While driving at 60 MPH and without warning the engine stalled on the highway. The consumer pulled over to the shoulder and five minutes later the vehicle was able to start. The vehicle has been to two different dealers who could not find the problem. *mr *sc
2001 Buick Park Avenue engine complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle shifts hard in gear after the initial start up. Consumer had the vehicle towed and checked at the parent company. The transmission went through several tests but the problem could not be duplicated. Since that time, the solenoid and transmission have been replaced. One week later the transmission failed and had to be completely rebuilt. Again, while driving, the vehicle made two hard jerks and would barely move. When putting vehicle in reverse it will hit hard twice and go backwards, when putting it in forward gear it will take off slowly. After traveling for a while, the check engine light illuminates and the cruise control will not work once the light has illuminated, if the vehicle is shut off for an hour or so, the problem will rectify itself until the vehicle is drivin 15-20 miles, then the same process occurs all over.
While driving 65 MPH engine stalled, lost all power. Once vehicle was started again it idled roughly and would only stay running with foot on the accelerator pedal. Took vehicle to dealer, and had it repaired. *ak
