2011 Buick Regal Complaint Log

AFTER THE CAR SITTING IN THE SUN, DRIVING IN SLOW TRAFFIC THE CAR IS RUNNING ROUGH, THE GAS MILLAGE DROPPED, THE BRAKE MAKING NOISE WHEN YOU STOP. WHEN ACCELERATE THERE IS GRINDING NOISE. I PULLED TO THE SIDE AND TURN OFF THE CAR FOR FIVE MINUTES, I START THE CAR AND IT RUN AS NORMAL. THIS WAS HAPPENING BEFORE FOR 2 MONTH. TAKE IT TO THE DEALER 3 TIMES, THEY ADVISE THERE IS NOTHING WRONG. LAST TIME THEY CLEAN THE BEARINGS AND IT DID NOT HELP. FINALLY THEY ADVISE TO REPLACE THE MODULAR FOR THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR AND IT REQUIRED REMOVE THE DASH BOARD AND LOT OF LABOR TIME. THEY ARE NOT SURE 100% IT WILL WORK AS IT IS NOT SHOWN ON THE SCAN

NONE OF THE 4 RECALLS WERE FIXED ON THIS 2011 BUICK REGAL CXL 2.4L CAR WHEN I PURCHASED THIS CAR AT BILLION AUTO IN IOWA CITY, IOWA. THE STABILITRAK IS BAD AND WAS NEVER BROUGHT UP IN THE PROCESS OF PURCHASING THE CAR AND I HAVE HAD TO CHANGE MY BRAKES, ROTORS, AND CALIPERS IN THE REAR BOTH SIDES 3 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 YEARS. I'M NOT HAPPY.

THE BRAKE PEDAL DOES NOT RETURN WHEN INTERIOR TEMPERATURES ARE VERY HIGH CAUSING BRAKES TO DRAG AND POTENTIALLY OVERHEAT AND PREMATURELY WEAR. IT WAS FIRST NOTICED WHEN ENTERING VEHICLE AFTER BEING PARKED FOR A WHILE.

HI, I'M WRITING TO FILE A SAFETY COMPLAINT. THE BUICK DEALERSHIP WILL NOT PERFORM THE MANUFACTURER SAFETY RECALL FREE OF CHARGE. GM RECALL NUMBER: 2030710 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 16V517 INOPERATIVE POWER SEATS, SEAT FIRES AND SEAT HEATING MODULE CONNECTOR MELTING THE DEALERSHIP STATED WE WOULD NEED TO PAY $700 TO REPAIR THE PASSENGER SEAT'S INOPERATIVE MOTOR BEFORE THEY COULD PERFORM THE RECALL. THE OTHER RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT PERFORMED. BUICK RECALL NUMBER: N120212 NHTSA RECALL NUMBER: 12V484 TURN SIGNAL LAMP OUTAGE INDICATOR NOT WORKING HOW SHOULD I PROCEED? THANK YOU!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED ENGINE FAILURE WHILE REVERSING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO LA FONTAINE BUICK GMC OF ANN ARBOR (500 AUTO MALL DR., ANN ARBOR , MI 48103, (734)7079368) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO SEIZE. IN ADDITION, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE ENGINE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 115,000.

WE ARE BIG FANS OF OUR BUICK'S, AS OF NOW WE'VE OWNED THREE AND HAVE HAD NO PROBLEMS. BUT NOW WITH ONLY 87,000 MILES ON IT THE TIMING CHAIN GUIDE TENSIONER HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT WAS DIAGNOSED IN AN EMISSIONS TEST. WE'VE LOOKED ON LINE FOR A RECALL AND ALL WE SEE ARE SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME ISSUE AND NO HELP. THIS IS EXTREMELY FRUSTRATING TO US AS BUICK OWNERS . I'M ASKING THAT YOU RECALL THIS ISSUE AND KEEP US BUICK OWNERS. IT'S A VERY COSTLY ISSUE TO REPLACE AND FOR LESS THAN 90,000 MILES ON OUR REGAL THAT'S NOT NORMAL. I AM ASKING YOU TO CONTRIBUTE/REIMBURSE US FOR AT THE VERY LEAST A PORTION OF THE COST. WITH A BABY ON THE WAY WE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO TAKE IT IN FOR THE REPAIRS. WE'D LOVE TO CONTINUE WITH PURCHASING BUICKS IN THE FUTURE BUT IF THIS WILL NOT BE LOOKED INTO WE WILL HAVE TO RETHINK GM PRODUCTS. PLEASE HELP ALL YOUR LOYAL CUSTOMERS. WHATEVER YOU CAN DO WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED..

