We purchased this car (as is) for our grandson. On our way home from the dealer, as soon as the transmission warmed up (4-5 miles), the shifting was hard and jerking with a whine coming from the transmission. Took the car to a garage which found the computer code of p1811 and were told a complete rebuild would be necessary. Went online and discovered many others had complaints of the same nature. Would hope gm would come forward with reimbursement since its transmission in this model was incorrectly designed. The rebuilding garage owner even had to go to a special school to learn how to correct this problem in the Buick Century. After paying $1,757. 25 to queens transmission, inc. , in bradenton, FL (941-746-7480), the shifting is now normal.

I pulled into a parking space on a slight incline and was just releasing the brake pedal to move forward when the car lunged violently forward as if the gas pedal was to the floor. There was not enough time to do any thing expect a reflex to turn the wheel to avoid hitting the building head-on. The car scraped the side of the building only stopping when it hit a van. After the car stopped moving, I put it in park and turned off the iginition. The impact was not strong enough to deploy the air bags. My feet were not on the brake or gas when this occurred. My son-in-law went to your site to see if there was a record of this happening before and there was almost an exact description on a previous incident.
