Consumer Description
WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT STALLED AND CUT OFF WHILE IN THE MIDST OF MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN. ALL POWER WAS ON TEMPORARILY BUT THE ENGINE WAS UNABLE TO TURN OVER AFTER CUTTING OUT. THE DEALERSHIP IS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE ISSUE, AND APPARENTLY THE ISSUE HAS OCCURRED BEFORE TO THE PREVIOUS OWNER. THE CAR IS STILL UNDER A 5 YEAR 100,000 POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. IT APPEARS NO PROPER DIAGNOSIS HAS OCCURRED AND THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN OCCURRING ON THE CAR SINCE APPROX. 52,000 MILES CURRENT MILLAGE IS 75,900. I HAVE REFERENCED PREVIOUS TSB NHTSA ID 10037218 TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE RECEIVED NO RESPONSE AS OF YET AS TO THE UNDERLYING ISSUE. I HAVE DISCOVERED OTHER OWNERS HAVING SIMILAR ISSUES ON WEBSITES SUCH AS CARCOMPLAINTS.COM AND VARIOUS BUICK REGAL FORUMS. THIS APPEARS TO ME AS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE AS WHEN THE CAR SHUTS OFF IT DOES NOT POWER BACK ON, AND IT CUTS SEEMINGLY RANDOMLY.
