The contact owns a 2010 Buick Lacrosse. The contact stated that while in traffic the park assist and the check engine light flashed on the instrument panel and the vehicle would not accelerate pass 9 mph. The contact drove onto the emergency lane and shut the vehicle off. The contact restarted the vehicle and it continued to travel at 9 mph; therefore, the contact towed the vehicle to a dealer. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who reprogrammed the tcm which caused the vehicle to slow down due to an engine malfunction.

The park assist and the check engine light illuminated again on the instrument panel and the vehicle towed to a dealer. The dealer was adjusting the selector cable when the complaint was file because it was too tight. The failure mileage was 13,000.
