2002 BUICK REGAL - PURCHASED NEW 11/02. POWER STEERING GEAR RACK ASSEMBLY FAILED 1/27/04 (19,030 MILES) - GM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. 3/10/04 (19,943 MILES). NEW PART FAILED - GM REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. 1/6/05 (34,388 MILES)REPORTED SAME "SYMPTOMS" TO GM DEALER - GM RESEALED POWER STEERING PUMP UNDER WARRANTY. 10/30/06 (57,650 MILES) REPORTED SAME "SYMPTOMS" - POWER STEERING PUMP SEAL REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. 12/16/06 (58,892 MILES) REPORTED SAME "SYMPTOMS" - GM SAYS NEW STEERING RACK AGAIN NEEDED - THIS IS FOURTH RACK FOR THIS SAME CAR, INCLUDING ORIGINAL ONE!!!!! I ALSO THINK THE WORK 1/6/05 AND 10/30/06 REGARDING POWER STEERING PUMP MAY HAVE JUST MASKED THE UNDERLYING RACK PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY, GM HAS A PART FAILURE ON THIS POWER STEERING RACK. THIS CERTAINLY SEEMS LIKE IT COULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT GM DOES NOT CARE. I WAS REFERRED TO GM/BUICK ASSISTANCE 12/13/06. ASSISTANCE REFUSES TO REPAIR THIS DEFECT. THEY HAVE OFFERED ME A $200 "MAINTENANCE LETTER", BUT AS OF MY CONVERSATION WITH ASSISTANCE TODAY, THIS LETTER IS AT LEAST 4-6 WEEKS AWAY FROM BEING RECEIVED BY ME. *NM

WHILE DRIVING ON A SLIGHTLY BUMPY, SNOW COVERED ROAD IN TOWN, I HEARD A "THUNKING SOUND" WHENEVER I HIT A ROUGH PATCH OF PAVEMENT. AS I LISTENED CLOSER IT ALSO HAPPENED ON CLEAR PAVEMENT. IT SEEMED TO BE COMING FROM THE LEFT FRONT SECTION OF THE CAR. BRAKES AND STEERING WERE FINE. NO RED LIGHTS WERE FLASHING. THE MECHANIC SAID IT WAS A BROKEN SWAY BAR, WHICH BROKE AT THE END WHERE THE METAL WAS CRIMPED. SORRY TO SAY IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BY ANOTHER SWAY BAR WITH EXACTLY THE SAME CONSTRUCTION, WHICH WAS PART OF THE PROBLEM - THE NEW ONE WAS ALSO CRIMPED AND EVENTUALLY WOULD PROBABLY BREAK IN THE SAME PLACE. SOUND TO ME LIKE A FLAW IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE SWAY BAR. ISN'T THERE A BETTER WAY TO MAKE THESE SWAY BARS? *TR

A LOUD RATTLING NOISE WAS HEARD COMING FROM DRIVER'S SIDE WHEEL. WHEN THE BRAKES APPLIED THE NOISE ESCALATED. CONSUMER TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION, AND MECHANIC DETERMINED THAT THE WHEEL BEARING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. *AK

THIS HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER/BUERKLE BUICK 3350 HIGHWAY 61, ST. PAUL, MN. 55110. SERVICE TEC REFUSED TO DOCUMENT THIS PROBLEM. THERE IS AN INTERMITTENT FAILURE OF THE DISPLAY CIRCUIT WHICH INDICATES THE GEAR THE CAR IS IN. ON START-UP, THERE IS NO DISPLAY OF SHIFT POSITION OR RADIO DISPLAY. ABOUT 30-40 SECONDS LATER, THERE IS AN AUDIBLE "TINK" DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE DRIVER IN THE DASH. OBVIOUSLY, THERE IS A DEFECTIVE RELAY IN THE CIRCUIT, AND I AM NOT GOING TO GET "CAUGHT" ON THIS ONE AFTER THE WARRENTY PERIOD IS UP. THIS REPORT ESTABLISHES AN OFFICAL RECORD OF THE PROBLEM TO ENSURE FUTURE REPAIR. IT IS INHERENTLY DANGEROUS TO HAVE NO IDEA OF WHAT GEAR ONE IS IN , OTHER THAN GUESSING! MR

TL*- THE CONTACT STATED HAD NUMEROUS FLAT TIRES ON THE 2002 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THE FLAT TIRES WERE DUE TO THE PEALING OF THE CHROME RIMS ON THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP RESEALED THE RIMS ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. HOWEVER, THEY HAVE NEVER BEEN REPLACED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED WHEN THE VEHICLE TIRES WERE LOW AND BECAME FLAT. THERE WEREN'T ANY PARTICULAR ROAD OR WEATHER CONDITIONS WHEN TIRES WENT FLAT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE BOTH 32100.*AK CONSUMER STATES DEALER INFORMED HER RIMS NEED RELINING THAT'S WHY THE TIRES KEEP GOING FLAT, DEALER WILL NOT PAY TO HAVE THE RIMS REPLACED AND CONSUMER FEELS IT THE DEALERS RESPONSIBILITY. *4/17TR

SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WHEN ANALYZED BY THE DEALER, A TRANSMISSION AND A MISFIRE CODE CAME UP. THE TRANSMISSION WAS FLUSHED AND I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS EXCESSIVE COPPER IN THE FLUID INDICATING WEAR AND PREMATURE FAILURE. A TRANSMISSION SHOULD NOT FAIL AT 65,500 MILES UNDER EVERYDAY DRIVING CONDITIONS. REPAIRS ON THE TRANSMISSION HAVE NOT TAKEN PLACE. IN MY OPINION THE PRODUCT WAS DEFECTIVE AND GM SHOULD REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION AT A SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCED COST. I WILL PURSUE A REMEDY FROM GM. THE MISFIRE WAS TRACED TO A FAULTY FUEL INJECTOR WHICH WAS REPLACED. *JB
