Transmission bucks when in acceleration on a hill---bucking is severe--call to your attention because others in area have exactly same problem---I fear transmission will become noticeably worse as problem continues.
1998 Pontiac Bonneville transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 13 of 13, newest first, as owners wrote them.
When the vehicle is stopped on a slight uphill incline it will roll backwards when the brake pedal is released, and before the throttle is depressed. This was reported to the servicing dealer (jackson pontiac, macon, ga.) I was told that this was normal for this or similar vehicles. I have never owned a vehicle with an automatic transmission that would not hold itself in this or similar situations. I believe that this is a safety defect and should be remedied by the manufacturer. The potential for an accident is great. I have documentation of their report if you need it. Thank you.
Steering wheel frozen and gear selector locked up due to "torque lock" which is a design feature in the transaxle assembly, this happened on several occasions.
