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.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE CITY ROAD AND MY CAR JUST SHUT OFF AND LOST ALL POWER TO EVERYTHING. I ALMOST GOT HIT. I THEN TURNED MY CAR BACK ON AND THE SERVICE STABILITY TRAC LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS FLASHING. I COULD NEARLY GET IT TO GO AT ALL AND MY CAR WAS SHAKING AND SPUTTERING. IT WAS THE SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER DEALT WITH. I HAD IT PUT IN THE SHOP ON 10/26/2018 AND NOW IT JUST HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN AND ITS 03/26/2020.

IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE BRAKE PADS, CALIPERS AND ROTORS 3 TIMES IN 1 YEAR IN MY 2011 BUICK REGAL CXL 2.4L. NOW I'M GETTING READY TO DO IT FOR A 4TH TIME. I WAS SOLD CAR THAT HAD A HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY EXHAUST THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WAS THERE UNTIL WINTER CAME AND HAD TO RUN THE HEAT. THE STABILITRAK SYSTEM CAME ON OUT OF THE BLUE AND SHUT MY CAR OFF GOING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR. I'M JUST FED UP AND OVER IT. ITS COSTING ME WAY TOO MUCH MONEY FOR ONLY ONLY THE CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR NOW.

ICAR ONLY HAS APPROX 86,000 MILES. WAS RIDING DOWN STREET CAR SHUT OFF. IT TURNED RIGHT BACK ON BUT IT WAS MAKING A VERY LOUD NOISE. PARKED IT. NEXT MORNING WENT TO START IT AND IT WOULDN'T. HAD TIMING SILENOIDS AND STARTER CHANGED. CAR IS READ NO CODES AND IT STILL WENT START. HAD TAKEN TO ANOTHER SHOP FOR SECOND OPINION. THEY SAID I NEEDED A MOTOR. WHERE AM I TO GET $2800

TAMARA RECALL; MY BUICK REGEAL IS 2011 WITH 84000 MILEAGE. A FRUSTRATING ROTTING/GRANDING NOISE COMES OUT FROM THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR IGNITION TURN ON TO ACCELERATING FR0-25MPH, BEFORE THE ANNOYING NOISE STOP. ENGINE ALSO MISFIRE AND CAR DIES WHEN IT LIKES; STABILITY CONTROL INDICATE ON THE SCREEN. WHEN CHECK ONLINE, LOTS OF PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM AND HOW DIFFICULT FOR IT TO BE RESOLVE AS MANY THINGS BROCKEN CAN CAUSE THE PROBLEMS.

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

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.
