The transmission in our 2011 Buick Regal failed after six years of ownership. We just got the transmission replaced a few weeks ago, and ever since, we’ve had this issue where the vehicle gets stuck in a lower gear. As we accelerate, the engine rev’s, but won’t kick into the higher gear. We’ve brought the vehicle into the dealership twice, and they haven’t been able to recreate the issue, but it’s already happened to us three times today.
 Transmission Issue')){kind=link}
Just put in neutral
coils or spark
I had a 2011 and had to get the transmission replaced, then the replacement failed. It had 90k miles
You can actually put the car in neutral and shutdown the engine and restarting it while still in neutral..that’s if you can’t come to a complete stop
My 2011 Buick regal is opposite, has no first or second gear but gets power in third and beyond smh
I also own a 2011 Regal but it only has 47000 right now so……. looking forward to this issue. Yikes!
2011 was a very bad year for GM.i own a 2011 cruze and that piece of American wholesome goodness has been a nightmare!!
2015 nissan pathfinder hybrid platinum does the same…i reset it the same.. .$10000 new transmission still does it …and the dealership must of not change the axle seal….so i leak fluid…wasn't leaking when I dropped it off….
I’ll sell my dick to get that car.
so what caused the problem with that transmission every time he hasn't stopped the car and started back up and reset it
2011 buick regal 2.4 – ecm box is to the left of your battery box. Hanging vertically.
I have no transmission problem But, my car was stalling and shutting off.. it was the ecm (engine control module a $6-700 dollar (new). Purchased my ecm at a wrecking yard for $65 buck. Afterwards took my car te get the new/old ecm reset… for a wopping $258.00
You need to replace the tcm (transmission control module)
I just bought my 2011 regal cash yesterday and it’s doing this today after oil change and everything. What should I do ???
Sadly my Buick is in the shop now for this same issue and until I was able to get it serviced I had to turn the car on and off
You in gear not regular drive you have to switch the gears
You can reset it by putting it into tricktronic by moving the shifter to the left
Ya you have to do jank with the gas or throw it in manual
Mine did this and it was because it detected a misfire from a burnt out spark plug
