What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 1999 buick regal. While pumping fuel in the vehicle, flames appeared under the hood. A station attendant opened the hood and extinguished the fire. The contact called her brother-in-law, an independent mechanic, who towed the vehicle to his residence. The mechanic assessed the damage and diagnosed that the ABS wires underneath the vehicle burned. The wires were replaced. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure.
Brakes continually overheat and cause the wheel covers to become almost too hot to touch. Brakes, rotors, calipers, pads and brake fluid on both front and back just changed last week and the problem persists. Gas mileage is down almost 10%. No warning lights on.
