There are many complaints on the internet regarding this same premature failure.

While breaking aggressively during heavy rain, rainwater poured from the passenger side headliner onto the dash. Rainwater has been leaking into the car for the past several weeks. This issue was apparently repaired three (3) prior times in 2008, but has reoccurred. General motors has only offered me one free hour of diagnosis time. This is a major safety issue regarding driver visibility, distracting the driver and could effect multiple electrical systems in the vehicles dash due to the introduction of rainwater. The second issue is the vehicle's transmission is failing. Transmission loses power while shifting from 3rd to 4th gear, then abruptly jerks into gear. The car has less than 64,000 miles.

The timing chain in the engine of this vehicle began to slip at 85,000 miles. This caused the vehicle to drive erratically when the chain slipped.

While accelerating from a stop through an intersection, the transmission failed and the vehicle coasted to a stop blocking traffic. After turning the key off and then starting the car, my wife was able to get the car to move at a crawl 15ft at a time. After doing this several times she was able to park the car safely off of the road. We had the vehicle towed to the gm dealership and they diagnosed the problem as a r, 3,5 wave plate failure. The dealership has recommended a new transmission at a cost of $4,400. After some research I have found this to be a common problem with the 6t75 transmission across the entire gm line of vehicles manufactured in late 2007. There is a service bulletin (09-07-30-012b) that addresses this, but no recalls yet.

I was driving home from work and slowed down to avoid an accident in front of me. When I accelerated, the car would not go faster than 40 mph. I pulled over to check vehicle and everything seemed fine. I restarted car and could not go faster than 20 mph. I went to local gm dealer and was told the transmission had failed. Reverse, 3rd and 5th gears were gone. I limped the vehicle home and am now looking at $3-5000 worth of repairs on a high end, well maintained vehicle with only 112,000 miles. I am very upset with customer service at general motors and with the quality of this overpriced lemon!.

Transmission failed while driving. Driving home, stopped at a red light, when the light turned green the car wouldn't move. Engine was on and would rev, transmission was in drive, but car didn't go. Turned off car for a couple minutes, turned back on, car started. Tried to drive home, but at about 20 mph all power to the wheels failed and we coasted to a stop. Car had to be towed to dealer, $5000 repair bill, 10 months out of warranty. The worst part was that there was no warning about the failure. It was going fine, and then suddenly we had no power to the wheels. Fortunately we were going slowly and no one was injured, but if this happened at freeway speeds it could be a major accident. In doing some searching, it seems that many people are having the exact same issue in cars built around 2h 2007. Buick needs to address this before someone is injured or killed.
