Was driveing down the highway going 65 and went to turn on my turn signal and my engine stoped. i nearly crashed the car. i tried to restart the car and everytime i used the blinkers the car would either turn off restarts the computer like i just started the car. the abs light and check engine light comes on now and the driver side headlight wont come on. i had a friend drive 3 hours to come and tow my car. i almost got hit by a semi truck because of this. someone needs to get this issue fixed. *tr
1) while driving at night with the brights on my headlights go out (fail) at random. the headlights come back on when the dimmer switch is hit ~or~ by themselves if i wait it out. 2) this headlight failure has caused several near accidents. it's a definite safety issue. 3) i have taken my vehicle in to be looked at twice and no correction has yet to be made to the problem. my mechanic now believes that it's due to a malfunction in the dimmer switch. *** this failure started in mid november '07 and has been ongoing ever since with several random incidents weekly. *tr
1999 buick regal front turn signals keep burning out, i believe it is from the housing that holds the bulbs. it seem like the plastic at the bottom of the bulb that snaps in to the housing sparks and burns it causing the bulbs to fail. *tr
Repeated failures of the plastic bulb socket (gm part #12456483) on front turn signal -parking light on 1999 buick regal. the bulb, a standard 3157na, burns out in exactly the same fashion as bulbs that burn out on other gm models covered by the nhtsa safety recall is # 04v524. apparently the bulb is not securely held in place and the arcing that results burns away the plastic of the bulb and the bulb socket. the absence of a visible left turn signal is a safety issue. *jb
The transmission was found to be defective after going back to the dealer numerous times and no defects were found. *jb the right rear fog light fell out. *jb
