Consumer Description

THE VEHICLE IN QUESTION IS A 1999 BUICK REGAL LSE WITH 63,000 MILES. REGULAR MAINTENANCE HAS BEEN PERFORMED IN A TIMELY MANNER. WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT WITH THE CAR IN REVERSE AND FOOT LIGHTLY ON THE BRAKE, IT FELT AS THOUGH I HAD BUMPED INTO ANOTHER CAR OR THAT MY WHEEL HAD SLIPPED INTO A POT HOLE. UPON EXAMINATION, NOTHING WAS HIT BY THE BODY OF THE CAR OR THE WHEELS. THIS HAPPENED ONE TIME AND THEN ONE TIME A MONTH LATER. TWO DAYS AFTER THAT, THE INCIDENT REPEATED ITSELF, AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE IN REVERSE WHEN IDLING UNLESS I PRESSED ON THE GAS HARD. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A BUICK DEALERSHIP FOR DIAGNOSIS, I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED.*AK
