2011 BUICK REGAL
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.

2011 BUICK REGAL
MY CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS STOPPED WORKING AFTER HAVING A RECALL FIXED ON MY 2011 BUICK REGAL. THE RECALLS THAT WERE FIXED WERE AN OIL LIFE MONITOR CONTROL MODULE AND A TURN SIGNAL CONTROL MODULE. AFTER HAVING THIS FIXED, MY CRUISE CONTROL AND BRAKE LIGHTS NO LONGER ARE WORKING. I WAS PULLED OVER BY A POLICEMAN, OTHERWISE I DID NOT KNOW THEY WERE NOT WORKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THE BRAKES WILL COME ON ONCE I DEPRESS THE BRAKE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR OF THE CAR, BUT NOT WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS. I COULD HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES, AS THERE WAS NO INDICATION THAT THE LIGHTS WERE NOT WORKING. *TR

2011 BUICK REGAL
PURCHASED CAR IN SUMMER OF 2011. DURING THE FIRST COLD WEATHER CAR WOULD GIVE A WARNING TO SERVICE STABILITI TRAC AND THAT THE ENGINE POWER HAD BEEN REDUCED. I DECIDED TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE VEHICLE AND IT WOULD RESET THE COMPUTER AND THE WARNING LIGHTS WOULD TURN OFF. I TOOK THIS TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I STARTED TO LET THE CAR WARM UP IN THE WINTER AND THIS SEEMED TO HELP UNTIL RECENTLY. WITHIN THE LAST FEW WEEKS I HAVE BEEN HAVING SIMILAR PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER LETTING THE CAR WARM UP. THE CAR WILL AUTOMATICALLY REDUCE ENGINE POWER EVEN WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. AFTER THESE INCIDENTS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON BUT WILL GO OFF AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTING. I HAVE CONTACTED ONSTAR AND THEY TELL ME THE SAME THING THAT THE WARNING LIGHTS DO. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH THE CAR TRYING TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN WHILE AT A STOPLIGHT. AFTER GOING TO THE DEALER AND HAVING THEM NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM OR TRY TO REPAIR IT AND NOT FIX THE ISSUES, I FEEL AT A LOSS OF WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT. I DO NOT HAVE THE TIME OR MONEY TO KEEP GOING TO THE DEALER ONLY TO LEAVE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. I WOULD THINK THAT THE MANUFACTURER WOULD BE MORE INCLINED TO FIX THESE ISSUE BEFORE PEOPLE ARE INJURED OR ANY FATALITIES OCCUR DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE. I FEEL THAT AFTER READING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE'S SIMILAR ISSUES THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD CALL FOR A RECALL. *TR
