2000 Buick Regal Brakes Problems

“At 83000 miles my ABS system failed leaving my car without ABS and traction control I think that at this low miliage this should not be a factor in this car the part to make everything work right again is $1269.00 without labor. I feel other Buick owners are having the same problem and this is a safety issue and should be looked at more closely.”

“I have a 2000 Buick Regal. In june 2005 three warning lights started showing up on my dash check engine , anti lock brakes and traction control system off . The light stayed on for 1 week and then went off. Thirty days later, the light came back on and stayed on for 1 week and then went off. I took the car to the williams family auto mall dealership (where I originally purchased the car and have had my car serviced) to diagnose the problem. They told me the anti lock brake system needs to be replaced and it will cost me $3,200 to fix. The car has 80,000 miles on it. …”

“While the vehicle was being serviced, the dealer discovered the tie rod was broken. (this was the third incident by a GM auto with low mileage) the ABS sensor and bearing was replaced, the 2 wheel alignment, set the caster, camber 120 cr 519, and toe in to factory specifics.”

“While driving 20 MPH the steering failed. As a result, the vehicle crashed into a snow bank. The consumer experienced two crashes due to the brakes and the steering locking. The consumer had taken the vehicle to the dealer on three occasions for the steering problem but the locking continued. The dash lights would come on (gas gauge and oil light), the vehicle pulled to the right and the trunk would fly open while the vehicle was in motion.”

“When the vehicle was parked on a hill, the emergency pedal pushed to the floor, and vehicle rolled backwards. Dealer had adjusted the emergency brake twice, however the problem recurred.”
