I was driving on a 70mph highway. Went to pass slower vehicle. The car did not react to the accelerator. In fact it slowed down with the engine trying to rev up. Luckily, there were no other vehicles trying to pass at the same time because I had to drop back. Car is currently at a Buick dealership for engine propulsion repair. Do not have complete estimate for repair yet. Was told could be approx $2300. One year earlier, at 50000 miles had similar acceleration problems because of catalyst converter. The catalyst converter was replaced under warranty.
