2011 Buick Regal

I HAVE BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKES STICKING ON MY 2011 BUICK REGAL FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS NOW. THE PROBLEM OCCURS WHEN THE WEATHER IS HOT, IN THE MIDDLE 80'S AND ABOVE AND MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING CLOSED UP IN THE PARKING LOT AT WORK ALL DAY. I CAN RECREATE THE PROBLEM BY LEAVING IT OUT OF THE GARAGE IN THE SUN FOR SEVERAL HOURS. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND IS GETTING WORSE. AT FIRST IT CAUSED A DRAG ON THE BRAKES AND THE PEDAL WOULD NOT RETURN FULLY TO ITS PROPER POSITION. I HAVE TO USE MY LEFT FOOT TO PULL THE PEDAL BACK UP. NOW THE PEDAL REFUSES TO COME BACK UP AT ALL WHEN I TAKE MY FOOT OFF OF IT AFTER STARTING THE CAR AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH HAS COME ON A COUPLE OF TIMES. I AM EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE DRIVING IT LIKE THIS. I HAVE TO PULL THE PEDAL BACK UP EVERY TIME I USE THE BRAKES ON THE WAY HOME. THE BRAKES WILL RETURN TO 'NORMAL' AFTER ABOUT 15 MINUTES BY WHICH TIME I AM ALMOST HOME.

I FIRST GOT MY CAR WITH 20K MILES ON IT. DROVE IT FOR A MONTH AND THE STABILITY CONTROL WARNING CAME ON. THE CAR STALLED AND I HAD TO RESTART IT, ONLY FOR IT TO DO IT A COUPLE MORE TIMES. VERY SCARY!!! THIS NEEDS TO BE TAKEN CARE OF, AS I BOUGHT A LEMON! TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AS IT WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND THEY SAID THEY FIXED IT. HAPPENED AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER! APPARENTLY THEY DIDN'T FIX IT. GM NEEDS TO IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM AND RECALL THIS, AS I SEE MORE AND MORE COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME THING! CLASS ACTION NEEDS TO BE FILED OTHERWISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GEAR LEVER WAS SHIFTED INTO THE REVERSE AND DRIVE POSITIONS, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TRANSMISSION WAS REBUILT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 37,000. UPDATED 08/30/16*LJ *CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,200.

MY BRAKE PEDAL IS STICKING CAUSING MY CAR TO STALL AND MY CRUISE CONTROL NOT TO WORK, I HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL MY BREAK PEDAL BACK UP AFTER I USE MY BRAKES WHILE DRIVING. MY CAR IS ALSO JUST DYING WITH NO WARNING, WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE. MY LIGHTS, AND RADIO WILL STAY ON WHEN THIS HAPPENS, BUT MY AIR CONDITIONER AND ENGINE WILL CUT OFF. IT HAS HAPPENED OVER A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN THE LAST 3 WEEKS, IT'S GOTTEN TO THE POINT THAT I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT ANYWHERE.

WHILE APPROACHING AN INTERSECTION AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH MY 2011 BUICK REGAL WITH LESS THAN 48,000 COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. NO WARNING AT ALL. ALL THE LIGHTS WERE ON IN THE DASH INCLUDING A STABILI TRAC. LIGHT AND A MESSAGE THAT READ ENGINE POWER REDUCED. I THEN BLARED MY HORN AND CRUISED THRU THE INTERSECTION ON A RED LIGHT THANKFUL IT JUST TURNED RED AND OPPOSING TRAFFIC HADN'T STARTED ACROSS YET. I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO STOP THE CAR THAT HAD ABSOLUTELY NO POWER STEERING AND ABS WAS TURNED OFF AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. I WAITED A FEW MINUTES UNTIL MY NERVES CALMED DOWN AND RESTARTED THE CAR ALL THE LIGHTS WERE OFF EXCEPT THE ENGINE LIGHT. DROVE THE CAR HOME AND CALLED THE DEALERSHIP, WHO THEN HAD IT TOWED TO THEM. BY THAT TIME THE COMPUTER RESTARTED ITSELF AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, WITH THAT NO READING AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND I WAS LEFT BEING LOOKED AT AS IF I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT. THIS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 MONTHS AGO AND I HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES SINCE THEN. WHEN IS BUICK GOING TO STEP UP TO THE PLATE AND FINALLY DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS? ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE TO BE KILLED FIRST? I'VE READ THIS SAME PROBLEM WITH THE SAME CAR NUMEROUS TIMES ON NUMEROUS SITES...WHERE IS OUR HELP???? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLAMP DID NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE HEADLAMP BULB SOCKET WAS MELTED. IN ADDITION, THE DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP DID NOT FUNCTION AT ALL. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,000.

I HAVE OWNED MY REGAL SINCE 2011. AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR WOULD SHUDDER AND SHAKE, THEN I WOULD GET A SERVICE STABILLI TRAC MESSAGE FOLLOWED BY A MESSAGE STATING THAT THE ENGINE POWER HAS BEEN REDUCED. AFTER I HAVE THE ISSUE IT WILL RESET ITSELF AFTER RESTARTING AND THEN WILL RUN FINE FOR A WHILE. I CALLED ON STAR ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THEY TOLD ME THAT IT HAS AN ENGINE MISFIRE OR THE STABILITY TRAC NEEDS TO BE SERVICED OR THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY IS MALFUNCTIONING. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY TRIED TO FIX WITHOUT ANY LUCK. I THINK PART OF THE TROUBLE WITH FIXING IT IS THE FACT THAT THE COMPUTER RESETS ITSELF AND THEREFORE THEY CAN'T FIND A CODE. THE OTHER ISSUE WITH TRYING TO FIX IS THE FACT THAT THE CAR ONLY HAS THE ISSUE WHEN IT IS 35-40 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND BELOW. OTHER ISSUES I HAVE HAD, DRIVER'S SEAT HEATER NOT WORKING, OUTSIDE TRUNK RELEASE NOT WORKING, PASSENGER SIDE SEAT BELT DOES NOT CONNECT PROPERLY AND OF COURSE THE RECALLS FOR THE DRIVER'S SEAT BOLT AND EXTERIOR TURN SIGNALS. NOW FOR THE BAD NEWS FOR MYSELF IS THAT THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. GIVEN THE FACT THAT I HAVE READ MANY SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND MOST OF THEM NOT BEING RESOLVED, I FIND IT VERY HARD TO BRING MYSELF TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER AND HAVE THEM GUESS TO WHAT THE FIX MAY BE AT MY EXPENSE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD YESTERDAY, AT AROUND 50 MILES PER HOUR, OUR 2011 BUICK REGAL, WITH ONLY 56,000 MILES ON IT, LOST POWER OUT OF THE BLUE AND WOULD NOT DRIVE OVER 30 MILES PER HOUR. IT APPARENTLY WAS IN REDUCED POWER MODE DUE TO A FAULTY THROTTLE BODY. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON THE EXPRESSWAY, AS THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION GIVEN THE ROADS WERE VERY ICY YESTERDAY. APPARENTLY, MANY 2010 - 2012 BUICK REGALS ARE COVERED FOR THIS WITH A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT SO IT IS A KNOWN PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE OUR VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THIS ADJUSTMENT AS WELL. AS I MENTIONED EARLIER, THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE BELIEVE IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED.
