SERVICE BRAKES, AIR:DISC:CALIPER
THE REAR BREAK CALIPERS "FREEZE-UP" LEAVING THE FRONT BRAKES THE ONLY ONES THAT WORK. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH EVERY DEALERS MECHANIC. I'M GETTING SICK OF PAYING FOR A PART THAT FAILS TO OFFEN

#703323February 15, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
AFTER HAVING REPORTED A STEADY BURNING "ENGINE CHECK LIGHT" TO THE DEALER, APPROXIMATELY TWO WEEKS PRIOR TO ENGINE PROBLEM AND UPON BEING ADVISED TO BE SURE TO TIGHTEN GAS CAP TO CREATE THE PROPER VACUUM, THE LIGHT WENT OUT AND THE CAR RAN LIKE A TOP. UPON STOPPING AT THE STORE AND HEARING A LITTLE CHUG, THE ENGINE THEN RATTLED, ETC. AND HAD NO POWER ON START-UP AND WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE DEALER FOUND A BROKEN VALVE SPRING IN THE ENGINE. MUCH TO OUR CONSTERNATION WHEN WE THOUGHT WE HAD PURCHASED A 100,000 MILE VIRTUALLY MAINTENANCE FREE ENGINE, THERE SEEMS TO BE NO EXPLANATION FOR THIS OCCURRENCE AND WE WONDER IF: (1) OTHERS HAVE COMPLAINED OF SUCH A PROBLEM, (2) THIS IS A DEFECT IN THE ORIGINAL EQUIPMENT, AND (3) THIS MIGHT BE A DEALER DEFECT TO BE CORRECTED BY THE DEALER. *AK

#702914February 3, 1999
ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE:GASOLINE
EXCESSIVE OIL CONSUMPTION, NEEDS TO ADD A QUART OF OIL AFER 2000 MILES. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE. THIS IS AN ADDED EXPENSE AND WILL NOT GET BETTER. WE ALSO HAVE A 1998 GMC JIMMY TWO OIL CHANGES NEVER HAD TO ADD OIL. THE BUICK DEALER CLAIMS THAT THIS NORMAL, I DISAGREE, THIS IS THE 90'S POLLUTION IS A CONSIDERATION PLUS THE ADDITIONAL OPERATIONAL COST. I ALSO HAVE A LONG RENTAL RECORD WITH NATIONAL ,AND ALWAYS RENT BUICK REGALS, NOT FOR DAYS, BUT WEEKS AND DRIVE 2000-3000 MILES PER RENTAL. COULD YOU RESPOND. THANKS. *AK
