Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“While traveling home from work on a very busy street (highway) the car died. Since then I never know when it's going to do it again. Some days it dies 5 or 6 times. I'm a senior reliant on social security income and any expense is unwelcome , however, I have spent nearly $1,000 to no avail. Several times after a repair the car died a block from the repair shop. This usually happens in traffic. …”
NHTSA complaint #10568728, filed 2014-03, 110,000 miles“I own a 1995 Buick Regal and for all the trouble I have had with it, I still like it. First, the air conditioning will quit working when it is real hot outside and we are going up a hill. Where we live that is everywhere. Second, the paint started peeling when the car was only 3 years old. I contacted the dealer where we purchased the vehicle and was told that there was nothing that he could do about it without charging us for a paint job. ($3500). …”
NHTSA complaint #10066566, filed 2004-04“Many times in the last few months, when traveling extremely slowly, eg. Coming to a stop sign, backing out of driveway, etc., I hear and feel a heavy rattle (as though metal has released a linkage) and I can feel something release thru my break peddle. It only takes a few seconds. This happens many times each day and is happening more frequently lately. I've had it checked several times by mechanics and they can't find the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #730082, filed 2000-09“Dealer has been sympathetic towards problem/Buick states the premature wear of rear disc pads and rotors are because I live in an area where there is road salt and sand.I don't think that this is the problem. Buick is advising the dealers that we have to apply the parking brake once a week to adjust the rear calipers, this was done and the problem continues. On 7-23-99 I had the car to the dealer for the third time with this problem. This is the fourth set of disc pads and rotors on this car I have talked to other owners of these cars and they have had the same problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #709357, filed 1999-07“Going down an incline on a curve, at 25 MPH and the engine shuts off and the steering locks up . Brought the car to a stop without power brakes working . Car could not be put into park to restart . Put car ito neutral and started right up. Very very dangerous as there is no control over the steering and brakes are only working a fraction of there potential.”
