One problem related to vehicle speed control has been reported for the 1999 Buick Park Avenue. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
I was traveling northbound on us 495 in second lane from right getting ready to exit to route 7 and travel west towards leesburg when suddenly the car accelerated uncontrollably. The engine was racing. I tried everything to avoid other traffic and stop or slow down the car while turning the auto to the adjacent lane. This includes shifting the automatic transmission to neutral and park, applying brakes, applying emergency brakes and finally shutting off the engine. The auto moved to the right lane and finally came to a stop with little control of steering. I waited for a few minutes and started the engine again and shifted into first gear to get away from traffic. Auto started up again but engine no longer raced. I shifted into third and was able to make it home safely about 6 miles away in a normal manner. Its been a great car, and this has never happened before.
