1997 Buick Regal LS from North America - Comments

ABS sensor at 66000 miles.

Water pump at 64000 miles.

Still haven't had to replace brakes yet!

Comfortable and quiet for a front wheel driver. No wheel hop when floored off the line. Not an enthusiast's car, but good for the wife.

I too have had an ABS brake sensor problem and had it repaired at 44,000 miles. When I make a quick turn while applying the brakes I will hear a loud rattling noise associated with the ABS system.

I replaced my brake pads in front at about 60,000 miles.

While living in Dallas, TX I had to replace my battery two times within a four year period possibly do to the extreme heat. I replaced a third time about 70,000 with a heavy duty battery.

At 72,000 miles I had to replace the A/C power control panel.

The valve covers were replaced at 69,000 miles and they still seem to be leaking.

I am getting exhaust fumes inside the passenger compartment upon semi-hard to hard braking.

The alternator was replaced at about 60,000 miles.

I had to replace the performance tires at about 28,000 miles with Goodyear HP's which have lasted 43,000 mile so far.

The drive belt tensioner was replaced at 64,000 miles. Mr. Goodwrench really dropped the ball here.

The driver's side window motor was replaced at 33,000 miles.

The generator assembly was replaced at 28,000 miles.

The exhaust hanger was replaced at 69000 miles.

I currently have 75,500 miles on the vehicle and I've been driving the car like old grandma does.

I do own a Regal LS 1997, 110,000 Kilometer, and I had to replace: front and rear disk brake and linings, resistor for the cooling fan, alternator, water pump. Did all the replacement myself, so did not cost me much. Very satisfy with the car, still run like new.
