE CAR TO BE STARTED AND PLACED INTO GEAR WITHOUT A FOOT ON THE PEDAL. DID FIND THAT GM HAS NOT ONLY ISSUED A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THE DESCRIBED ISSUE BUT HAS ISSUED MULTIPLE REVISIONS TO COVER ADDITIONAL VEHICLES EACH TIME. GIVEN THAT THIS IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE BY THE MANUFACTURE, THIS SHOULD WARRANT A SERIOUS LOOKING INTO A RECALL ISSUE. TSB # PIC5692D DATED 05/11/2018 IS THE FOURTH REVISION AND THE ORIGINAL TSB PIC5692 IS DATED JULY, 2012. TSB PIC5692D EVEN STATES THAT A PRODUCT REVIEW IS REQUIRED. *TR

HID DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAME FULL OF CONDENSATION AND STOPPED WORKING. QUOTE FROM DEALER TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS $1800.

HID DRIVER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAME FULL OF CONDENSATION AND STOPPED WORKING. QUOTE FROM DEALER TO REPLACE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY IS $700 PLUS LABOR.

BOTH HEADLIGHTS LET WATER FROM RAIN IN. BOTH HID BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED SEVERAL TIMES. I'VE HAD HEADLIGHTS GO OUT AT NIGHT. HAD TO PARK CAR AND CALL SOMEONE TO COME PICK ME UP. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED FROM THERE HEADLIGHTS GOING COMPLETELY OUT AT NIGHT AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT.
