NHTSA Complaint #11062133 — 2011 BUICK REGAL

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.
