Is 41 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2016 and 2025, roughly 4 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.
How does it compare with other years? The 2016 has 41 complaints on file, more than the 2015 (33) and more than the 2017 (20). Of the 9 model years of the Buick Regal we cover, the 2011 has the most (279). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