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD WHINING NOISE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO COPPLE CHEVROLET GMC IN LOUISVILLE, NEBRASKA WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND WAS ALSO REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I HAVE HAD THE HEADLIGHTS REPLACED TWICE. WHERE YOU PLUG IN THE HEADLIGHT (LOW BEAM), IT MELTS AND THE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT WORK ANYMORE.

BOTH SEALED HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES HAVE FAILED AND NOW HAVE CONDENSATION INSIDE OF THEM. THE LIGHTS ARE STILL FUNCTIONAL BUT I AM AFRAID OF A SHORT CIRCUIT. THE DEALER WANTED $1,000 PER HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY TO REPLACE. THIS VEHICLE STILL HAS UNDER 50,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAPPENED WHILE IT WAS JUST SITTING THERE, BUT I DO DRIVE THROUGH RAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE CONTACT REMOVED THE ASSEMBLY AND FOUND THAT THE PLUG THAT CONNECTS TO LIGHT BULB WAS MELTED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE DEALER KEN FOWLER BUICK OF UKIAH CALIFORNIA AND WAS ADVISED THAT THEY DID NOT SELL JUST THE PLUG; THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY HAD TO BE PURCHASED. . THE FOLLOWING WEEK THE SAME FAILURE OCCURRED, BUT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE AND THE PLUG WAS BURNED INTENSIVELY, THAT EVEN THE HARNESS WAS MELTED ON THIS OCCASION. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSIS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. *TT *CN

THE THROTTLE BODY HAS A DEFECT WHICH SHUTS OFF ALL POWER TO VEHICLE WITH NO NOTICE. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION LOCK UP YOU LOSE ALL STEERING CONTROL AND NO BRAKES. ALSO NO LIGHTS SO WHEN IT HAPPENS AT NIGHT IT IS PITCH BLACK. GM DOES KNOW ABOUT THE PROBLEM AND WHEN I QUESTIONED THEM ABOUT THE LOSS OF LIFE LIKE WHAT HAPPEND WITH THE CHEVY CRUZE ALL MEMBERS OF GM ARE TOLD TO HANG UP THE PHONE. IT HAS HAPPEND ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE DEALERSHIP SENT ME BACK ON THE ROAD KNOWING THE PROBLEM. DEALER REP SAID IF I WAS A BETTER CUSTOMER THAY MAY HAVE DONE MORE FOR ME.

TIMING CHAIN ENGINE FAILURE

BOUGHT MY CAR FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER. THE CAR WAS A FUN TOY FOR ME TO DRIVE. MY 2011 REGAL APPARENTLY HAD HAS A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE SHOP SAYS NEEDS A NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SEALED AND CAN'T BE SERVICED. ANYWAY MULTIPLE TIMES I'M ON THE ROAD AND IN TOWN AND THE CAR DRIVES OKAY, BUT AS SOON AS MERGE ONTO THE HIGH WAY THE CAR STALLS. HERES WHAT HAPPENS AS SOON AS I MERGE ONTO THE HIGH WAY THE RPM'S GO WAY UP. THE TRASSMISSION IS STALLED.THE CAR WON'T ACCELERATE. MULTIPLE TIMES I'VE ALMOST HAD AN ACCIDENT. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER HAS "D" FLASHING AND ENGINE LIGHT IS OFF. I PULL OVER THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TURN THE CAR OFF, AND THEN RESTART THE CAR AND THEN IT WORKS AGAIN. THIS SUCKS. IT HONESTLY A 50 50 CHANCE THE CAR TRANSMISSION WILL STALL WHEN I MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY. I FEEL THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE. MANNY PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS RECENTLY AROUND THE SAME MILLAGE OF MINE. AROUND 100,000 MILES. ONLY PROBLEM IS BUICK TAKES BLAME ON THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE ENCLAVE,BUT NOT THE REGAL. WHAT A SHAME.

