2017 Buick Regal Owner Comments

Regal Turbo 2.0L 4

Bought the car used, and of course, after the short warranty, this started happening.

1st to 2nd gear mostly but also happened at HWY speeds recently when accelerating.

The engine will pause like it wants to change gears and then slams into gear with a hard jolt as if you hit a deep pothole. Took it to the Buick Dealer and the hooked it up to their machine… and NOTHING is wrong with it and NO programming updates were done. Then the car drove reasonably well for a month until I took a long trip and then it started acting up again… If the Buick Dealer can’t find the issue then who can?
