I have a 2011 Buick Regal CXL. At about 160K I had to get the engine rebuilt due to the timing chain teeth snapping and it caused a valve to get bent and it would not turn back on (No Warning Given). I also had to get the tranny changed out a month after I fixed the engine and now I am still having issues. It appears as if I lose power and the engine starts running rough when I take a sharp turn that requires me to turn the steering wheel at full tilt. It goes away as soon as I shut off the car and turn it back on - it does appear like these cars have issues with the power steering also. It's a beautiful car but when it gets up in mileage problems will occur. I have put in about 4k in repairs after it hit 160k.
First transmission issue in my entire life. Wife's daily driver, this car was never abused. One year over the 5yr/100K warranty got me zip in compensation.
