After owning the car for approximately 3 weeks I was comuting to NY from my residence in nh. The cars transmission was not responding well. I arrived near finchburg massachusettes when I decided to turn back home. Power and response were very inadequate.my wife called the dealership where I dropped off the car in exeter nh (not the selling dealer..but a Buick/GM dealership that they recommended to have check it out since it was still under the manufacturer warranty. After inspection and a full diagnosis by the certified GM mechanic, he informed me that the "transmission was toast". they made a full repair by replacing the existing transmission. They believed it would have been impossible to rebuild considering the nature of the problem. Further, my wife did a through check prior to making an offer to purchase the vehicle. We knew that this model vehicle has a history of transmission problems. However serveral Buick /GM certified shops indicated that very few of these newer vehicle have transmission failue. It would be like a 1 and 4million chance...well that is our luck. It happened to us.

When turning the steering wheel the wheel appears to click or knock. This begam shortly after I had the vehicle in to have the transmission repaired as it was shuddering after stopping and starting. I contacted the service people at the boise larry miller Buick place, where I had transmission fixed. I was told it was not serious and they would check it when I brought it in for service. But it concerns me, and I need to know if it is serious.
