NHTSA complaint #10810429, filed 2015-12, 194,985 miles“I had stopped at store on way home from work. When I came out of store I noticed smoke coming from under the hood of my car. I popped the hood and saw my engine on fire and proceeded to try and put the fire out. I took my jacket off and started hitting the engine and this burned up my jacket and scorched my hand. An employee from the store came out with a fire extinguisher and put out the fire. The fire department was called but fire was out before they got there. It burned up the entire top and sides of my engine. Their was a recall that would have stopped this but I did not receive it.”
NHTSA complaint #10500951, filed 2013-03, 160,000 miles“I purchased a 2000 Buick Regal gse 8/18/00 which has a supercharged engine. The car has been a great car until 12/16/2005. After I had parked the car and gone into the doctor's office, my car caught fire and was destroyed. The car was totaled and the insurance adjuster told me it was the 3rd burned Buick Regal supercharged engine that he'd seen this year alone. After investigation, it appears the gasket in the fuel injection system leaked, fuel dropped onto the manifold system, a fire started and the car was destroyed (along with a good bit of damage to the volvo parked next to mine). …”
NHTSA complaint #10146042, filed 2005-12, 117,000 miles“2000 Regal Buick with low mileage didn't pass nh state inspection because of code p0440 evaporation emission control system. When looking at GM recall there were 248 other 2000 Buick recalls with the same issue reported to general motors.this code has to do with the fuel system, gas lines and storage tank and can be very dangerous and catch the car on fire.I did call GM and filed a claim but they really don't care.also there is a steering/suspension steering linkage free play. When doing research on this there was a recall (76128) and 979 people also reported this issue.”
