| 1998 buick regal w/ 3.8l engine. had recall issue fixed march 2011. vehicle caught fire after driving up to our local mountains. fire began after vehicle was turned off, as we were getting our children out of the car. the fire began at the spark plug wires, continued up the wire assembly to the fuel lines and burned through fuel lines. immediately had to disconnect battery, since fuel lines were spewing gas at the fire. we were able to put fire out with snow on the brushy hillside we were parked beside. filed claim with gm. they denied it due to car's age, and claimed they have no responsibility after the car is 4 years old. their recall fix did not work. the car still caught on fire anyway with my family inside. | |||

| Recurring a/c, electrical system, and window vibration problems have not been resolved by the manufacturer, despite numerous attempts. was referred to a buick regional rep, who consistently lied about the fact that buick was aware of these problems in numerous (maybe all) 1998 regals. when that didn't deter me and the truth established, he attempted to use physical threats to get me to back down. that didn't deter me either. bbb arbitration process was a farce. bbb admitted that the vehicle was considered a lemon, but their resolution was to let buick have the car for an additional 30 day period to attempt to repair it. neither the bbb, nor buick followed the bbb's own arbitration rules. buick rep and arbitrator both lied during the arbitration hearing, despite taking an oath at the beginning of the proceedings. these facts have been well documented, and were witnessed by another person who attended the hearing on my behalf. ready to start legal proceedings to protect my rights and obtain a truly fair resolution compensate for these defects. also want to make sure buick doesn't treat other customers the way they have treated me. *ak | |||