THE MORNING OF DEC 8 I WAS PULLING INTO MY JOB PARKING LOT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF 3 TIMES. AFTER WORK ON THE WAY HOME I NOTED A ROUGH IDLE. I PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND IT SHUT OFF AGAIN. I WAS ABOUT 100 YARDS FROM MY GM DEALERSHIP SO I PARKED IT THERE FOR SERVICE/REPAIR THE NEXT DAY. I WAS CALLED ON THE 10TH AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE TIMING CHAIN AND THIS REPAIR WOULD COST APPROX. $2200. I WAS THEN TOLD ON THE 12TH THAT THE TIMING SPROCKET AND CAM SHAFT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED ADDING COST TO THIS POOR MATERIAL OR POOR WORKMANSHIP. I REMEMBER A RECALL ON A ENGINE EARLIER IN THE YEAR THAT I THOUGHT THE DEALERSHIP REPAIRED WHICH I BELIEVE WAS SOMETHING INVOLVED WITH THE CAM SHAFT BUT I KNOW THEY HAD TO GO INTO THE ENGINE. THIS SHUTTING OFF WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN OPERATION REALLY SCARED ME AND THE CAM SHAFT, CAM SHAFT SPROCKET AND TIMING CHAIN SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE OF A BETTER MATERIAL, A STRONGER MATERIAL. $2000 SPENT EARLIER PLUS THE $2200 ESTIMATED NO I COULD HAVE PURCHASED AN ENGINE FOR $4200. MY VEHICLE IS CURRENTLY AT BURNS CHEVROLET BEING REPAIRED SINCE DEC 8TH. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO.

I PREVIOUSLY REPORTED AN ISSUE IN 2016 WITH ENGINE FAILURE DUE TO TIMING CHAIN FAILURE WHERE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND IMMEDIATELY THERE WAS ENGINE FAILURE, LOSS OF POWER AND WAS PUT IN A VERY UNSAFE POSITION. AFTER I COASTED MY CAR, WITH 4 WAYS ON, TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD I CALLED A TOW TRUCK WHICH TOWED ME TO THE NEAREST GM DEALER WHICH WAS VICTORY CHEVY IN MILAN MICHIGAN. AFTER SOME DIAGNOSIS THEY INFORMED ME OF THE COMPLETE TIMING CHAIN FAILURE AND INTERNAL ENGINE DAMAGE. AT THE TIME I HAD 111K MILES ON THE ODOMETER. I WAS INFORMED THE CAR NEEDED A COMPLETE REBUILD AND I VOICED MY DISPLEASURE ABOUT THE FAILURE SO SOON AFTER THE EXPIRATION OF THE 100K WARRANTY. WHAT GM DID AGREE TO WAS TO SPLIT THE REPAIR 60-40 WHERE I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR APPROX. $2700 OF THE REBUILD. AT THAT TIME I COMPLAINED ABOUT THE REBUILD VERSUS A NEW MOTOR AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS ALL THEY WOULD OFFER ME. I AGAIN COMPLAINED THAT IF IT'S REBUILT I WILL BE BACK IN WITH THE SAME ISSUE IN THE FUTURE SO HERE I AM LESS THAN 18 MONTHS AFTER A REBUILT MOTOR I TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER FOR A LOUD NOISE ON STARTUP AND SMELL OF AN OIL LEAK. THE DEALER NOW TELLS ME THE TIMING CHAIN NEEDS REPLACED AGAIN ALONG WITH A TOP END REBUILD COSTING APPROX. $4500 ALTHOUGH THERE IS NO DRIVABILITY ISSUE WITH THE CAR. SO I CALLED GM CUSTOMER CENTER AND SPOKE WITH THE SUPPOSED "HEAD SERVICE ADVISOR" AND WAS TOLD BY HIM THAT SINCE THE CAR IS OUT OF THE 12 MONTH WARRANTY THEY WOULD OFFER NO ASSISTANCE. I INFORMED HIM I HAVE BEEN A GM CUSTOMER SINCE 2003 AND THIS IS THE ABSOLUTE WORST VEHICLE I HAVE EVER OWNED. THE TIMING CHAIN IS A KNOWN ISSUE IN THESE CARS FOR FAILURE AND NOT JUST WITH HIGHER MILEAGE ENGINES. WHY IS GM NOT ISSUING A CAMPAIGN FOR THESE VEHICLES AND THEIR MOTORS? I HAVE REPLACED SO MANY THINGS ON THIS CAR I AM GOING TO FILE A COMPLAINT WITH THE BBB AND PURSUE LEMON LAW.

