Three problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1997 Buick Regal. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Tranmission was replaced while car under warranty w/remanufactured transmission which is now needing to be replaced. . . Dealership did not advise it was being replaced w/remanufac. Part. Contacted Buick only to be advised car was not under warranty and they could not help. Steering/rack & penion: steering locks, pops, etc when driving . . . I don't have much info on this right now as we are having checked by mechanic now. Have been advised that this appears to be the problem. We have had numerous other "non life threatening" problems w/this car and are very disheartened as the car is only 3 1/2 years old.
