Bugs

 * A common bug found on all versions results from the AI package of Sonora Cruz. Many hostile creatures will spawn around the Regulator HQ including deathclaws, radscorpions, Sentry Bots, and possibly a squad of Enclave from 5-8 soldiers, prompting Cruz to enter flee mode. It is recommended that the player quickly kill any hostiles they encounter when they fast travel to the Regulator HQ, as Sonora Cruz will continue fleeing until they are killed. If not done so quickly, Cruz might encounter other hostiles and continue to flee. A solution if Sonora is missing is to enter the Regulator HQ and then bring up the console. Type "prid 0006f212" which will target Sonora, then type "moveto player" which will bring Sonora directly to the players location.
 * After fleeing, if she has survived. Sonora Cruz will sometimes stay where she has last ran to. This can be a problem, as you will have to find her standing somewhere around (or far from) the Regulator HQ if you wish to speak to her. She will still talk as if she is within the Regulator HQ.

Appearances
Sonora Cruz appears only in Fallout 3.
