I filed a complaint on 13 september 2010 under odi id number : 10355399. I have recently learned, from the buick service representative at hennessey buick, that the mechanic took the transmission apart and what he found was that the 'reverse belt' fell off, disabling the vehicle. The service rep indicated that he had not heard of this happening before.
Today, while driving my 2010 buick lacrosse on atl highway 75 south, my car's transmission stopped working. I could not accelerate and had to coast off the freeway. The car stopped moving as I rolled into a driveway. It would not go any further. Also, when I first purchased the vehicle, the dealership repaired wiring from the transmission pump and replaced the defective pump because the steering was loose and sloppy, and everytime I made a left turn, the car made a loud noise. Also, the passenger side lock jammed and would not open.
Driving on expressway @ 60 MPH. Car engine, radio, working, suddenly no transmission. Pulled to shoulder, towed to buick dealer. Although nothing found was told to wait 10 minutes and restart if this happens again. Was also told this happened to one other person locally.
