2011 Buick Regal

I AM HAVING A BRAKING PROBLEM WITH MY 2011 REGAL CLX TURBO. MY BRAKES DO NOT SEEM TO BE RELEASING WHEN THE CAR HAS BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE AND THE TEMPERATURE IS HIGH. STEERING WHEEL SHAKES WHEN APPLYING THE BRAKES AND EVEN WHEN THE BRAKES ARE RELEASED. THE BRAKE PEDAL AND OR PARKING BRAKE DOES NOT DISENGAGING ON THE BUICK REGAL 2011.

TAKATA RECALL - THERE IS AN ISSUE WITH THE BALLAST IN THE HID HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY FOR THE CXL TURBO MODEL. THE SEAL MAY BE FAULTY DUE TO THE HEADLAMP SHORTING OUT EXCEPT FOR THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS. THEY SHORTED OUT RIGHT AFTER A HEAVY DOWNPOUR AND I WAS STOPPED BY A POLICE OFFICER AND TOLD THAT THEY (THE HEADLIGHTS) WERE OUT. I GOT OUT OF THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED AT THE THE LIGHTS ONLY TO REALIZE THAT THEY HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND THERE WAS MOISTURE IN THE ASSEMBLY ITSELF.

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

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!

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.

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.
