Engine used oil with no smoke or leaks. Had to change oil every 2300 miles. Motor went bad do to no oil even after oil change.

The contact owns a 2012 Buick Regal. The contact stated that the vehicle would not immediately start-up, and while at a stop light the entire vehicle would shake and vibrate. The cause of the failure was not determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were notified of the failure. The VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 20v764000 (suspension) however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The contact indicated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The failure mileage was 72,000. Parts distribution disconnect.

Timing belt and engine stopped working. Mechanic says needs engine replaced.

No warning and approximately 80,000 miles -the timing needs replaced. Mechanics state this is common with this model and they recommend a new engine replace the original engine. This car has under 100,000 miles on it. The cost of the repair is out of my means. The car is paid off, however, I cannot afford the repair. Is there anything that can be done?.

Vehicle was traveling at approximately 35 mph on a city street when a "pop" noise was heard, immediately followed by the car shutting down. There was no warning or system error lights on and none turned on. There was no power or brakes available in the vehicle. Upon attempting to coast vehicle off the road to a safe area, 2 people driving by yelled to get out, as there were flames coming out of the undercarriage. The entire front of the car including the engine engulfed in flames. Area firefighters were called to extinguish the fire. Total loss of vehicle. Additionally, this vehicle is equipped with on star services and a monthly report is received showing any issues or concerns with the vehicle. Upon receiving the report on July 27, 2019 there were no issues reported expect a low tire pressure.

I got a 2012 Buick Regal I brought it July 2018 my car was died out of nowhere about 5 months prior list and then after I changed my oil my car didn't go anymore it sounded like a chain the first night after they change the oil and then the next day I drove it for 2 hours I don't know if the timing is off or what.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Buick Regal. While driving approximately 45 mph, the engine indicator illuminated and "reduce speed" was displayed on the instrument panel. The contact stated that the vehicle decelerated to 20 mph and would not accelerate beyond that speed. The contact was able to drive the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was determined that the timing chain and the sensor rods were faulty. A dealer was not made aware of the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to NHTSA. The contact was provided with case number: 8-4544663121 by the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 121,000.

Car giving a code of electrical control module gcm . L have the code p 0062.

Timing chain stretched and ruined the engine.

The car had no electrical power. Anything electrical wouldn't work. We couldn't remove the ignition key, put windows or anything. The second time I tried to use the vehicles self jump start but nothing would work. There was absolutely no power in this car at this time. My wife said at on different occasions she did smell a burning odor. We also had the digital speedometer stop working. It started working again after the car was shut off and restarted. We feel we are driving a firebomb waiting to happen and do not want anything to do with this car anymore. Currently its at a gm dealer and they are trying to figure out whats wrong with this car. Best part is the dealers don't want this car back as evidenced by the low trade in value that was offered.
