ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS VEHICLE HAS HID HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THAT HAVE CONSTANT ISSUES WITH CONDENSATION/WATER ENTERING THE HOUSING AND CAUSING THE BALLAST AND BULB TO FAIL. THIS IS DUE TO A FAULTY SEAL BETWEEN THE OUTER AND INNER SHELL ASSEMBLY. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY ISSUE, AS THE VEHICLE MAY LOOSE ALL HEADLIGHTS AND CAUSE THE DRIVER TO CRASH. THE ASSEMBLIES ARE VERY COSTLY TO REPLACE AND THE ISSUE IS VERY VERY COMMON ON ALL 2011 THOUGH 2017 REGAL AND GS MODELS WITH HID. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE FIXED BY THE MANUFACTURER. NEW ASSEMBLIES WILL RESULT IN THE SAME SAFETY ISSUE IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THIS COULD BE A DESIGN FLAW OR A MANUFACTURING FLAW... REGARDLESS, IT IS VERY DANGEROUS!

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES KEPT FILLING UP WITH WATER, WHICH CAUSED THE BULBS TO SHORT OUT. STOOPS BUICK GMC (1251 QUAKER BLVD, PLAINFIELD, IN 46168, (317) 839-7771) REPLACED THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES THREE TIMES. THE MOST RECENT REPLACEMENT WAS LAST WEEK. THE DEALER HAD NOT REVEALED HOW THE WATER WAS ENTERING INTO THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000.

SERVICE BRAKES, ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
OFF AND ON OVER THE PAST 6 MONTHS, THERE WAS A LOSS OF BRAKES DIRECTLY AFTER STARTUP. AFTER 30 SECONDS OR SO, THE BRAKES WOULD FUNCTION NORMALLY. THIS CAR IS NORMALLY GARAGE KEPT. WALKING TO THE CAR AT NIGHT TO LEAVE, I NOTICED OIL ON THE GARAGE FLOOR COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD, I NOTICED OIL IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. AFTER REMOVING THE PLASTIC ENGINE COVER, I SAW THAT THE OIL WAS COMING FROM WHAT I LEARNED IS THE VACCUM PUMP. THERE WAS A VISIBLE BREAK IN THE PUMP HOUSING. I WENT TO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO INQUIRE ABOUT GETTING THIS SERVICED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY STARTED THAT THIS PART IS ONLY COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY AND NOT POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, EVEN THOUGH THE VACUUM PUMP IS DIRECTLY MOUNTED TO AND CONNECTED TO THE INTAKE CAMSHAFT. MY BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY HAD EXPIRED 3 1/2 MONTHS OR 219 MILES PRIOR, YET THE CAR IS STILL UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNWILLING TO HELP AND QUOTED ME $104 FOR A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP. I WAS ABLE TO ORDER A NEW AC DELCO VACUUM PUMP FROM ROCK AUTO FOR $43. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEW PUMP, A MECHANIC FRIEND WAS HELPING ME TO REPLACE THE PUMP. WHEN THE OLD ONE WAS REMOVED, IT WAS SHOWN TO HAVE DISINTEGRATED. THE INSIDE OF THE PART WAS IN MANY PIECES. THE PART THAT ENGAGES THE CAMSHAFT WAS ALSO BROKE INTO PIECES AND AT THIS POINT I BELIEVE THAT SEVERAL OF THOSE ARE NOW INSIDE THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT I AM GOING TO TAKE THE OLD PART TO THE DEALERSHIP, ALONG WITH PHOTOS OF THE ENGINE AND DEMAND THAT THIS IS NOW FIXED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, AS THE POWERTRAIN IS DIRECTLY AFFECTED. HAD THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING, THE LOSS OF BRAKES COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC.

STEERING
NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR UNTIL I HAD IT SERVICED AT MCCURRY-DECK DEALERSHIP WITH A NOISE IN THE STEERING. THEY WORKED ON THE STEERING GEARS, RACK&PINION AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING IN THE STEERING OF THE CAR. ALL COVERED UNDER A SERVICE CONTRACT. THEY PUT AFTERMARKET PARTS ON MY CAR THAT THEY TOLD THE ADVISER AT THE SERVICE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS WARRANTY ON PARTS AND LABOR. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, IT NEVER WAS FIXED. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY LOOKED AND ADVISED THAT THE PARTS THEY PUT IN DON'T HAVE WARRANTY ON LABOR AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY LABOR. THEY NEVER ADVISED MYSELF OR THE PERSON WHO AUTHORIZED THE REPAIR THAT THE PART THEY USED DIDN'T HAVE WARRANTY. THEY TOLD THE ADVISER IT HAS A 24 MONTH PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY, WHICH WAS A LIE. NOW I HAVE A CAR THAT I JUST SPENT 2072. TO FIX, BROKEN BECAUSE THEY DID NOT HONOR WHAT THEY TOLD THE SERVICE CONTRACT PEOPLE THE PART HAD AND I CAN NOT PAY THE LABOR TO HAVE IT FIXED. THE DEALERSHIP YESTERDAY ADVISED THAT THEY ARE GOING TO FIX MY CAR. THEY ARE SAYING THEY TOLD THE ADVISER AT THE SERVICE CONTRACT REPRESENTATIVE THAT THERE WAS NO WARRANTY ON THE PART, AND THE ADVISER AT THE SERVICE CONTRACT OFFICE ADVISED THAT THEY WOULD NEVER WOULD HAVE AUTHORIZED FOR THAT PART TO BE USED WITH NO WARRANTY. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR 3 MONTHS AND I STILL HAVE A CAR THAT HAS A DEFECTIVE PART.

