Buick Regal Reliability through December 31, 2012
General NotesModels and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

| Jun | 2012 | 1000 | 0 | On the way home from the picking the car up new, a steering wheel shimmy and slight pull became apparent. Took the car into the selling dealer two weeks later to have wheel balance and alignment completed. Was sent to a second dealer for balance/alignment issue who had more modern equipment. Alignment pull was resolved. Wheel imbalance was largely reduced but remains present at around 70mph. Have a ticket open with Buick for another trip. |
