1997 Buick Regal LS review from North America
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had my Buick Regal serviced in the last 5 yrs 10 times for many different problems. I had my front driver headlamp replaced due to moisture, side lamps replaced due to moister. I had my center console fixed because the trim was popping up. I had my drivers side interior door light fixed twice because it would not stay intact. I had my radio replaced because cassette tape quite working. Same problem is happening again. My drivers side door sticks. I had the trim replaced and it still sticks. I have had my alternator replaced, water pump replaced, ignition wires replaced, and now I have to my head gaskets replaced, tire rods replaced and power-steering fluid gasket. My car is only 5yrs old and has
51000 miles. I think this is ridiculous. Plus I had to pay for a rental car for 2 days! Thanks to GM for a well made car.
