So we took the car to our local GMC dealer and they changed the oil (for which I paid – it was due one anyway) then they said we should drive it for 1000 miles and bring it back to check the oil levels. We drove it 300 miles and my husband (at my request cause I was worried) checked the oil level and it was good – we drove 200 additional miles and the ‘stop engine oil level low’ message came on. We were at an intersection so when the light changed we pulled into the nearest parking lot (about 500 ft.) and parked the car, turned it off and my husband checked the oil – there was NO OIL on the dip stick – so we did not want to mess up the test by adding oil (and we were not sure adding oil would be helpful if there were engine damage) so we had the car towed to the dealership – this was yesterday (Sunday) so I called this AM and they said they had received my phone mail that I left and would check the car and top it off (TOP IT OFF!!!!). I am waiting for them to check the car and see what we need to do but I do not trust the car to go 1000 miles again nor do I want to be stranded for another 3 hours waiting for a tow truck and my daughter-in-law to come get us – Not sure how much leverage I have but I would think this was an EPIC FAIL!

My timing chain is making a bad noise, air compressor is going out and bad start up noise when car is cold or has sat for about 5 to 10
Min. 2011 regal, only 75K miles. Was told no warranty. Would have to pay 1000 for compressor and didn’t get a quote for timingchain. Was told motor would have to be pulled. Any help or advise would
Be great

I’m like everyone else. Burning oil and pistons need to be replaced. 81,000 mikes. Called Buick and they could care less even though it’s a known problem. Will certainly be my last Buick.

In reply to Adel.

Call the Chevrolet national phone number or Go a different dealer if you can’t get them to understand it is an extended warranty. It is not a recall.