'TAKATA RECALL' LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. BUT HIGH BEAM WORKS JUST FINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE SEIZED AT A RED LIGHT AND NEVER RESTARTED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FAILED AND DISRUPTED THE ENGINE, LEAVING THE VEHICLE INOPERABLE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED BEFORE OR AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS VISUALLY DIAGNOSED. THE VISUAL DIAGNOSIS DETERMINED THAT THE FAILURE PART WAS THE TIMING CHAIN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,926. *TT *TR

THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO WANT TO CUT OFF WHILE AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT! I SIMPLY DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY THE ENGINE SEEMS TO BE SO LOUD. I HAD BOTH SHOCKS AND STRUTS REPLACED AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE ENTIRE FRAME SEEMS TO NOSE DIVE OR "WANDER" WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, TOTALLY UNCOMFORTABLE FEELING. TIRES ARE BASICALLY NEW I JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT SEEMS TO BE GOING ON WITH THIS CAR!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THERE WAS A MISFIRE IN THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TIMING CHAIN FRACTURED AND CAUSED SEVERE DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS THEN TOWED TO COUNTRYSIDE GM (N8167 KELLOM RD, BEAVER DAM, WI 53916, (920) 885-3301) TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,351.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED A COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDNENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ECM, CRANK SENSOR, AND MASS AIR FLOW SENSOR WERE DEFECTIVE AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 23,000.

THE CAR STALLS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS. AT FIRST, IT WAS ONLY WHEN I WAS STOPPED THEN BEGAN TO DRIVE AND THE CAR WAS SHIFTING INTO FIRST GEAR. HOWEVER, IT RECENTLY GOT WORSE. I WAS RECENTLY ON THE FREEWAY AND WHEN I REACHED 60 MPH, IT STALLED, BEGAN TO SHAKE, AND DECREASE IN SPEED. IT WOULDN'T LET ME ACCELERATE. ONCE I GOT OFF THE FREEWAY AND REACHED UNDER 10 MPH, IT BEGAN TO WORK AGAIN BUT STILL STALLED EVERY TIME IT SHIFTED GEARS. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT.

VEHICLE HAD RECALL 12212"A" PERFORMED IN OCT OF 2014 AT DELARSHIP, THIS RESULTS IN SOMETIMES IF NOT EVERY TIME OF A MIS-CALIBRATED BRAKE POSITION SENSOR. THE MIS-CALIBRATION RESULTS IN MY VEHICLE REQUIRING THE BRAKE PEDAL TO BE DEPRESSED ALMOST TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE PARK POSITION DISENGAGEMENT SENSOR IS ACTIVATED. IT IS AT THIS POINT WHEN THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE ACTIVATED. THIS EXTRA PEDAL TRAVEL RESULTS IN ME BEING ABLE TO COME TO A RAPID STOP FROM 85 MILES AN HOUR ON THE FREEWAY WITHOUT ANY REAR BRAKE LIGHTS ACTIVATING. THE BRAKE LIGHTS ARE NOT INTERMITTENT, THEY ACTIVATE EVERY TIME THE PEDAL IS PRESSED FAR ENOUGH, WHILE DRIVING THIS IS ONLY AT THE POINT WHEN ABS WOULD BE ACTIVATED UNDER EMERGENCY BRAKING. BUICK/GMC IS AWARE THIS IS THE CASE AND ISSUED RECALL 12212"B" ON OCT 11, 2016 WHICH READS: "THIS BULLITEN HAS BEEN REVISED TO INCLUDE A NOTE BEFORE STEP 4 OF THE SERVICE PROCEDURE. PLEASE DISCARD ALL COPIES OF BULLITEN 12212A." THE NOTE STATES: "THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR CALIBRATION MUST BE PERFORMED AFTER THE BRAKE PEDAL POSITION SENSOR,BCM,ECM, OR HPCM HAVE BEEN SERVICED." BUICK/GMC HAS NOT INFORMED DRIVERS UNDER THE ORIGINAL 12212A RECALL THAT THEIR BRAKE LIGHTS WILL NOT ACTIVATE BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL SERVICE AND HAVE REFUSED TO HONOR THIS NEWLY UPDATED PROCEDURE ON MY VEHICLE AND SHOWS AS "COMPLETE" ON NTHTSA WEBSITE. BOTTOM LINE THE ORIGINAL BOTCHED 12212A RESULTS IN BRAKE LIGHTS NOT ACTIVATING AND ANYONE THAT HAD 12212A DONE SHOULD GET 12212B NOTIFICATION AND RECALL COVERAGE.

TRAVELING ON FREEWAY APPROX. 5:45AM, ABOUT 72 DEGREES, SUNROOF AJAR (TILTED APPROX 1") BUT NOT FULLY OPENED. SUDDEN LOUD EXPLOSION OF SUNROOF GLASS. FIRST THOUGHT PROJECTILE, POSSIBLY BULLET. UPON STOPPING AND INSPECTING, NO FOREIGN OBJECT IN CAR AND VERY LITTLE GLASS. APPEARS MOST OF THE GLASS EXPLODED OUTWARD. IN ADDITION TO SHATTERED GLASS, STRESS CRACKS APPEAR IN REMAINING GLASS.

