AFTER STOPPING ON A HILL WITH THE TRANSMISSION IN 'D', AS SOON AS I TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE, THE CAR STARTED ROLLING BACK. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND AND YOU COME TO A STOP ON A HILL AND THEN NEED TO GO. *NLM THE DEALER REPLACED THE TORQUE CONVERTER BUT THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM.

IT WAS A WINDY DAY AND THE DOOR WENT TOO FAR BENDING THE HINGES AND CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE FRONTAL BODY PART OF THE VEHICLE. APPARENTLY, THE DOORS HAVE NO DOOR BRAKE AND THEREFORE, THIS TYPE OF DAMAGE COULD EASILY OCCUR. (SEE WWW.BUICK.8K.COM) THE DEALER WAS ALL TOO FAMILIAR WITH THE PHENOMENA.
