TRIED TO HAVE THE DEALER CO OPERATE AND FIX THE DEFECT BUT GOT NOWHERE NEED HELP AS THIS IS A EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE FIX ON A FAULTY PART THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AS IT IS A UNSAFE SITUATION. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON 2003 BUICK CENTURY DOESN'T WORK , I UNDERSTAND THIS IS COMMON ON THIS CAR AND VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I FEEL GM SHOULD BE ACCOUNTABLE. ALSO, THE HEAD GASKET IS BLOWN I WAS TOLD BY A GARAGE THAT IT WAS THE TYPE OF COOLANT THEY USED AND ALSO VERY COMMON ON THESE CARS. THESE ARE CLEARLY DEFECTS IN THEIR PRODUCT AND THEY SHOULD BE RECALLED. I HAVE BOUGHT AMERICAN CARS ALL MY LIFE BUT I,M DONE WITH THEM ,THEY DON'T STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2002 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AT A LOCAL REPAIR FACILITY FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE WHEN HE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE GASKET WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT OIL WAS ENTERING THE RADIATOR AND THE RADIATOR WOULD ALSO NEED FLUSHING TO PREVENT FURTHER PROBLEMS. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED ANY FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,842.

THE DASH PAD IS COMING APART, SEPARATING AND BUCKLING UP SO HIGH THAT IT IS NOW A VISUAL HAZARD WHEN DRIVING. WHEN THE WEATHER IS SOMEWHAT WARM OR HOT, THE BUCKLING IS MUCH WORSE. IT IS NOW SEPARATING FURTHER TOWARDS THE PASSENGER SIDE AND I AM AFRAID THAT THE AIR BAG COULD POSSIBLY DEPLOY WHILE DRIVING. THIS VEHICLE IS EQUIPPED WITH A HEADS UP DISPLAY AND EVEN THAT IS BEING AFFECTED BY THE DASH PAD COMING APART. I PAID LOTS OF MONEY FOR THIS VEHICLE AND EXPECT TO KEEP AND DRIVE IT FOR MANY YEARS. WITH THIS SAFETY DEFECT GETTING MUCH WORSE AS TIME GOES BY, I NOW WONDER HOW MUCH LONGER I WILL BE ABLE TO DRIVE IT. IT IS A COMPLETE SHAME BECAUSE THIS VEHICLE IS LIKE BRAND NEW EXCEPT FOR THIS UNSAFE FACTORY DEFECT. EVERY ONE OF THESE VEHICLES FROM YEARS 2001 THRU 2005 THAT I HAVE NOTICED IN PARKING LOTS, DRIVEWAYS, GARAGES, AND EVEN ON THE HIGHWAYS, HAVE THIS SAME FACTORY SAFETY DEFECT. I HAVE FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS WHO OWN THIS SAME MODEL VEHICLE BUT DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS, AND THEIR DASH PADS ARE EXACTLY THE SAME WAY AS MINE. PLEASE MAKE GM ISSUE A RECALL AND FIX THIS SAFETY DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED!!!

WHEN I SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS MY HEADLIGHTS GO OUT COMPLETELY. THEY ONLY GO BACK ON WHEN I SWITCH BACK TO DIMS. THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU HAVEN'T OWNED UP TO IT AND HAD A RECALL. *TR

DASH PAD IS SEPARATING FROM THE DASH ON PASSENGERS SIDE NEAR AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT STATION. *TR
