We have a 2000 Buick Century, the transmission shift solenoid valve went bad at 54,000 miles. It had to be replaced at a GM dealership. Now the car has 71,000 miles on it and the problem has returned. The computer shows the same code P1811, cannot believe that this problem should come back in less than 20,000 miles. GM or Buick needs to recall.
I took and found the number for the National Safety Transportation Board, the toll free number is
1-888-327-4235 and reported our problem.
Everyone is going to have to call this number and report their problem. If you have had the car repaired, have your repair bill to give them the information. They will ask you what it cost, where it was done, your name and address and phone number and the name and address of the repair shop. Also the name of the place where you bought the vehicle, how many miles you have on it and the VIN number.
The part number for the solenoid valve is 10478146.
If everyone calls and reports this problem, GM will be forces into a recall. If you have already had your vehicle fixed, GM will have to refund you the repair cost, whether it was done by a GM dealer or a private garage.
I called the gm dealer we bought the car from &said it is doing it again they said to just kept driving it and maybe it will go away!!! Everyone needs to call 1-888-327 - 4235 & report the problem!!!
