1994 Buick Regal Electrical system Problems

“While driving, my horn intermittently sounds without touching it. While parked on the street on a sunny day, the horn will blare with no one it. It has almost caused accidents on three occasions. 1) while driving the horn sounded and vehicles stopped suddenly in an intersection and had to dodge each other and nearly had a rear end collision. 2) while I was driving, the horn sounded and I thought that it was another car and swerved instinctively, 3) while parked in the street in the sun, the horn went off and caused a kid to fall off of his bike. …”

“Had intake upper intake manifold replaced due to a cooling problem. Wagamon brothers said there was nothing I could have done to prevent it. Voltage gauge reading 18. Replaced alternator/generator. Problem still existed. Checked battery. Battery failed. Replaced battery. Voltage gauge still read 18. Drove car. Car died in middle of the freeway. Smell of burnt wires. Towed car to garage. Fiance was able to start car and noticed gauges still lit when should have been not lit. Figures electrical under dash or in wiring harness.”

“Car wont start, then after a time it will start. It has been in for service on this matter numerous times. They removed my alarm system thinking that was the problem, it didn't work. They say they can't find the problem, but when I took it to them today, it didn't start for them either. It's not safe to drive when you can't count on it starting.”

“Vehicle stalled out and died with out warning. All of electrical components are inoperable when vehicle stalls. Dealer has not been able to duplicate problem. The consumer was concerned about safety if the vehicle possibly stalls on highway, especialy at night.”

“While driving, the consumer smelled an odor coming through the vents. The consumer pulled to the shoulder and noticed smoke coming from underneath the hood. The vehicle was towed to the dealer for inspection, and the mechanic informed the consumer that certain parts were not under warranty. The vehicle had an electrical problem where the vehicle felt as if it were going to die out. The voltage readings were always low. The vehicle had problems getting out of gear. The consumer was told that the initial problem was with the upper intake manifold. …”