I'M WRITING ABOUT A CONCERN I HAVE REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION DESIGN FOR THE 2011 BUICK REGAL. I PURCHASED MY CAR FROM A REPUTABLE DEALER WITH A CLEAN CAR FAX IN 2014. THE CAR HAD ROUGHLY 45,000 MILES ON IT, AND EVERY BIT OF MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED AT THE APPROPRIATE INTERVALS SINCE I PURCHASED IT 3.5 YEARS AGO. DURING THE TIME THAT I'VE OWNED MY CAR, I HAVE PUT AN ADDITIONAL 30,000 MILES ON IT TOTAL. I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT ON THE HIGHWAY SINCE JULY OF 2015, AND MY TRIPS ARE SHORTER THAN 4 MILES ONE WAY. ON MY WAY TO WORK A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO, MY TRANSMISSION COMPLETELY FAILED WITHOUT WARNING. I WAS ALMOST BROADSIDED TWICE, TURNING LEFT AROUND A ROUNDABOUT. I WAS DRIVING ROUGHLY 30MPH, AND WITHOUT WARNING IT LOST POWER. THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT FLASHED, AND THE CAR STALLED TRYING TO SWITCH GEARS AS I ACCELERATED. WHEN I WENT TO PUT IT IN PARK, IT WILL SLIDE INTO REVERSE BUT DOESN'T MOVE IN ANY DIRECTION. I WAS FORCED TO PUSH IT UPHILL IN A PARKING GARAGE, SO MY TOW TRUCK DRIVER COULD COME AND TOW IT TO MY MECHANIC. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY MECHANIC, WHO INFORMED ME THAT THIS DESIGN HAS A FATAL DESIGN FLAW CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THE ENCLAVE HAS BEEN RECALLED AS WELL FOR EXACT SAME FAILURE. I THEN GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM HIS TRANSMISSION EXPERT, WHO WAS DUMBFOUNDED I WAS NEEDING TO REPLACE A TRANSMISSION IN A CAR THAT HAS ACCUMULATED 30,000 MILES TOTAL IN 4 YEARS TIME. BOTH MY MECHANIC AND MY TRANSMISSION EXPERT INFORMED ME THAT THE ENCLAVE HAD BEEN RECALLED FOR THE EXACT SAME FAILURE, AND THEY PERSONALLY KNEW OF BUICK REGAL OWNERS WHO HAD THEIR TRANSMISSIONS FAIL WITHOUT WARNING. IF I HAD BEEN GOING FASTER THAN 30MPH, OR BEEN ON THE HIGHWAY, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL! I SPOKE WITH MY ATTORNEY, WHO ADVISED ME TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH BUICK, THE FTC, AND THE NHTSA.

PASSENGER RIGHT REAR WINDOW FREQUENTLY JUMPING TRACK: WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY 10/16/13, REPLACED REGULATOR AND PUT BACK ON TRACK 05/30/17 AND 06/13/16

VEHICLE HAS 69,579 MILES. WHILE TURNING ONTO SIDE STREET OFF OF MAIN ROAD, ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER A MINUTE AND DRIVEN HOME. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO LESTER GLENN BUICK DEALERSHIP FOR THIS PROBLEM . THE DEALERSHIP WAS "UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND THERE WERE NO CODES SHOWING A PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE ISSUE WAS THAT THE VEHICLE WAS 100 MILES OVERDUE FOR AND OIL CHANGE AND WAS A LITTLE LOW ON OIL. WHEN I QUESTIONED THIS I WAS TOLD IT IS A "SAFETY FEATURE" TO PROTECT THE ENGINE FROM DAMAGE BECAUSE OF LOW OIL. I ASKED IF IT WAS A "SAFETY FEATURE" THAN WHY WAS MY SON ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHIN A MINUTE. STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED AN ANSWER. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS CALLS TO G M ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT ALL I HAVE GOTTEN WERE TWO CALLS TO MY HOUSE PHONE WHEN I WAS NOT HOME WHEN I SPECIFICALLY LEFT MY CELL PHONE NUMBER TO BE CALLED. I HAVE CALLED AN ADDITIONAL THREE TIMES AND LEFT A MESSAGE FOR A SENIOR ADJUSTER TO CALL ME BACK AND STILL HAVE NOT RECEIVED A RESPONSE. AS LUCK WOULD HAVE IT, I OWN TWO 2011 BUICK REGALS AND MY DAUGHTERS CAR IS EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES, BUT THAT WILL BE LISTED AS ANOTHER COMPLAINT . APPEARS TO BE MULTIPLE ISSUES ON THE INTERNET WITH THIS SAME CONCERN, BUT NOTHING SEEMS TO GET DONE