AIR BAGS
VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION: 'DRIVING THROUGH AN EMPTY PARKING LOT. 'FOLLOWED ROAD AROUND THE BUILDING. 'BLINDED BY SUNLIGHT. 'HIT STATIONARY POLE HEAD ' ON. WEATHER CONDITIONS : HEAVY RAIN : PRIOR TO 2:00PM LIGHT RAIN AND SUNSHINE BETWEEN : 2:45PM AND 3:04PM FAULT OR PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: KNEE / LOWER EXTREMITY AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. HIGH RISK OF LOWER EXTREMITY INJURY FOR BOTH IN-POSITION AND OUT-OF-POSITION SMALL FEMALE DRIVERS. MY LEFT FOOT WAS FORCED UPWARD DUE TO THE FORCE OF CRASH. THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE, IT SNAPPED MY LEFT FOOT DOWNWARD. THE RESULT IS A LEFT ANKLE DISLOCATED AND SEVERE LEFT TIBIA / FIB FRACTURE. BASICALLY, I BROKE EVERY BONE IN MY LEFT FOOT APART FROM MY HEEL AND TOES. SURGERY, MONDAY, NOVEMBER 5, 2018: OPEN REDUCTION / INTERNAL FIXATION (ORIF) WITH LEFT BIMALLEOLAR ANKLE FRACTURE / DISLOCATION WITH CLOSE MANAGEMENT TALUS FRACTURE / SUBTALAR SURGERY. I NOW HAVE A PLATE AND SIX (6) SCREWS INSIDE THE BONE TO HOLD THEM IN THE CORRECT PLACE SO THE BONES DO NOT HEAL ABNORMALLY. THE ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON INFORMED ME, DUE TO THIS TYPE OF INJURY, ARTHRITIS WILL SET IN MY ANKLE. I MAY WANT TO CONSIDER ANKLE FUSION SURGERY IN THE FUTURE. THE FUSION SURGERY WOULD HELP REDUCE THE CHRONIC PAIN. FUSION SURGERY WOULD RESULT THE INABILITY TO USE MY ANKLE, I.E., TO FLEX, POINT, BEND ANKLE, AND ROTATE THE ANKLE AT ALL. THE FUSION SURGERY IS PERMANENT. COMPONENT PART OR SYSTEM THAT MAY BE THE CAUSE OF THE SAFETY RISK: DRIVER LOWER EXTREMITY RESPONSE AND INJURY WITH KNEE AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND EVIDENCE RELATED TO YOUR COMPLAINT: WILL BE SCANNED AND SENT LATER.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
REVERSING CAMERA CAMERA IS INSTALLED AND EQUIPPED WITH GUIDE LINES SHOWING DIRECTION OF TRAVEL AND WHEEL POSITION. THESE GUIDELINES INTERMITENTLY DISAPPEAR FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IF THE CAR IS PUT INTO NEUTRAL AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE LINES REAPPEAR. SINCE THE LINES ARE A FEATURE OF THE VEHICLE AND ARE NOT WORKING RELIABLY I FEEL THIS IS A DEFECT, IT IS A DEFINITE DISTRACTION FROM THE INFORMATION THAT THE CAMERA IS PROFFERING. GM ACKNOWLEDGED THE PROBLEM INITIALLY AND REPLACED A MODULE 4 TIMES ON THIS VEHICLE IN AN ATTEMPT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM WITHOUT SUCCESS NOW THEY HAVE TAKEN THE POSITION THAT THE CAMERA IS WORKING AS DESIGNED... CLEARLY SAFETY EQUIPMENT SHOULD WORK RELIABLY 100% OF THE TIME WITHOUT DISTRACTIONS. IN DISCUSSION WITH OTHER GM OWNERS AND RESEARCH ONLINE THIS PROBLEM IS PREVALENT ON OTHER GM MODELS ACROSS THE PRODUCT LINE. IT APPEARS TO BE BE LINKED THE NUMBER OF SAFETY FEATURES INSTALLED ON THE CAR. THE MORE SAFETY FEATURES THE MORE LIKELY OF FAILURES. THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON A DAILY BASIS AND CAN BE RECREATED AT WILL. IT WILL HAPPEN ANY TIME THE CAR IS TRAVELING IN REVERSE

