yes, this is a major problem with the 97-04 regals it was a recall issue. it is caused by a power steering malfunction. if you call your local GM dealer and give them your VIN they should be able to tell you if this has been replaced or not on your car. I found out the hardway losing all power steering in Austin texas I turned my wheel without it and ... Read More

Reprogramming keyless entry
Written by: revev7 on Mar 16, 2005 12:41:58 PM
I have a 2000 Buick Regal. The keyless entry is giving me trouble. The battery is OK. What is the process to reprogram the fob? I have found instructions for a 1999 and 2002 and they are different, so I thought I had better ask for 2000 specifically.

Did anyone here install an aftermarket sunroof in their buick regal, and, if so, how much did you pay, which company manufactured the 'roof, and are you happy with the job? I am thinking of getting mine done (I have a 2002 Buick Regal GS). Thank you, jbm

Extended Warranty?
Written by: jbm on Mar 2, 2004 4:34:01 PM
Hi all, I have a 2002 Buick Regal GS with 26,000 miles, and I am considering dropping $1000+ via AAA on an extended warranty so I'm covered for (say) up to 75,000 miles. But I've also heard that as a general rule of thumb, extended warranties aren't worth the extra expense. For all you Regal GS owners with extended warranties, do you feel they've paid off?

Should I buy
Written by: coonhound on Jan 3, 2004 7:55:41 PM
Considering that consumer reports has not had a domestic sedan with #1 reliability rating in at least six years it is truly remarkable that Regal was picked as #1 family sedan for reliability. They have always been Toyoto, Honda, or Maxima just as all reviews and ratings including Edmunds. I have considered a Camry but when I follow one and see the tail pipe hanging down close to the ground with ... Read More

Was going to purchase an 03 but since Bob had de-contented the regal to make it like a camcord, I went with an 02 that still had luxury and useful content. i.e. loaded except for heated seats and on-star.

Squeaky rear suspension

All- I have a 2002 Buick Regal GS with about 17,000 miles. there is a squeak (kind of a chirping sound) coming from what I *think* is the suspension.

I like the Buick Regals as well however the build quality really has went down hill, my 2002 Buick Century has a dash board that rattles and squeaks, the plastic pieces just don't keep quiet, i've driven several cars/trucks in the past this has to be the worst for interior noise/dash noise.

Not so much the old rebates, as the current rebates hold price low. Dealers are usually pricing mid-size GM car at about $2,000 below sticker. And yes, most people can get the deal. Just print the car description from Edmunds' site, including the TMV price, and bring it to dealership. Most car salesmen would see that you are prepared , and would offer reasonable price from the very beginning. Currently GM ... Read More

Please help. We have a good history with buying Buicks from this dealer (9 to be exact). Also is it worth buying an extended warranty?