LAST NITE, 9:30 PM WE CAME OUT OF PUBLIX PARKING LOT DOING AN EASY LEFT. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, ALL LIGHTS LIT UP ON DASH AND CENTER CONSOLE LIT UP SAYING "LOWER DRIVER WINDOW.." FOLLOWED BY "LOWER PASSENGER WINDOW"!! WE COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, PUT IT IN PARK THEN IT STARTED AND WE GOT HOME. THIS MORNING, A EASY RIGHT ONTO HIGHWAY AND LOCKS OPENED AND CLOSED BY THEMSELVES AT ABOUT 30 MPH! DURING THE HWY DRIVE, AT 75MPH CAR STUTTERS, ENGINE WHINES THEN CATCHES ITSELF, ALL DASH LIGHTS COME ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT BLINKS 3 TIMES THEN GOES OUT! WHAT THE HE**.. COULD HAVE DIED!

BUICK REGAL 2011 IS CURRENTLY AT 67K, THE VEHICLE HAD TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT 63K. THE AUTOMOBILE CONTINUES TO STALL AS THERE SEEMS TO BE CONCERNS RELATED TO THE ACCELERATION/POWER OF THE CAR AT TIMES, VEHICLE DOESN'T DISPLAY THE POWER IT SHOULD BE DRIVING WITH. IN ADDITION AUTOMOBILE IS MAKING A SQUEAKING NOISE FROM THE WATER PUMP OR BELT WHEN VEHICLE AIR CONDITIONING IS RAN (EITHER IN MOTION OR STATIONARY).

WHILE MERGING ONTO A BUSY HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD GEAR. IT LOST POWER AND ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS WARNING OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE TRAFFIC WAS HEAVY BECAUSE OF THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND. WITH LITTLE ROOM TO MERGE, I ATTEMPTED TO SPEED UP WITH TRAFFIC WHEN IT FAILED. I WAS FORCED TO PULL OVER AND LIMP ALONG THE SIDE OF THE ROAD IN SECOND GEAR UNTIL THE NEXT EXIT WITH CARS FLYING BY AT 70-80 MPH. THIS WAS CAUSED BY THE "WAVE PLATE" IN THE TRANSMISSION COMING APART ACCORDING TO THE TRANSMISSION SHOP. THEY ALSO SAID THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. BUICK KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AS LISTED IN 2007-2009 RECALLS BUT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING FOR 2011 MODELS. THERE IS ALSO A PIA BULLETIN PI0780A FOR THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM AND MODEL YEAR. GM REFUSED TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. THERE ARE SEVERAL FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IT GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S SHIFTER WAS NOT FUNCTIONAL. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE'S WAS TOWED TO A LOCAL BUICK DEALER WHERE THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF FAILURE AND OPENED A CASE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS CONDENSATION IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY FAILED TO OPERATE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO GILBERT CHEVROLET (3550 US-441, OKEECHOBEE, FL 34974, (863) 261-8947) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT MOISTURE WAS IN THE HEADLIGHTS AND THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 95303514701. NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE WAS PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,579.

ONLY 64,000 MILES ON THE CAR AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE TIMING CHAIN WAS BAD. I BELIEVE IT IS A DEFECTIVE TIMING CHAIN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED OVERHEATING AND STALLING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO WRIGHT CHEVROLET BUICK WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BALANCED CHAIN WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND EXPLAINED THAT THE REMEDY WOULD BE AT THE CONTACT'S EXPENSE. IF A RECALL OCCURRED, THE CONTACT WOULD BE REIMBURSED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 65,000.

