ELECTRICAL SYSTEM - IGNITION - SWITCH

 I am the owner of a 2001 buick regal (aboud package). today, my husband placed his key in the ignition, we drove somewhere and the key would not disengage. i took the car to my buick dealer, who is charging me 240.00 to fix the ignition cylinder due to a problem with the tumblers. i have no control over this part and would like to know why it is not under warranty for the life of the car. i have been a loyal buick customer, but will reconsider when i purchase my next car.*ak thanks! nancy manaska (disappointed buick owner)

 I would like to complain about the trasmission on my 2001 buick regal w/ 69500 miles on it. on 12/25/2004 after accelarating on an on ramp to the freeway, my transmission gave a cracking sound. after that incident, i have had trouble with the transmission not shifting correctly when i start accelarating from a standing position. it will hesitate when gas pedal is pushed. not a good sign for a car that should still be in decent shape having only this amount of miles.*ak

 The regulators on the windows motors broke, allowing the windows to drop freely. there was no sign on all but one windows (which made a grinding noise before failing). one window fell while we where at a mall, making it easier for a potential thief to take the car. the windows are currently c clamped in the closed position. they've not been fixed because of a $250 purchase price for new components per window. *tr
