2012 BUICK REGAL Complaints

MY BRAKE PEDAL ALWAYS GET STUCK DEPRESSED DOWN IN HOT HUMID WEATHER. YOU LITERALLY HAVE TO DRIVE WITH TWO FEET TO LIFT PEDAL WHEN TIME TO ACCELERATE. MY DRIVER SEAT ALSO GOES IN AND OUT WHEN TRYING TO ADJUST THE SEAT. IT WILL NOT MOVE UNLESS I PLAY WITH THE POWER ADJUSTER A FEW TIMES THEN IT WILL MANEUVER. MY RADIO ALSO TURNS OFF AND ON BY ITSELF WITH BLUETOOTH IS CONNECTED OR SOMETIMES THE RADIO WOULDN'T TURN ON WITH CAR RUNNING OR TURN OFF WHILE CAR IS OFF.

RIGHT HID HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY CONTAINS MOISTURE AND PREMATURELY WEARS OUT BALLAST. EVEN AFTER REPLACING BALLAST AND REMOVING MOISTURE IT HAS SLOWLY STARTED TO REAPPEAR ON THE INSIDE OF THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT NOTICED CONDENSATION IN THE DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT AND THAT THE FUSE WAS BLOWN. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE LOCAL DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 34,000.

I GOT A 2012 BUICK REGAL I BROUGHT IT JULY 2018 MY CAR WAS DIED OUT OF NOWHERE ABOUT 5 MONTHS PRIOR LIST AND THEN AFTER I CHANGED MY OIL MY CAR DIDN'T GO ANYMORE IT SOUNDED LIKE A CHAIN THE FIRST NIGHT AFTER THEY CHANGE THE OIL AND THEN THE NEXT DAY I DROVE IT FOR 2 HOURS I DON'T KNOW IF THE TIMING IS OFF OR WHAT

VEHICLE WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH ON A CITY STREET WHEN A "POP" NOISE WAS HEARD, IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY THE CAR SHUTTING DOWN. THERE WAS NO WARNING OR SYSTEM ERROR LIGHTS ON AND NONE TURNED ON. THERE WAS NO POWER OR BRAKES AVAILABLE IN THE VEHICLE. UPON ATTEMPTING TO COAST VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD TO A SAFE AREA, 2 PEOPLE DRIVING BY YELLED TO GET OUT, AS THERE WERE FLAMES COMING OUT OF THE UNDERCARRIAGE. THE ENTIRE FRONT OF THE CAR INCLUDING THE ENGINE ENGULFED IN FLAMES. AREA FIREFIGHTERS WERE CALLED TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE. TOTAL LOSS OF VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH ON STAR SERVICES AND A MONTHLY REPORT IS RECEIVED SHOWING ANY ISSUES OR CONCERNS WITH THE VEHICLE. UPON RECEIVING THE REPORT ON JULY 27, 2019 THERE WERE NO ISSUES REPORTED EXPECT A LOW TIRE PRESSURE.

CONDENSATION ISSUE IN DRIVERS SIDE HEADLIGHT.THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT AS THOUSANDS HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND NOTHING IS BEING DONE. THE ENTIRE HID HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY COST $1,320.95 AT THE DEALER WITHOUT TAXES. THIS IS APPALLING TO ME THAT I SHOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS PROBLEM WHEN CLEARLY THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. MY CAR DID NOT EVEN HAVE 45,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE HEADLIGHT WENT OUT.

POWER SEAT BUTTONS WORK OFF AND ON. MY DRIVERS SEAT WAS RECLINED AND NOW WONT GO BACK UP, I CHECKED MY VIN AND NO RECALLS HAVE BEEN ISSUED ON IT. DANGEROUS TO DRIVE I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON 2012 BUICK REGAL POWER SEATS BUT NOT ON MY VIN.I HAVE AN APPT WITH THE BUICK DEALER TO FIX. WHICH WONT BE CHEAP.

CODES P0016 P0017 DTC P0299 UNDER TURBO BOOST P0010 - FLUID LEAK FROM TRANSMISSION - STABILITRAK LIGHT ON AND OFF (2017, 2018, 2019)- { I PAID TO HAVE THE ISSUE FIXED AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT HAPPENS AGAIN} CAR WILL NOT PICK UP SPEED - CRANK / CAM POSITION NOT PLAUSIBLE - TIMING CHAIN STRETCHED /STUCK.( POPPING SOUND COMING FROM UNDER MY SEAT IN 2017)THESE ARE ALL ISSUES THAT HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING. I AM GETTING ON THE ON RAMP FOR THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR WILL NOT GO PASS 35 MPH FOR OVER 15 SECONDS, EVEN IF I FLOOR IT. THERE IS ON COMING TRAFFIC DOING 60 TO 70 MPH AND THAT IS A LIFE OR DEATH SITUATION. I HAVE NO WAY OF MOVING TO AVOID BEING HIT. MY CAR WILL STALL WHEN I TRY TO DRIVE AFTER STOPPING AT A STOP LIGHT.

SINCE I PURCHASED AND DROVE OFF FROM THE DEALERSHIP, WITHIN THE FIRST FEW DAYS THE CAR SHUT DOWN ON ME WHEN I WAS IN A DRIVE THRU, AND IT HAPPENED TIMES AGAIN WHILE PULLING OUT A PARKING SPACE AND DROVE A FEW FEET AWAY THE CAR WOULD SHUT OFF AND BEGAN SMELLING OF GAS AS WELL OVERTIME I DROVE IT. THE DEALERSHIP WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL BUT FINALLY KEPT MY CAR A FEW DAYS AND SAID IT WAS ONLY THE HOSES WHICH WERE LOOSE. NOW 4/24 MY CAR AGAIN IS MAKING WEIRD NOISES SINCE LAST WEEK AND ACTUALLY WILL NOT START THIS EVENING AFTER BEING OUT AND PARKING IN A LOT.

BOTH DRIVER AND PASSENGER HEADLIGHTS CONSTANTLY SHOW CONDENSATION/WATER IN THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AFTER IT RAINS. AT ONE POINT, THE CONDENSATION CAUSED THE PREMATURE FAILURE OF THE HID BALLAST, AN LOSS OF HEADLIGHT. IN VIEWING A BUICK REGAL FORUM, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL CAR AND GM SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THE PROBLEM. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING. RAIN CAUSES THE FAULTY HEADLIGHT SEALS TO SHOW THE PROBLEM.HAPPENS ON A REGULAR BASIS WHEN IT RAINS. IMAGES TO LARGE TO SEND.
