2016 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan

Speed sensor shown as defective during scan. Replaced the sensor but reading remained as defective. Replaced front left hub and this resolved the issue. |
| 60760 mi C $150 |
Replaced front wheel bearing hub. Extremely difficult removing original. The steel hub against the corroded alloy steering knuckle seating took three of the four hours to unseat. Would not do this job on axle stands again. Really needed to be done on hoist. |
2015 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 259hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 81875 mi US $225 |
Suspension Service Light was recurring on Dash. Ended up being diagnosed as a TSB computer malfunction due to item plugged into OBD port. Dealer reset computer, and said not to put anything in port. Since this impacts even the ones used by insurance companies, I think it is a defect in the system. |

182-horsepower 2.4L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 116000 mi US $1000 |

| 67000 mi US $300 |
Rear wheel bearing replaced; 2nd wheel bearing which had to be replaced. |
| 50000 mi | Intermittent clunk noise when turning. It was difficult to diagnose - multiple trips to dealership. Finally, determined that noise was caused by faulty/failed king pin bushing. Replaced under warranty, problem fixed. |

| 41000 mi | Repair bad wheel bearing in rear passenger wheel. Under warranty, no charge. |

2012 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD
| 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. |
| 31100 mi | Tie-rod went bad, was replaced. |
| 38000 mi US $500 |
Right rear bearing replaced |
2012 Buick Regal 4dr Sedan
turbocharged 270hp 2.0L I4 6-speed manual FWD
| 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. |
