2011 Buick Regal

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 WAS BEING DRIVEN OFF OF MAIN HIGHWAY INTO A SHOPPING CENTER PARKING LOT WHEN THE ENGINE SHUT OFF CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LOSE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART AND NEEDED TO BE TOWED TO LESTER GLENN BUICK THAT NIGHT. THE NEXT DAY AFTER SITTING IN THE DEALERSHIP PARKING LOT, THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO START AND THE DEALERSHIP STATED THEY WERE"UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. I PRESENTLY OWN TWO(2) 2011 BUICK REGAL AND BOTH HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. I HAVE CONTACTED G M NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE RECEIVED NO CALLS BACK FROM THEIR "SENIOR " ADVISER. HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT SIMILAR COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET WITH THESE VEHICLES. HOPEFULLY G M WILL ADDRESS THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT

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).

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.

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?
