1994 BUICK REGAL Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING MAJOR PAINT PEELING OFF MY 1994 BUICK REGAL. IT IS OCCURING IN SEVERAL PLACES ON THE HOOD AND QUARTER PANEL. IT BLISTERS AND THEN IT JUST FLAKES OFF. THE 1993 GM PRESS RELEASE DESCRIBES MY EXACT PROBLEM, STATING THAT THEY WOULD COVER THE COST OFF REPAINTING A CAR WITHIN THE FIRST SIX YEARS. SO, UNFORTUNATLY I'M PROBABLY OUT OF LUCK, BUT I WAS GOING TO MAKE AN ATTEMPT AT GETTING GM TO COVER SOME OF THE COST. THE CAR HAS JUST UNDER 105,000 MILES AND OTHERWISE IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.

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. *AK 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. THE BRAKES WERE BAD AND THE MUFFLER HAD A BIG HOLE IN IT. ALSO, COOLANT LEAKED FROM THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. *SC *JB

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS AND WITHOUT WARNING THE VEHICLE STALLED CAUSING THE DRIVER TO LOSE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, BUT DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. *AK WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR WHEN TAKING TURNS, THE ENGINE STALLED CAUSING A LOSS OF THE POWER STEERING , BRAKES, AND ENGINE MISSING WITH RPM OF 1500-2000. THE TRANSMISSION WOULD HAVE TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. WHILE ON A TRIP, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON, AND WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO CHECK THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE NEAREST DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A LAGGED FUEL FILTER AND TO DRIVE HOME. ANOTHER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM BUT SUGGESTED THTA IT COULD BE THE TRANSMISSION. ANOTHER SERVICE DEALER COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM EITHER AND REFERRED THE CONSUMER...
