Left Headlamp Assembly and Driver’s Window Regulator were replaced under Warranty and now have reoccurred and both need replacing again. My car just reach 60K miles. This began 6 months ago so I haven’t been able to drive at night or during storms nor crack my window to talk to strangers. I am a Realtor and feel my safety is at risk. This headlight problem was going on in 2011 & 2012 yet Buick continued to use this headlamp assembly, knowing it fills with moisture then blows the bulb & fuse. With all the online Complaints, I am shocked that our government has not forced Buick to do a recall. I could kill someone or hit something with only one headlight!!!! Very concerned when my 4-year-old grandson is in my car too! Both problems are on the driver’s side and both keep reoccurring. The Headlight Assembly is almost $2K to...
The car runs fine right up until it doesn't. You can be driving down the highway and all of a sudden lights start flashing on and off and it dies completely and slams on the breaks all at once! It's dangerous especially in the dark! You have no flashers or breaklights to warn other cars you are even there! Sometimes it won't even start setting in the driveway. You just have to wait a little bit and then the car will start up like nothing ever happened. I've seen recalls on other Buicks for the same thing but mine isn't on the recall list. This car is gonna get someone killed! We are afraid to sell it because we don't want someone else to get hurt! We have taken it to two different mechanics and they couldn't find anything wrong with it except the first mechanic cleared out 23 control...

I HAVE A BUICK POWER ADD ON SYSTEM THAT IS 50 STATE CARB LEGAL CALLED THE STAGE ONE KIT OFFERED BY GM THE KIT CONSISTS OF AN AIR INTAKE AND A SOFTWARE CALIBRATION. AMONG ALL THE ISSUES I HAVE BEEN HAVING WITH THE CAR THEIR FINAL SOLUTION WAS TO INSTALL THE OEM CALIBRATION AND FUEL TABLES BUT LEAVE THE THE STAGE ONE KIT INSTALLED. I BELIEVE THIS MAKES MY CAR NON-50 STATE EMISSIONS COMPLIANT. PART NUMBER FOR STAGE KIT IS 12653664. THE ISNTALLATION MANUAL SPECIFICALLY MENTIONS NOT DRIVING WITHOUT THE CALIBRATION UPDATE FROM THE DEALER. I HAVE NO WAY OF PUTTING IT BACK IN.
THE FRONT SEAT HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE HEAD "CONSTRAINTS." BOTH THE ANGLE OF THE BRACES SUPPORTING THE HEAD RESTRAINTS AND THE THICKNESS OF THE PADDING OF THE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE EXCESSIVE. WHEN THE SEAT IS UPRIGHT, A POSITION OF GOOD POSTURE, THE HEAD RESTRAINT FORCES THE HEAD DOWN TO LOOK AT THE LAP. RAISING THE HEAD RESTRAINT INCREASES THE DOWNWARD ANGLE. MOVING THE SEAT-BACK AWAY FROM VERTICAL MAKES THE HEAD COMFORTABLE BUT THEN THE BACK DOESN'T TOUCH THE SEAT-BACK AND THAT POSITION IS RATHER TIRING. MUCH OF THE TIME, THE SOLUTION IS TO LEAN FORWARD OR TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT AWAY FROM THE HEAD RESTRAINT TO AVOID DISCOMFORT AND BLOCKED VISION. THE 2013 BUICK REGAL HAS TAKEN THE HEAD RESTRAINT CRITERIA TO EXCESS AND IT WOULD BE HELPFUL IF MODIFICATIONS CAN BE CONSIDERED SO THAT FUTURE HEAD RESTRAINTS ARE NO LONGER A HINDRANCE TO DRIVERS.