I RECEIVED A LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 2015 THAT THERE COULD BE A DEFECT IN MY THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THE SYMPTOMS WERE THAT THE CAR RAN ROUGH, REDUCED POWER, ENGINE LIGHT, ETC. AS SOON AS I RECEIVED THIS LETTER, AND WHILE MY CAR WAS STILL UNDER FACTORY WARRANTY, I TOOK THE CAR IN TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. THERE WAS BUT I CONTINUED TO DRIVE. I THEN MADE SEVERAL OTHER CALLS TO GM UNTIL FINALLY THE CAR BEGAN TO REALLY SHOW SINGS OF A MALFUNCTION. IT IS STALLING WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT LUNGES FORWARD WITH GREAT FORCE NEARLY SENDING MY DAUGHTER AND I THROUGH A STORE FRONT WINDOW. THEN IT JUST STARTED STALLING EVERY COUPLE FEET. ALL OF THE SYMPTOMS POINTED TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE AND O'REILLEYS AND THEY BOTH CAME UP WITH THE SAME CODES P0420 AND P0301 WHICH LEADS TO THE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR BUT THE DEALERSHIP SAID IF A SPECIFIC CODE DIDN'T COME UP, THEN IT WOULDN'T BE COVERED. OF COURSE THEY SAID THE CODE DIDN'T COME UP AND THAT I WOULD OWE THEM FOR THE DIAGNOSTIC PLUS THEY TOLD ME IT WAS LUNGING FORWARD BECAUSE OF THE OIL LEVEL. NOW I'M NOT A MECHANIC NOR A BRAIN SURGEON BUT I CERTAINLY DO KNOW THAT LOW OIL LEVELS WILL NOT CAUSE A CAR TO LUNGE FORWARD. I ASKED THE MANAGER AT BALLAS IF HE WAS "JUST GOING TO LET ME WALK OUT OF THERE WITH A DANGEROUS VEHICLE" AND HE SAID "THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO". I'VE SEEN OTHER COMPLAINTS ON LINE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I PAID $144 FOR THEM TO DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO MY CAR. IF IT WERE LOW ON OIL, WHY DIDN'T THEY JUST ADD OIL. NO, THEY PERFORMED A WHOLE OIL CHANGE WHICH I JUST HAD DONE LESS THAN A MONTH AGO. THEY KEPT SAYING "WELL, YOU DIDN'T BRING IT HERE, YOU WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE" SO? GM NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART AND MAKE THEIR DEALERSHIPS REPLACE IT NO QUESTIONS ASKED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.

TAKATA RECALL - MY REGAL IS 2011. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS. MY SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGH BEGAN COMING ON ALONG WITH ABS LIGHT. I ALSO EXPLAINED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND IT REDUCED TO 3/4 OF TANK. LAST WEEK ALL LIGHTS CAME IN ON CAR AS I WAS PARKING. TOOK THE CAR INTO TO BE SERVICED. THE DEALER COMPLETED A DIAGNOSIS ADVISING I HAD A LEAK FROM MY FUEL PUMP. NEEDED NEW FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS. FOR THE ABS PROBLEM NEEDED NEW BEARINGS AND SENSORS. I DROVE AWAY FOR SECOND OPINION. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING SLOWED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PRESSED GAS TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I HAD TO TURN CAR ON AND BACK OFF TO GET TO MOVE TO THE CENTER OF THE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. I SAT THERE FOR A MIN. WAS ABLE CRACK AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE OFF THE MAJOR ROAD. I GOT A SECOND OPINION HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO FIRESTONE. THEY ALSO SAW A FUEL PUMP CODE AND MENTIONED THE TIMING CHAIN. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON MY WAY HOME ON THE INTERSTATE. I SLOWED FOR THE EXIT AND HIT THE GAS. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID AT THAT POINT. THE DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHAT THE EXACT ISSUE IS WITH THE CAR. IT IS STILL THERE FOR DIAGNOSTIC NOW. THEY HAD TO ESCALATE AND STILL NO ANSWER. THEY ARE USING TRIAL AND ERROR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH IS A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE JOKE.

ENGINE CONSUMING OIL WITH NO LEAKS. TECH SAID THAT OIL IS PASSING THROUGH RINGS AND BURNING DURING COMBUSTION. MY CAR HAS 174000 MILES AND HAS BEEN WELL CARED FOR. I AM VERY UPSET THAT THE REMEDY FOR THIS IS TO OVERHAUL OR REPLACE THE ENGINE. ALSO, A/C DOESN'T WORK ANYMORE. TECH SAYS COMPRESSOR HAS FAILED. PLEASE REMEDY. LAST AMERICAN CAR I BUY.

