Transmission was making winding noise as shifting through the gears. Dealer said it needed a new transmission. Dealer will pay for parts, but consumer was responsible for labor which could be around $700.
Tranmission was replaced while car under warranty w/remanufactured transmission which is now needing to be replaced...dealership did not advise it was being replaced w/remanufac. Part. Contacted Buick only to be advised car was not under warranty and they could not help. Steering/rack & penion: Steering locks, pops, etc when driving...I don't have much info on this right now as we are having checked by mechanic now. Have been advised that this appears to be the problem. We have had numerous other "non life threatening" problems w/this car and are very disheartened as the car is only 3 1/2 years old.
While vehicle was on a medium incline, ignition on and the shift indicator in the drive position, driver took foot off brake pedal and vehicle drifted backwards down incline until driver applied the brakes again. Also, when driver is going forward on anincline with transmission is in reverse, vehicle rolls forward. When taking vehicle to dealer, he stated that it was just a characteristic of vehicle.
