Since my purchase of the 2001 Buick Regal in 2013, I have had to replace the air compressor three times. (2014, 2015 and 2016)

Do you drive a 2001 BUICK REGAL?

Just because a car has been recalled does not mean it is not a reliable car. Millions of cars get recalled every year. Recalls often involve problems that are rare but could cause a serious problem if they occur. So the risk to any given driver is often remote, even though there may be a few high-profile incidents traced to the problem.
