I brought this car in February 2014 and the car started cutting off while I was driving it in October 2014. I took it to the dealer and was told that because the check engine light was not on, they could not obtain a reading on the car. The mechanic told me that if the light comes back on for me to bring it back in because it would be under warranty until the car hits 33,000 miles. Well the car is now at 46,000 miles and the light came back on. I called the dealer and he asked me what seemed to trigger the light to come on. I explained to him that the light comes on and off when it wants to. He stated he needed to know what triggers the light to comes on so he can duplicate it to have the light comes on. In the meantime, my car is still cutting off while I'm driving.

I was in the need to remove my x-husband off the title for my previous vehicle and took a loan on this vehicle and the dealership that sold the vehicle to me of course took advantage of the situation and I got a high interest rate. I been noticing the problems with the engine stalling more times than I care to mention.

Just the other day I was driving and I couldn't turn into the street on my way home. The steering while locked on me and I noticed the whole car just shut off. I was scared to death I was going to hit an incoming vehicle on the same lane. Luckily for me (Thank you God), no one was on the street at that time. I was scared to death and I turned the ignition and re-started the car. It did start! The vehicle still stalls.

I will be going into the Buick dealer and they will have to check it out or I will leave it there for them to deal with... My credit due to divorce won't even noticed another bad hit, but my life and the life of my kids who ride with me its far more important than experiencing this issue again.

Again, same dealer, same response, because they can't "duplicate" the problem while they are diagnosing it, they haven't done anything about it. The engine looses power and stalls when you are driving thru traffic switching lanes. A car this "new" shouldn't have a problem like this at this stage.

My 2011 Buick Regal started running roughly. It kept stalling and still is as of today 03/11/2011.

Took to dealership because check engine light was on. I was told that a switch or plug had come loose. Dealership Rep Danny said it was fixed, but soon as I drove it a while, maybe within hours, the light came on again.