MY CAR STALLED WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON THE FREEWAY, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET HIT BY THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR HAD BEEN RUNNING FINE, THERE WERE NO INDICATOR/WARNING LIGHTS FLASHING ON MY DASH PRIOR TO THIS. I AND IT TOWED TO A MECHANIC CLOSE BY AND HE TOLD ME IT LOOKS LIKE THE TIMING CHAIN HAD BROKE. I BOUGHT THIS AS A CERTIFIED CAR AND HAVE ALWAYS HAD THE OIL CHANGED AS SOON AS THE VEHICLE INFORMATION LAMP INDICATED IT WAS DUE.

REPLACED ENGINE A 2.4L LAF AND TRANSMISSION A 6T-50 WITH BAD TRANS @ 149K MILES ON 2011 BUICK REGAL. REPLACEMENT IS 2011 2.4L LAF ENGINE AND 6T-50 TRANS W/ 17K MILES. CAR NOW HAS P0089 AND P228D CODES AND WHINE FROM HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP AS DESCRIBED IN #PIP5203A. TURNS OUT ORIGINAL ENGINE IS A 2010 ENGINE WITH ALL THE CAM CHAIN ISSUES SEEN IN OTHER NHTSA COMPLAINTS. TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY MY DEALER TELLS ME ECM CAN NOT BE REPROGRAMMED TO 2011 BECAUSE PROGRAMMING IS DRIVEN BY THE VIN# ONLY. MY ONLY CHOICE IS TO BUY THE PARTS FROM GM (ABOUT $1000) TO TURN MY ENGINE BACK INTO A 2010 ENGINE OR PAY A DEALER SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS TO DO THE WORK. I`M IN A POSITION OF PAYING SEVERAL THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE FOR THE CAR THEN IT IS WORTH. THIS WAS TO BE MY RETIREMENT GIFT TO MYSELF, GUESS I WILL BE DRIVING MY 1997 PONTIAC GRAND AM UNTIL I DROP DEAD. THANKS GM, MY BRAND LOYALTY SURE PAYS OFF. MY ADVICE TO FUTURE CAR BUYERS, BUY ANOTHER BRAND!! P.S. I HOPE THIS CONSTITUTES SOME EMISSION VIOLATION AND THE EPA HITS GM WITH A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR FINE. P.S.S. IT DIES ON THE ROAD TO. WHERE IS MARRY B. WHEN YOU HER?

CHROME PEELING OFF INTERIOR DOOR HANDLES RESULTING IN SHARP EDGES THAT CAUSE DEEP CUTS ON MY PASSENGERS FINGERS AS WELL AS MINE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT RECEIVED NOTIFICATION OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V517000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, SEATS); HOWEVER, THE PART FOR THE RECALL REPAIR WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIR. THE CONTACT HAD NOT EXPERIENCED A FAILURE. PARTS DISTRIBUTION DISCONNECT.

THIS VEHICLE HAS A RECALL FOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEM IN SEATS. PARTS WERE UNAVAILABLE. IT DIED AND THEN CAUGHT FIRE ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AND WAS TOTALLED. GM DENIES ALL LIABILITY AND REFUSES TO OFFER ANY COMPENSATION.

WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, THE BRAKES BECOME SO HOT THAT THE ROTORS WILL GLOW RED. THIS WOULD NORMALLY BE A HUNG UP CALLIPER BUT IT SEEMS TO MOVE TO DIFFERENT SIDES OF THE CAR AND DIFFERENT WHEELS. UPON LETTING THE VEHICLE SIT FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME, THE ROTOR WILL COOL OFF. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN OR WHERE THE ROTORS WILL GET THAT HOT AND THE CARS DRIVING AND BRAKING ARE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.

2011 BUICK REGAL. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FAULTY DIRECT IGNITION HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED HE WAS ADVISED THAT HIS VEHICLE HAD THE SAME IGNITION HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP THAT RESULTED IN A RECALL FOR GMC VEHICLES.

2011 BUICK REGAL. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO WIRING HARNESS SAFETY RECALL.*LD THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO REIMBURSED FOR REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 10/05/2017*JS

WHEN AT A STOP SIGN MY VEHICLE DIED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT BUT AT SLOW SPEEDS IT CONTINUED TO DIE. ON THE WAY HOME, AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR PERFORMED FINE. AT SLOW SPEEDS THE REST OF THE DAY AND DURING A TEST DRIVE THE NEXT DAY, AFTER ABOUT 10 MINUTES, THE VEHICLE DIED ALMOST CONTINUOUSLY, LOSING POWER STEERING ETC. TO GET HOME I HAD TO KEEP A FOOT ON THE GAS WHILE BRAKING/TURNING AND STOPPED TO KEEP THE IDLE SPEED UP. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT TO THE DEALER THE NEXT DAY.
