2011 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 220hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 86800 mi C $5500 |
High speed transmission sensor failed. Since that transmission was only used in 2011 in the Regal, and this car arrived in Calgary from the Opel factory in Germany, that’s where the part had to come from. No codes came up when it first failed, so it was kitted and put back in. After 200km it failed again with the code. Sat for 2 months the second time until the part came in and it was replaced. So the first repair was unsuccessful, but the second one was. |
| 101000 mi | Brought car in for 100K mi. transmission fluid and filter change. Waited a half hour then service writer told me this car is an early 2011 and has a nonremovable filter, the special transmission fluid costs $400 for 8 quarts plus labor; but they do not recommend changing the transmission fluid EVER. They said when the transmission starts slipping, it's time to get rid of the car. I took their advice. |
