2005 Buick Lacrosse transmission failed at 81,000 miles- took car to dealership before extended warranty expired with the hard shifting problem before the transmission went out they stated it wasn't the transmission- transmission had to be rebuilt at my cost $2,500. Per google search this has been a common problem other owners of the same car have had.

At times, car will not accelerate. When attempting to increase speed, usually when accelerating into high speed, the car does nothing for a few seconds, then it begins to buck, still with no speed acceleration. It has lasted from a few seconds to 10 minutes. It only happens periodically, and no trouble lights appear on the dashboard.

Car looses power while trying to accelerate. Have almost been rear ended on a couple of occasions. Once while on I-95 in Georgia, a semi-truck almost rear ended the vehicle. The dealership says it cannot duplicate the problem even though they say it could be the wireless accelerator they will not replace it unless they can personally duplicate the problem.

The vehicle had a hesitation upon acceleration between 40 and 60 mph. Also noise was coming from the engine. Especially on a cold start. Brakes were pulsating.

: the consumer stated while driving the vehicle surged. It was taken to an independent repair shop. The mechanic determined it was the transmission. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, were a diagnostic test was performed and no codes were found. While turning right there was a clicking noise in the front end.
