Last nite, 9:30 pm we came out of publix parking lot doing an easy left. The engine shut off, all lights lit up on dash and center console lit up saying "lower driver window.." followed by "lower passenger window"!! We coasted to side of road, put it in park then it started and we got home. This morning, a easy right onto highway and locks opened and closed by themselves at about 30 MPH! During the hwy drive, at 75mph car stutters, engine whines then catches itself, all dash lights come on and the engine light blinks 3 times then goes out! What the he**.. Could have died!

Takata recall - my regal is 2011. I have not had any problems prior to this. My service stabilitrak ligh began coming on along with ABS light. I also explained the check engine light would come on after filling the tank and it reduced to 3/4 of tank. Last week all lights came in on car as I was parking. Took the car into to be serviced. The dealer completed a diagnosis advising I had a leak from my fuel pump. Needed new fuel pump, fuel injectors. For the ABS problem needed new bearings and sensors. I drove away for second opinion. The next day while driving slowed for a traffic light and pressed gas to take off the car would not accelerate. The engine was running. I had to turn car on and back off to get to move to the center of the road during rush hour. I sat there for a min. Was able crack and get to a safe place off the major road. I got a second opinion having the car towed to firestone. They also saw a fuel pump code and mentioned the timing chain. I had car towed to the dealer. They replaced the fuel pump on my way home on the interstate. I slowed for the exit and hit the gas. The car stalled again. I was afraid at that point. The dealer cannot tell me what the exact issue is with the car. It is still there for diagnostic now. They had to escalate and still no answer. They are using trial and error to resolve the issue which is a dangerous and expensive joke.

While I was driving all the dashboard lights want out completely, the car didn't stop running. I got home and tried to get into the car two hours later and the doors would not open with the remote,so I use the key to enter the car, close the door and the alarm want off and the doors locked, I pressed down on the break and push in on the start button, the panel lite up said that the remote dose not match the car, I tried several ways to open the car it didn't do anything I was locked in the car for 30 minutes, the sunroof window was open a little it was 88 degrees outside I had to kick the the sunroof window out to get out of the car. The car is now at ferguson brick in tulsa as of right now the car started, they haven't found anything wrong I believed there is something wrong if they drive the car and the lights don't black out or it start when they have they are going to send that car back home in the same condition, this is a very serous issue I could have dead in that car with no air.

While approaching an intersection at approximately 35 MPH my 2011 buick regal with less than 48,000 completely stalled out. No warning at all. All the lights were on in the dash including a stabili trac. Light and a message that read engine power reduced. I then blared my horn and cruised thru the intersection on a red light thankful it just turned red and opposing traffic hadn't started across yet. I was finally able to stop the car that had absolutely no power steering and ABS was turned off and shut the car off. I waited a few minutes until my nerves calmed down and restarted the car all the lights were off except the engine light. Drove the car home and called the dealership, who then had it towed to them. By that time the computer restarted itself and no check engine light was on, with that no reading as to what the problem was at the dealership and I was left being looked at as if I didn't know what I was talking about. This happened approximately 3 months ago and I have had the same problem a total of 3 times since then. When is buick going to step up to the plate and finally do something about this? Are they waiting for someone to be killed first? I've read this same problem with the same car numerous times on numerous sites...where is our help????

Car stalls while driving on the highway, tremendously dangerous to my family and other drivers. This happens without warning and no check engine lights, the car becomes completely unresponsive but all the lights are still on. This scenario is hazardous to the traveling public on all roadways!

Multiple indicator lights are coming on when nothing is wrong with the vehicle, gradual loss of battery charge. Then my vehicle will not start at all. Nothing wrong with the starter, battery is still good, the alternator is fine. My indicator console will not come back on when I try to turn the car back on, car will not start without a jump, but all the lights inside and outside of the vehicle are on. I have found that this model year has a recall already on it for this same issue id # 13v173000 - electrical system. Nothing else seems to be wrong with the vehicle. Not sure at this point if it is safe to drive.