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TAMARA RECALL I NOTICED THAT THERE WAS WATER IN THE FRONT LEFT HEADLIGHT AND AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE BULB BURNT OUT. WHEN I TOOK THE LIGHT OUT THE WATER RAN DOWN INTO THE BALLAST THIS THE SECOND HEADLIGHT THAT I HAVE BROUGHT AND THE SAME PROBLEMS EXIST. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY DRIVING ON A BACK DARK ROAD I DID RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND I NOTICED EVERYBODY WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. GM HAD DISCONTINUED THE HEADLIGHT BECAUSE THEY WAS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM. I THINK THEY SHOULD REPLACE THESE HEADLIGHTS AS IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN

ENGINE
AT ROUTINE OIL CHANGE APPOINTMENT (71000 MILES) PLUS MY CONCERN TO CHECK OUT A NOISE DURING COLD STARTUPS, BUICK DEALERSHIP TECH NOTED NO OIL ON DIPSTICK. THEY RECOMMENDED OIL CONSUMPTION TEST, DISCUSSED POSSIBLE NEED TO REPLACE PISTONS @ $3200 AND TOLD ME TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES TO REASSESS. ON LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT (NO WARNINGS/LIGHTS/ DRIVING PERFORMANCE ISSUES PRIOR TO LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP THAT DAY), I IMMEDIATELY TURNED AROUND AND THEY RE-RAN DIAGNOSTIC SCREEN, REPORTED TO ME THAT IT REPORTED NOTHING DIFFERENT THAN THE ONE RUN EARLIER THAT DAY, TOLD ME AGAIN TO RETURN IN 1000 MILES. APPROX 100 MILES LATER, MY ENGINE SUFFERED CATASTROPHIC DAMAGE, LEAVING ME STRANDED AT A STOPLIGHT INTERSECTION. I FEEL LUCKY THAT THIS HAPPENED IN A SAFE TOWN IN BROAD DAYLIGHT, AND WHILE I WAS AT A STOPLIGHT. THEY AGAIN FOUND NO OIL ON DIPSTICK, AND MAJOR ENGINE DAMAGE ,MY DEALER GAVE ME OPTIONS FOR REPLACING THE ENGINE WITH A NEW ($6300, 3 YEAR WARRANTY), OR REBUILT ($5000, NO WARRANTY) ENGINE. I HAVE DONE OIL CHANGES ALWAYS AS RECOMMENDED BY ONBOARD MONITORING SYSTEM. SEEMS THAT MAYBE THERE SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL OR CONSUMER ALERT ISSUED ON THIS LONGSTANDING ISSUE FOR THESE GM CARS, NOT JUST A CLANDESTINE BULLETIN THAT ONLY NOTIFIED DEALERS OF THIS PROBLEM FOR VEHICLES WITH LONG OIL CHANGE INTERVAL RECOMMENDATIONS. VERY DISAPPOINTED 55 YEAR OLD LADY.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), POWER TRAIN
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN TEXAS, AND WAS IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING LANES TO THE LEFT AND ACCELERATING WHEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER AND WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. MY TRANSMISSION LIGHT IMMEDIATELY CAME ON. THE PSL WAS 70 AND THANKFULLY I WAS ABLE TO MOVE BACK INTO THE RIGHT LANE AND NAVIGATE TO THE SHOULDER WITHOUT GETTING HIT. I EVENTUALLY COASTED OFF THE HWY AND HAD AAA TOW MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED MY TRANSMISSION NEEDING REBUILDING. THIS OCCURRED AROUND 30K MILES. PERIODICALLY AFTER THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE LIKE I HAD A MISFIRE AND I'D FEEL A SHUDDER OR SOMETIMES IT FELT MY TIRES WERE SPINNING FASTER THAN MY TRANSMISSION WAS GOING. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE (NO LIGHTS WERE ON). I EXPLAINED THIS TO THE DEALERSHIP AND MY CAR WAS THROWING A CODE TURNS OUT THE TORQUE CONVERTER NEEDING REPLACING. THIS WAS UNDER 50K MILES. I AM CURRENTLY AT 52K MILES AND WHEN I GO UP A HIGH I FEEL THE SAME THING AND HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP THIS. THEY WON'T GIVE ME A LOANER CAR AND I CAN'T BE WITHOUT MY CAR SO I HAVE NOT CURRENTLY BROUGHT IT BACK IN. THERE ARE NO LIGHTS ON BUT IT FEELS LIKE THE SAME ISSUE IS STARTING BACK WHEN THE TORQUE CONVERTER WENT OUT. I HAVE ALWAYS HAD MY CAR SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP SO I HAVE ALL THE RECORDS.
