Driving on the highway and abs, stabltrack and steering lights came on. This is the third time in 2 years that a wheel bearing failed on this vehicle. A magnet ring in the wheel bearing that sensors wheel speed failed and fractured causing a loss of power steering, abs, and traction control.
My Buick Regal 2013 ( VIN = 2g4gs5ev6d9229705 ) has needed (3) out of the (4) wheel bearings replaced. It only has 55,000 miles. I am not clear whether a wheel bearing is a safety issue, but I believe it could be.

Rear passenger tire went out of balance to such a degree that the entire car was rattling, mirrors shaking, at highway speeds. Vibration visible to observers outside and following the vehicle. After multiple attempts to balance the mechanic removed the tire from the wheel and found that the "quite running foam" had separated from the inside of the tire. Removing foam solved the issue. About a month later front passenger tire went out of balance, again, noticeable at highway speeds. Not willing to risk being stranded away from home, I have now personally paid, with some relief from gm, to have all four tires replaced with non-quiet running tires. I did a quick search, and if you look at the first comment in this "how to repair" article you will see others have had this problem too. Https://gm-techlink. Com/?p=8677.

Driver side headlight is retaining water/liquid. When I bought the car in 2015, I was told that my tires were new; then 2 years ago, I was told that I needed to replace two of them. Now one of the two original pirelli tires has pits and clears chunks missing from the tire base, as well as many cracks throughout the entire tire! lastly, the car has a habit of locking the doors on its own and keeping them locked, thereby making it impossible to get in. The most recent time, I called onstar. . . And didn't even speak to anyone, but they miraculously opened and the remote worked fine. . . Again! vehicle has under 49000 miles on it! vehicle has always been serviced by arnold chevy / Buick and no one else! OH, and just a complaint from when I purchased the vehicle: I was never told the car needed premium gas for best turbo performance; I was told that after owning the vehicle 3 years, after the warranty expired and I complained of the engine lagging.

In the last year I have had to replace brake pads, calipers and rotors 3 times in 1 year in my 2011 Buick Regal cxl 2. 4l. Now I'm getting ready to do it for a 4th time. I was sold car that had a hole in the middle of my exhaust that I didn't know was there until winter came and had to run the heat. The stabilitrak system came on out of the blue and shut my car off going down the highway. I have had nothing but problems with this car. I'm just fed up and over it. Its costing me way too much money for only only the car for a little over a year now.

The inside of the wheels are flaking off causing the tires to lose air and coming in contact with the caliper lines.
After much research I found there is no compact spare tire and wheels for the grand sport version of the 2012 Buick Regal anywhere I could find. They only provide an inflater kit. My last 3 flats could not be repaired with the inflater because of the type damage. No written documentation that I have obtained stated this fact. The problem is that we have family in the middle of pennslyvania and have to travel through the mountains where there is no cell phone conductivity (that eliminates the roadside assistance) a regular trip is for thanksgiving and we have experienced some extreme weather during some off these trips with minimal traffic due to the weather. Therefore we could have a flat and be stranded during a snow storm. I believe this is an unsafe condition. .
The contact owns a 2003 Buick Regal. The contact stated the aluminum casting around three of the four rims was peeling off. The contact took the vehicle to a dealer and was informed this had become a known failure and it was hard to re-seal the wheels. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileages were 55,000. The VIN was unknown.
Oe chrome plated aluminum wheels on my 2003 Buick Regal. Separation occurs between the chrome and the aluminum substrate resulting in an air leak, believed to be caused by salt corrosion. Loss of air could result in a deflated tire and subsequent loss of control. Discovered upon new tire purchase.
I am complaining about the rims on my Buick. I constantly have flat or low tires. I had a few mechanics look at my tires and they said the aluminum on the rim is peeling off. So that means that I need to buy new rims and that is expensive. It started out once in a while but now I fill up my tires every three or four days.
