| I rec'd a recall notice on my vehicle in nov. 2011 and have been trying to make arrangements to get it in to a dealer to have the recall fixed when this fire started in the engine compartment while i was on my way home from picking up my son, and my daughter was in the vehicle as well, i have no other means of transportation to get to and from work, and my work is 30 miles away. in contacting gm they told me that they will only fix the recall part any other damage will not be covered, i do not have the extra money to fix this vehicle at this time and i have already missed 3 days of work, and have no more personal paid days off to take. i am the main breadwinner of my household and my husband is using a borrowed vehicle to get back and forth to work as well. i feel that it is truly unfair gm can't or wont help out a mother of 3 with fixing this vehicle so that i may continue to provide for my family. | |||

| 1. right side cornering lamp is inoperative despite replacing bulb, socket and even entire right side headlamp housing assembly with all new wiring and bulbs in it (not the turn signal because that works and so do all headlight functions i.e. high/low beam). 2. when above issue started car suddenly started shutting off whenever turn signals where used when passing or trying to enter highway on entrance ramp regardless of if we were speeding up or slowing down. it has also happened at a complete stand still while local mechanic was investigating complaint regarding all the above and he is still not able to find the cause. i am afraid to let my family ride in this vehicle and i am afraid it will cost us a fortune trying to figure out what is causing this unsafe issue! | |||

| 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. | |||

| This car has had numerous problems, noted by many owners. rusted paint over rear wheel wells. i cannot count the number of times i have had to get the turn signals fixed. i had to replace the abs system this spring. now i am told i have a cracked manifold. the heating display on the dashboard has not worked for three years: we manipulate the heat/ air by trial and error. i had a check engine soon light problem that required numerous computer scans, and would only be fixed for a month or two at a time. the window buttons are failing. the car drives well, but how much more money is it reasonable to put into? it has 138, 00 miles, and has been serviced every 3000 miles. it should be good for another 60, 000 miles. after reading the complaints, it seems i will only be washing my money. is the cracked manifold related to the reported fires? | |||
