NHTSA Complaint #10991178 — 2011 BUICK REGAL

TAKATA RECALL - MY REGAL IS 2011. I HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THIS. MY SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGH BEGAN COMING ON ALONG WITH ABS LIGHT. I ALSO EXPLAINED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WOULD COME ON AFTER FILLING THE TANK AND IT REDUCED TO 3/4 OF TANK. LAST WEEK ALL LIGHTS CAME IN ON CAR AS I WAS PARKING. TOOK THE CAR INTO TO BE SERVICED. THE DEALER COMPLETED A DIAGNOSIS ADVISING I HAD A LEAK FROM MY FUEL PUMP. NEEDED NEW FUEL PUMP, FUEL INJECTORS. FOR THE ABS PROBLEM NEEDED NEW BEARINGS AND SENSORS. I DROVE AWAY FOR SECOND OPINION. THE NEXT DAY WHILE DRIVING SLOWED FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND PRESSED GAS TO TAKE OFF THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. I HAD TO TURN CAR ON AND BACK OFF TO GET TO MOVE TO THE CENTER OF THE ROAD DURING RUSH HOUR. I SAT THERE FOR A MIN. WAS ABLE CRACK AND GET TO A SAFE PLACE OFF THE MAJOR ROAD. I GOT A SECOND OPINION HAVING THE CAR TOWED TO FIRESTONE. THEY ALSO SAW A FUEL PUMP CODE AND MENTIONED THE TIMING CHAIN. I HAD CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP ON MY WAY HOME ON THE INTERSTATE. I SLOWED FOR THE EXIT AND HIT THE GAS. THE CAR STALLED AGAIN. I WAS AFRAID AT THAT POINT. THE DEALER CANNOT TELL ME WHAT THE EXACT ISSUE IS WITH THE CAR. IT IS STILL THERE FOR DIAGNOSTIC NOW. THEY HAD TO ESCALATE AND STILL NO ANSWER. THEY ARE USING TRIAL AND ERROR TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WHICH IS A DANGEROUS AND EXPENSIVE JOKE.
