Consumer Description

2000 BUICK CENTURY TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY HARD CAUSING VEHICLE TO LURCH. INTERMITTENT PROBLEM. AFTER CHECKING ONLINE MESSAGE BOARDS FOUND THAT THIS IS A FAIRLY COMMON PROBLEM IN 2000 BUICK MODELS, AND THAT GM HAS REFUSED TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OR OFFER A RESOLUTION OUT OF POCKET COST OF GETTING A TRANSMISSION VALVE AND SOLENOID REPAIRED IS ABOUT $600. THESE ISSUES ARE POPPING UP ANYWHERE BETWEEN 30K AND 80K MILES, AND THESE PARTS ARE PARTS THAT SHOULD LAST THE LIFE OF THE CAR AND NEVER BE REPLACED. ONGOING PROBLEM. *TR
