There are multiple problems with this vehicle. One of my main complaints is the steering wheel is becoming very warm to the touch. Next, the key gets stuck in the switch and will not come out, causing the battery to run down. Also, the signal lights have gone out and are not repairable and the electrical windows have gone out due to rusting and are not repairable. *Tr

Tl*the contact owns a 2000 buick regal. The failure mileage was 81000 and the current mileage was 86000. The vehicle headlights fail whenever using the highbeams. The contact stated that initially the highbeams turn off and the fog lights turn on, and now the highbeams work very sporadically. Speed is not a factor.

2000 Buick regal design flaw in the fog lamp component.*Mr the consumer believed the required bulb was either too hot ir the distance between the bulb and the bottom of the unit was too close and a hole burned through which allowed water to collect in the fog lamp unit and caused the bulb to burn out. The dealer refused to replace the unit and said it was not a defect. *Jb

The left turn signal failed to work reliably. Eventually, it did not work at all. Car was serviced by two dealers under warrenty. It took four vists to resolve the problem. A control computer was replaced. Apparently this repair caused my airbag warning light to shine. At this time I do not know if my air bags will work in a crash or if they will go off unexpectedly. Car manual states that either scenario may occur. Dealer service technician states that it will not deploy unexpectedly.
