1991 Buick Regal Custom review from North America
"I wouldn't recommend this vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Back slide kit needed to be replaced twice.
Front brakes wear out every other year.
Tape player broke one year after we bought the car.
Odometer quit working 5 years after we bought the car.
Transmission is slipping. It needs replaced.
Motor mounts are worn, and need replaced.
Drivers side door always freezes shut in the winter, which causes the rod inside the door to bend, making it impossible to open the door.
Everything is going wrong with it all at once.
General comments?
I really enjoyed this car during the first two years that we owned it. However, since then, one thing after another keeps happening to it. I don't feel comfortable driving it. I don't trust that I am going to get to my destination safely.
