BUICK REATTA 1990 Service Brakes, Hydraulic Antilock Report #714752

BUICK REATTA 1990 car safety problem was reported on Nov 09, 1999.BUICK REATTA 1990, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . I AM REPORTING THIS BECAUSE APPARENTLY THE BRAKE SYSTEM CAN FAIL IN THESE CARS WITH NO WARNING. THE MECHANIC THINKS THAT A SWITCH BURNED OUT, WHICH LET THE ELECTRIC PUMP RUN CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL IT BURNED OUT. THERE'S A SENSOR THAT'S SUPPOSED TO NOTIFY THE DRIVER OF THIS PROBLEM, BUT THE SENSOR IN MY VEHICLE IS APPARENTLY NON-OPERATIVE. THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN HOW THE BRAKES "FELT" WHEN APPLIED UNTIL THE MOMENT THEY SIMPLY FAILED. THE LACK OF A SENSOR HAS LED TO AN EXTREMELY COSTLY REPAIR (ESTIMATED AT $2000 PARTS & LABOR). MORE IMPORTANTLY, IT ALLOWED A SITUATION WHEREIN THE BRAKES COULD FAIL WITH NO DASHBOARD WARNING TO THE DRIVER. I TOOK A COMPLETE LOSS ON THIS CAR IN TRADING IT IN. I WAS PLANNING TO SELL IT ANYWAY, BUT I DIDN'T HAVE THE CASH TO FIX THIS HUGE PROBLEM, SO I JUST TRADED IT TO THE DEALER UNREPAIRED. BECAUSE OF THE NON-OPERATIVE BRAKES, I RECEIVED $800 FOR A CAR WITH A BLUE BOOK VALUE OF AROUND $6,000. I WANT BUICK MOTOR COMPANY TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAKE SURE EVERY REATTA ON THE ROAD DOESN'T HAVE A SIMILARLY FAULTY SENSOR THAT COULD LET THESE OTHER SYSTEMS' FAILURES GO UNDETECTED. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):1G4EC13C4LB.

BUICK REATTA 1990 car safety problem was reported on Nov 05, 1999.BUICK REATTA 1990, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK . I'M WRITING A SECOND TIME ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I READ THE COMPLAINTS SECTION OF YOUR WEBSITE AND FOUND TWO MORE INCIDENTS SUSPICIOUSLY SIMILAR TO MY OWN. I ALSO WROTE ABOUT IT ON THE BUICK REATTA DISCUSSION PAGE ON THE INTERNET AND ONE OTHER PERSON WROTE IN TO SAY HE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM. SINCE THIS IS A CATASTROPIC FAILURE OF THE BRAKE SYSTEM WITH NO WARNING, I FIGURE YOU GUYS WOULD WANT TO KNOW ABOUT IT. I THINK THAT THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO REATTAS BUT WOULD AFFECT EVERY BUICK/GM VEHICLE WITH THE SAME ELECTRONICALLY CONTROLLED ABS SYSTEM. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A BAD SWITCH THAT CONTROLS THE ELECTRIC PUMP. THE PUMP BURNED OUT. THERE SHOULD'VE BEEN A DASHBOARD WARNING ABOUT THE PROBLEM WHEN ONLY THE SWITCH WAS BURNED OUT, BUT THE SENSOR READING THE SWITCH HAD ALSO FAILED!!! THAT LEFT ME WITH NO BRAKES AND NO WARNING. THERE WAS NO PHYSICAL CHANGE IN HOW THE BRAKES FELT UNTIL THE TOTAL FAILURE OF THE SYSTEM!!! SINCE THERE WERE ONLY ABOUT 4,000 REATTAS PRODUCED IN 1990, IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THE INCIDENCE OF THIS PROBLEM IS WAY TOO HIGH TO BE IGNORED. IF OTHER BUICKS AND GM VEHICLES HAVE THE SAME SYSTEM, YOU ARE LOOKING AT A POTENTIALLY HUGE PROBLEM OUT THERE. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. *AK.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Buick Reatta 1990 problem was reported in KISSIMMEE, FL. Vehicle was purchased on 19920601.

BUICK REATTA 1990 Visibility Defroster/defogger System Report #10184415

BUICK REATTA 1990 car safety problem was reported on Feb 14, 2007.BUICK REATTA 1990, manufactured by GENERAL MOTORS CORP. had a problem with VISIBILITY:DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM . THERE IS A SERIOUS DESIGN PROBLEM WITH THE 1990 BUICK REATTA. THE CAR HAS AN AUTOMATIC HEATING AND AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO TURN ON THE DEFROSTER TO CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD FROM FOGGING UP WHEN THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE IS ABOVE 39 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT IF THE CAR IS LOW ON FREON. I REALIZE THAT WINDSHIELDS CLEAR UP FASTER IF THE AIR IS DEHUMIDIFIED BY THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM. THE COMPUTER OF THIS SYSTEM WILL NOT ALLOW ANY AIR TO BE BLOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD IF THE FREON PRESSURE SWITCH DETECTS LOW FREON PRESSURE. THE SYSTEM SHOULD ALLOW AIR WARM AIR TO BE BLOWN ON THE WINDSHIELD TO DEFOG THE WINDSHIELD. IT IS AN UNSAFE DESIGN WHICH WILL NOT ALLOW YOU TO DEFOG YOUR WINDSHIELD BECAUSE OF A BAD FREON SWITCH OR BECAUSE OF LOW FREON. IN LOUISIANA THERE ARE MANY DAYS IN WHICH THE WINDSHIELD NEEDS DEFOGGING DUE TO HIGH HUMIDITY OR RAIN. *JB.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 92000 miles.
