Transmission Gear Slipping Problems of Buick Enclave

Tl-the contact owns a 2009 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving at 50 mph, the vehicle started to jerk, gears are slipping, the rpm gauge went up and was failing to accelerated. The check engine warning light illuminated. The contact coasted to the side of the road and powered off the engine. The vehicle was restarted but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the transmission failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 100,000. Aw.

The transmission is slipping and failing to shift into the next gear on acceleration. The problem is intermittent and has been progressively getting worse over the last 7 months. Now it is at the dealer and they won't cover the repair because the warranty expired 2 months ago. The exact same thing happened to my prior Buick Enclave which I traded in (because of this problem) when I purchased my current vehicle.

When driving on highway between 70 and 75 mph the transmission starts slipping and rpm jumps up to 4500. Also encounter the same problem on local street driving between 30 and 40 mph, transmission starts slipping and rpm races from about 1500 to 2800. Took the vehicle to local Buick dealer. They stated there is recall on the transmission for that year but not this particular VIN. This is dangerous as the loss in power almost resulted in me being rear ended a couple of times.

Transmission slippage. Expect wave plate or similar issue. Fortunately will be able to drive in for service. Contacted Buick to see if they will assist with repairs as this seems to be a common issue.

About 3 weeks prior I noticed very subtle clunk when changing gears. Than out of no were the car started slipping gears at around 40mph. The engine would rev high rpm but it wouldn't kick into 5th gear. Only did the it once. Within 1 day it slipped every time 5th gear was engaging, within 2 day of that 3rd gear was slipping every time. Brought it to aamco and was informed of a r/3/5 wave plate clutch disc TSB with this model transmission. Transmission needs a rebuilt to the tune of $2000-2500. Pathetic that a $45k vehicle cant even make to 100k miles. Who says china makes all the crap? gm must employee the chinese.

Driving down the road and the vehicle starts revving. Transmissions slips and then hoes out. Vehicle would not move.

When accelerating to enter a highway, the transmission seems to slip. The gas pedal drops to the floor and the engine loses all power. On several occasions the accelerator has stuck and the car accelerates or the rpms increase while I am braking. These issues have been happening intermittently and have been happening since 29,000. Car now has 69,000 miles.
