NHTSA Complaint #10066566 — 1995 BUICK REGAL

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). I THEN CONTACTED ANOTHER DEALER IN ANOTHER TOWN A COUPLE YEARS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT IF I HAD REPORTED IT SOONER THAT BUICK WOULD HAVE PAINTED IT FOR ME AT NO CHARGE. I HAD MISSED THE CUT-OFF AT THAT TIME BY A COUPLE MONTHS AND A THOUSAND MILES. THIS CAR NOW HAS 114,000 MILES ON IT AND STILL RUNS OK. WE USE IT AS AN EXTRA VEHICLE FOR WINTER DRIVING BUT I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT EITHER. FINALLY, THE ROTORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWO TIMES AND NEEDS IT AGAIN. I CAN'T SEEM TO GET THEM REPLACED OR TURNED EXCEPT WITH GMC PARTS WHICH IS NOT WORTH IT.
