Transmission was under recall order (5/99) for "transmission shift lever sequence"; work was completed by alhambra Buick on 7/12/99. While driving on Friday, 7/23/99, car surged forward and accelerated. I tried to apply brakes but they did not work. I moved to the right lane to avoid hitting car in front of me, but could not get car to slow down as I approached an intersection, but in process hit the car in front of me. I eventually crossed interesection and ran car alongside curb to try to slow down, but car continued to surge and accelerate, and brakes would not work. I was finally able to slow car enough to shift it into park and stop car. Car was towed to alhambra Buick to be checked out with full explanation of what happened, however, they were insistent to have car towed onto auto body shop for repairs, rather than find source of problem. After many discussions with dealership, Buick division of GM and their products allegations resolution office in detroit, I received a phone call from brian birkey this morning (8/16/99 a.M.) of this same office, stating that Buick's engineers could find nothing wrong with the car and his findings were being given to GM. At this point, they would expect me to have my insurance pay for my auto body damage and remedy the driver which my car hit. I do not want this car returned to me, given my experience and their finding that the car checked out okay without any identification or acknowledgement of a mechanical problem. I have no confidence in this car or their failure to find the cause of the problems; further, I did not pay $30,000 for a new Buick to become their next crash test dummie. I strongly feel that they should replace my Buick with another new car or refund my money. If they feel such confidence in their inspection, then they can sell the car as a used car on their lot.
