Buick Reatta problems

buick logo

The Buick Reatta is a low-volume transverse front-engine, front-wheel drive, two-door, two-seater grand tourer manufactured and marketed by Buick as a coupe (1988–1991) and convertible (1990–1991) — both featuring a 3.8 liter V6 engine and shortened version of the GM E platform, shared with the seventh generation Buick Riviera.

As Buick's first two-seater and its first convertible since the 1985 Riviera, the Reatta was manufactured in a highly specialized assembly program at the Reatta Craft Center (later known as the Lansing Craft Center) in Lansing, Michigan—achieving production of over 21,000 units in four years.

Overview

For the Reatta's manufacture at the Reatta Craft Center, specialized teams of workers assembled the car at a series of stations rather than on a conventional assembly line. After a team had completed their portion of the assembly, the car would be moved by robots to the next station. Paintwork was performed on site under subcontract to PPG Industries.

The Reatta used GM's transverse "Buick 3800" V6 with 165–170 hp (123–127 kW) and 210–220 lb·ft (285–298 N·m) of torque with the highest output in the last year of production. The car used a fully independent suspension, 4 wheel disc brakes with ABS, and front wheel drive. Top speed was electronically limited to 125 mph (201 km/h). The Reatta was rated at 18 mpg (13.1 L/100 km) in the city and 27 mpg (8.7 L/100 km) on the highway.

Intended as a halo car for Buick, production was projected at 20,000 Reattas annually, and was available while the Cadillac Allanté and Pontiac Fiero were also available. GM announced the end of production in early 1991.

Common Buick Reatta problems

The Buick Reatta, produced from 1988 to 1991, is a luxury sports car known for its distinctive design and unique features. However, as with any vehicle, it is not without its share of common problems that have been reported by owners.

One of the most frequently mentioned issues is related to the electrical system, particularly the digital dash. The digital dash is known for having problems with the power supply, which can cause the console panel lights to go out occasionally. This issue can be intermittent and may not affect the overall performance of the car, but it can be frustrating for owners. A suggested solution is to replace the digital dash with a rebuilt one that comes with a warranty, which should correct the problem.

Another electrical issue that has been reported is related to the seat controls. The wiring for the seat controls can become brittle and break, especially in the 1988 and 1989 models that have the controls located in the door. This can make it difficult to adjust the seats, and replacement parts can be expensive. However, some owners have found ways to fix this issue themselves by using information from online forums.

The Reatta's body control module (BCM) is another component that has been known to cause problems

In addition to these electrical issues, some owners have reported problems with the rear hatch not opening properly. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a faulty latch or a damaged wiring harness. Repairing this issue can be time-consuming and may require the expertise of a qualified mechanic.

Finally, some owners have reported shifting problems in cold or wet weather. This can be caused by a variety of factors, such as a faulty transmission or a damaged wiring harness. Repairing this issue can be expensive, so it is important to diagnose the problem accurately before taking any corrective action.

In conclusion, the Buick Reatta is a unique and distinctive luxury sports car that has been known to have some common problems related to the electrical system, body control module, rear hatch, and shifting. While these issues can be frustrating for owners, they can often be addressed with the help of qualified mechanics and online resources.

Buick Reatta 1990
  • Date Of Incident: 2007-02-14
  • Date Complaint: 2007-03-07
  • Components: VISIBILITY
  • Summary: 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

Latest positive Buick Reatta car reviews

  1. D'angelo Von 2024-11-24

    Vehicle year: 1991

    Great birthday present! It sounds like you're having a lot of fun driving it. The acceleration seems decent and the handling is excellent. It's great to hear that you're getting lots of looks and positive comments when you're out and about. Even though it's a manual process, it's easy to drop the top. It's good to know that you've had the pop-up headlights repaired, and the power window on the driver's side just needs a replacement. Currently, she has 54k miles on her.

  2. Pierce Renner 2024-11-17

    Vehicle year: 1990

    I have rebuilt almost the entire car. The only thing left to do is the interior seats and some simple external fixes. This car has a new engine, a 1990 Buick replacement engine, a new transmission, air conditioning, and its original white paint with white trim, which was a special order. It's a fun car to drive, with a new top and great tires. I absolutely love it!

  3. Juvenal Effertz 2024-11-06

    Vehicle year: 1991

    You have a really nice car! It sounds like it's a lot of fun to drive, especially with that 165hp 3.8L V6 and 210lb torque. Overall, it seems like a really enjoyable car to have.

  4. Alejandrin Waelchi 2024-10-01

    Vehicle year: 1991

    I've owned my convertible for three years now and it's been an absolute joy to drive. It's incredibly comfortable and spacious, with a generously sized trunk. Plus, it's fully loaded with all the latest features. I was looking for a reliable collector car that offered both comfort and luxury, and this car has exceeded my expectations. I drive it every day without any issues, and finding parts has never been a problem. Unlike some of my friends who own older collector cars that require constant maintenance, I get to spend more time enjoying my car than fixing it. It's been a great investment and I couldn't be happier with my purchase!
