The car's problem is that it stops at any time. Because of this problem, my son and my wife, who drives the car, had many times the posibilities to be involved in the traffic accident.
1998 Buick Regal engine complaints
Page 4 of 4: complaints 71 to 83 of 83, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle stalls with no prior warning. Dealership told consumer that problem has been resolved. But problem still exists.
Engine stalls after accelerating from dead stop. Yh
Car stalls after coming to a stop and then pushing gas pedal. Dealer claims that a wiring harness needed to be re-routed. Reading the complaint database I see this is a more common problem than was told. If it is the wiring harness, then okay and the defect should be recalled. If this is not the cause of the stalling then I don't know what I will do.
From standing stop, car either hesitates violently or stalls. Dealers cannot duplicate and have not even attempted repair.
Intermittently in cold climates, windshield wipers malfunction, causing visual difficulty which may result in a crash. Also the horn will malfunction/fumes from exhaust system will enter the vehicle, causing the occupant to feel sick. Dealer cannot determine the causes. Please provide further information and VIN#.
