Driver side HID headlight filling with condensation on lens and water collecting inside the headlight capsule where the wiring for the bulbs and ballast run through. Daytime running light now out and potential loss of headlight use is foreseen.

My vehicle has an electrical problem due to the recall. I took it into the Buick dealer. They could not find an electrical problem. But there is an electrical problem. And has been since I bought it at Jim Riles in Washington Township Michigan.

Driver side headlight assembly condensation. Heavy condensation is continuous and never clears up. No visible cracks or broken seals. Upon investigation, this seems to be an issue with Buick. There are numerous complaints among owners. The condensation diminishes the effectiveness of the headlight and limits the vision while driving.

2014 Buick Regal GS AWD sedan, second owner. Car was purchased as a certified used from Buick dealer in 2018 with 40,xxx miles. Car now has 137,xxx miles, no longer under extended warranty. Have had all regular maintenance done and have records. Aside from normal wear and tear, no prior issues with car. Car engine suddenly started to run rough, Check Engine light came on while driving 65 mph, sudden loss of engine power and car died on the highway causing congestion and vehicles to swerve on highway, loss of steering control, pulled over. Car was able to be restarted but running rough, engine light on, severe reduction in power. Talked with nearest dealer, they said to not drive car. Had local GM mechanic do inspection, computer codes indicated loss of compression on cylinder 3, misfire. Compression check and bore inspection indicated loss of compression on cylinder 3, valve failure/damage, oil in the turbo, requiring complete rebuild or replacement engine and turbo.

Condensation inside both headlights. We didn't notice the problem until we moved from the warm west coast weathe to the midwest where the climate is colder.

After buying car from Car dealer named Carizona in Mesa Arizona. 1 week later car needs new engine. Initially message appeared stating Engine Performance reduced after leaving the car dealer. How is it that a car dealer purchases a car not ensuring safety of its vehicles. Was there even a safety check. What if I or someone else got hurt after driving that vehicle. There are multiple safety reports but they are still selling cars.

AFTER COLD START THE BRAKE SYSTEM IS WEAK TO NON EXISTENT. WE HAVE A SLOPE OF APPROXIMATELY 25-30 DEGREES AND THIS CAUSED US TO GO INTO OUR NEIGHBORS YARD WHEN THE BRAKES ONLY SLOWED THE VEHICLE AND COULD NOT BRING IT TO A COMPLETE STOP. WE ARE CURRENTLY WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED, HOWEVER DIAGNOSIS IS PROBLEMATIC DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT ONLY OCCURS ON A COLD START AND THEN BECOMES A NON ISSUE. CURRENTLY YATES BUICK IN GOODYEAR AZ HAS BEEN DISMISSIVE AND UNHELPFUL WITH THIS PROBLEM AND BUICK CUSTOMER CARE LINE IS EQUALLY UNHELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE IF I CAN FIND A MECHANIC THAT CAN DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM.

PURCHASED IN JAN 2021 WITH 94K MILES AND AS OF MAR 2021 96K MILES A CATASTROPHIC ENGINE FAILURE OF THE #4 CYLINDER. CRACK IN THE PISTON RING GROOVES AND NOW HAS ZERO COMPRESSION. WHILE DRIVING THE HIGHWAY AT 74 MPH. LOSS OF ENGINE POWER AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND WILL STALL AT IDLE EVEN IN NEUTRAL WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. ENGINE OIL FOUND UNDER THE CAR AS WELL BUT NOT SURE SPECIFIC LOCATION AT THIS TIME. HEAVY BLUE SMOKE FROM EXHAUST AND VERY ROUGH IDLE WITH LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE TURBO ALONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON AS WELL.

MY BUICK PURCHASED NOVEMBER 2019 HAS THE MISFORTUNE OF HAVING THE 2.0 LTG 4CYL TURBO. THROUGH RESEARCH I HAVE LEARNED THAT CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WITH THE PISTONS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ACROSS THE GM PLATFORM WITH SAME ENGINES. THIS IS LIKELY CAUSED BY A MISFIRE OR PREIGNITION IN THE CYLINDER WHICH WHICH FEEDS ON ITSELF AS IT GETS WORSE. ALSO THE PCV SYSTEM DESIGNED FOR A NATURALLY ASPIRATED ENGINE NOT A TURBO ENGINE. THIS SYSTEM FUNCTIONS ONLY WHEN THERE IS NO BOOST FROM THE TURBO. THIS CAUSE GUNK TO BUILD UP EVENTUALLY BACK FLOWING INTO #1. SINCE LIQUID WILL NOT COMPRESS IT CREATES PRESSURE IN THE CYLINDER DAMAGING THE RINGS. I PURCHASED MY CAR USED WITH NO WARRANTY AND EXACTLY 100K. EVEN ON THE TEST DRIVE I FELT A MISFIRE BUT WAS TOLD IT'S NOTHING. MAYBE MY FOOT SLIPPED. FIVE DAYS LATER THE PREIGNITION HAPPENED AGAIN. CHANGE THE PLUGS AND WIRES AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR AWHILE. THREE WEEKS LATER WHEN I COLD START THE ENGINE IN THE MORNING TO WARM UP. IT WAS EXHIBITING THE SAME MIS

THE POWER STEERING HAS STOPPED WORKING. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY ON THE CAR. AFTER I REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE POWER STEERING HAD STOPPED WORKING. THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.

Mileage: 65,000

I WAS BACKING MY CAR INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND THEN I SHUT OFF ENGINE, RADIO STILL PLAYING, THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN LIGHTS STARTED DIMMING AND THE ANTI THEFT WENT INTO ACTION. WHOLE CAR SHUT DOWN, NOT EVEN REMOTES WOULD WORK. GOT THE HOOD OPENED AND DISCOVERED A MELTING WIRE CONNECTED TO THE NEGATIVE SIDE. THANK GOD I WAS HOME WHEN IT HAPPENED. COULD THIS HAVE CAUGHT FIRE INSIDE MY GARAGE? MY CAR IS CURRENTLY AT TURNER TOYOTA IN MONTROSE COLORADO. WAS INQUIRING IF THIS IS A MALFUNCTION WITH WIRING HARNESS. SO FAR ITS COSTING US 800.00 DOLLARS IN REPAIR, WHICH I DONT HAVE MY CAR BACK AS OF TODAY. I WOULD LIKE THIS MATTER CLOSELY LOOKED AT FOR A SAFETY RECALL DUE TO THE MATTER THINGS COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE.
