I hear you on the weather. It almost makes me anticipate fall colors. In regards to your Regal, I would suggest having the dealership look at your Regal. I can look further into this and get an appointment made for you if you would like. Please reply via private message and include your VIN#, name, concern, and preferred dealer. I hope this gets taken care of quickly for you. Please keep us updated if you any further concerns.We have had extreme hot weather and those days that were in the 100's, a screeching belt noise is heard when the car is accelerating. I noticed this only happens when the A/C is on. Would this be the serpentine belt? ..and why is this happening, car is 2011 Regal!
bbronner413,Just an FYI, I am actually getting the same repair done at my local dealer today....They have to replace the Serpentine Belt and Tensioner and I only have 19,500 miles on my Regal. I was having a screeching in the belts upon acceleration just as you have stated.
Not a problem,William/Customer Service Team,
Thank you for the reply, it is well noted as I may contact you soon regarding a recent dealer service related issue I just had....In the meantime, this may be appropriate for a different post, but has any fellow owner had a recall on their 2011 Regal for the A/C Fans? I have the service bulletin # at home, but bottom line is there was a "fuse block" missing and it was causing only ONE A/C fan to operate on HIGH, not both. There was no intermediate, it was either both fans on low speed as the A/C started up or one fan on high speed in normal operation or high heat causing a very loud, hyperspeed/overworked sounding fan. I brought this to the attention of my dealer and got a dismissive answer of "Cadillac and Buick's only operate on one fan when the A/C is on". I told them there was NO way that a brand new car should sound like an airplane about to take off (exaggerated but embarrassingly loud none-the-less). I was sent on my way as expected told everything was fine, but questioning their answer I received and still did not accept it fearing damage was being done as the fan sounded obviously overworked. Come to find out on my NEXT oil change, they looked in their system and said there was a bulletin regarding the A/C Fans about how only one operated in high speed, and needed to be serviced immediately as it was putting extra strain on the Turbo, etc... just as I brought up to them only to be assured this was normal. The dealer completed the service and it was appreciated, but disappointing to drive around with a defective cooling system unless I stuck by guns and insisted they looked further....any input or similar experiences from other Regal owners here?
I too had an issue with my A/C. The dealer said there was a fix and since then I have not had the issue again. Its only been just under 2 weeks though.

Did you ever have this fixed? I just bought my 2012 premium used with only 18,000 miles on it. It has the same issue.Looks like my 2012 Regal Turbo Premium 1 is starting to experience this at 12,000 miles. I have had at least four instances recently when I first back out of my parking spot in the morning where I here a high-pitched belt squeal and can feel some associated wobbling/vibrating coming into the cabin. It disappears after going into drive. I was going to wait until June to do it with the oil change/ state inspection but may make the appointment sooner. It only happens after the car is completely cold going into Reverse the first time. Weird.
