Tl*the contact owns a 2004 buick lesabre. While driving 20 MPH the transmission locked. The front wheel of the vehicle and the transmission casing broke in half. The transmission had began to slip prior to the failure. The dealer had previously adjusted the computer on the vehicle; yet that did not correct the failure. The dealer stated this the failure was caused by the mileage on the vehicle. The contact stated that the design of the transmission had caused the failure to occur. The failure and current mileages were 118000.

I was driving back home from a friends house and had the car parked in my drive way and it was left running and it was in park then I went out to leave and the car was running for about 3 min sitting there and I put it into reverse and it would not move no matter what so I tried all the gears it wouldn't work so I shut off the car let it sit for about 5 min and started it up then put it into reverse again and it did then I drove about 50-100 ft and it felt like it was slipping and then just the other day I went out to start it and it was still in park and it sounds like a powersteering pump with no fluid and it sounds like a big nest of bees and I checked the fluid level and the fluid was burnt and there was debris in the fluid so the car don't work. So my family had to go buy a new car when we are broke and now I have no way to get to work. There was nothing done to resolve the failure yet im going to go buy a new transmission.
