What Owners Say
"the whole infotainment system doesn't reset itself as it shoud. Buick told me to bring it in but I fear it is going to be a problem that is going to be fixed but the 50,000 bumper warranty is up in 5,000 more months."
Robert K., NJ (2015 Buick Regal Base 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Was in the city at dentist. When finished with dentist went to my parked car and drove towards home. Usually the screen comes on slowly so I kept driving even though screen was blank at startup. All the way home , maybe 10 miles, screen stayed blank, no speedometer on highway. Got home shut car off, hour later when needed to use car agin everything was fine."
Richard N., NY (2015 Buick Regal GS 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Music and heat/ac change settings on their own. Apparently software/computer glitch."
Anonymous, WI (2015 Buick Regal Base 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"OnStar stopped working three times. After last time, GM came out with dealer notification that module needed to be ordered and replaced. No problems since. Wished problem solved sooner."
Carole T., MN (2015 Buick Regal GS 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Began showing that I was driving in a lake in Canada. I had never purchased updates. I didn't want to pay several hundred dollars to fix it since I now rely on google maps on my iPhone."
Anonymous, ME (2015 Buick Regal Unsure 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Have to disable Bluetooth to get Google Maps voice directions on iPhone 6. Appears to be an Apple iOS issue - sometimes updates fix it, sometimes they break it"
D R., PA (2015 Buick Regal Premium II 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The battery was replaced and afterwards the presets for the satellite stations were not able to be reset."
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Buick Regal)"The car was brought in for a new battery. Once the new battery was connected the preset station for the satellite radio were gone. The radio now will not allow for the stations to be preset once again. This only occurs for the satellite stations. AM/FM stations are fine."
Anonymous, NJ (2015 Buick Regal GS Unsure)"I cannot get many stations in Philadelphia and NO stations outside of Philadelphia. Nobody at the dealership knows how to work the radio. The instruction book is totally inadequate"
Alfred Z., PA (2015 Buick Regal Base 2.0-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Sound bad. Poor midrange. Chinch treble. Nowhere near the expected quality for this level of vehicle."

"We purchased this car from Buick dealer. It was previously a leased vehicle before we purchased it. A few weeks after purchase we realized that the backup safety sensors did not work. Took it back to dealership and found out that the leasing company had installed an aftermarket systems that caused this problem. The dealership paid to have the problem repaired."
