Engine not specified
| 49000 mi | Loud noise caused by wheel bearing failure |
2012 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 31100 mi | Tie-rod went bad, was replaced. |
| 38000 mi US $500 |
Right rear bearing replaced |
| 1000 mi | On the way home from the picking the car up new, a steering wheel shimmy and slight pull became apparent. Took the car into the selling dealer two weeks later to have wheel balance and alignment completed. Was sent to a second dealer for balance/alignment issue who had more modern equipment. Alignment pull was resolved. Wheel imbalance was largely reduced but remains present at around 70mph. Have a ticket open with Buick for another trip. |

turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 71000 mi US $250 |
Also, took the car in due to the left rear wheel bearing that failed. |
| 42160 mi | Leaking power steering pump |
| 47802 mi | Rattling somewhere in the suspension; loud "click" when starting from standstill; shop "retorqued all bolts" but this did not fix fault. I had another shop diagnose the issue (noise from suspension) they said it was the rear transmission mount assembly. The shop replaced the rear transmission mount, but the noise migrated to the rear driver side wheel - loud clank when going over bumps in the road (e.g. street car tracks, manhole covers, etc.) Loud clank at rear drivers side wheel when going over bumps like streetcar tracks and sunken manhole covers, etc. They said it was because a clip holding the emergency brake cable was missing. They replaced the clip, but the noise still remains (loud "clank" in rear drivers side wheel when going over bumps in the road). I give up. |
| 61070 mi C $600 |
Needed to replace rear driver's side wheel bearing - was making a loud grinding sound. Inspection after replacement showed the bearing unit was difficult to rotate |
| 60600 mi US $100 |
Replaced RF and LR wheel bearings |
| 27000 mi | After the transmission repair t started making a loud, noticeable creaking noise from the front end that a third party diagnosed as a bad transmission strut and another bad strut mount. Caused by repair? Sold car. |
