Loss of headlights when dimmer switched used to dim bright lights resulting in no lights tripping it several times brought lights back and left them on dim until I could get it serviced at cost of approx 400.00 this was about four years ago. Recently tilt column has been difficult to operate now will not lock in position and lights will not work when column is tilted down. Is this a known problem with my vehicle. I bought it new in 94 and am the only driver. I am afraid the steering column will shift unaffectedly and cause me to wreck or cause the motor to stall and lock steering and cause a wreck. Is there a recall for this?

Exterior lighting
- What is wrong
- Incorrect clear front side marker bulbs were installed rather than amber bulbs. This does not conform to the requirements of fmvss no. 108, "lamps, reflective devices, and associated equipment."
- Risk
- Consequence of non-compliance: during illumination, the bulbs will show clear rather than amber and could momentarily confuse other drivers.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the clear bulbs with the correct amber bulbs.

What 1994 Buick Regal owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Multi function switch for turn signal which feeds brake lights causes brake lights to fail to come on when brake pedal is depressed. In searching web found to be common problem in this vehicle.
Turn signal unit replaced three times. One time when vehicle was under warranty, and twice at consumer's expense of $270.00 each time. *ak
This is happening alot to these type of cars. It almost got my family in an accident!! No safety defect listed.
Wiring shortage within multi function switch (turn signal) caused brake lights not to luminate. Lights would come on only while holding turn signal handle back and depressing brake . Pedal. Dealer refussed to replace switch without charge, switch is on recall 97v‑017 (strained or separated wire for turn signal) I would sugest that all the wiring within this switch be examined and covered under this recall!
Headlights and dashboard lights kept flashing. Mechanic said it was an electrical problem.
No summary listed for above vehicle.
Whenever it rains the turn signals become inoperative. Dealer is replacing the turn signal indictor.
Ten times or more throughout history of car turn signals do not operate for no reason. After sitting for a day they operate. Suspect moisture, seems to happen after rain storms.
Abs brakes failed four times; also alternator/turn signal/windshield wiper/fuse box malfunctioned.
