2007 Buick Park Ave Transmission Whine

My Park Ave will occasionally (frequency increasing) develop a whining noise
that I am guessing is coming from the transmission. It increases when I
accelerate, or as the cruise control accelerates as in going up grades. When
the car is in this whining mode, there is a very loud clunk as the
transmission shifts gears. If you turn the car off for and then restart,
often the noise is gone and the clunking when shifting is also gone.
Anyone ever experienced similar problems or have an opinion on what my
problem might be?

Possible the PWM solenoid is stuck in the high pressure position causing the
noise and hard shifts, have the dealer scan for trans codes and solenoid
functions.

It's a 2007 - no warranty left on that car?

I've got a 2000 Century that's been doing it for years.
I would have thought GM had fixed it by now.

>From the Service Bulletin,

Section: 07 - Transmission/Transaxle
Bulletin No.: 0O-07-30-002B
Date: July, 2002

Subject:
Slips, Harsh Upshift or Garage Shifts, Launch Shudders, Flares,

Models:
1997-1999 Buick Riviera
1997-2002 Buick Park Avenue
1998-2002 Buick LeSabre
1999-2002 Buick Regal
2000-2002 Buick Century

1999-2002 Pontiac Transport/Montana
2001-2002 Pontiac Aztek
with Hydra-Matic 4T65-E (RPOs MN3, MN7, M15, M76)

Condition:
Some owners of the above vehicles with a HydraMatic 4T65-E transaxle
may comment on harsh upshifts or harsh garage shifts, soft shifts,
shudders on hard acceleration, or shifts erratic. These conditions may
appear intermittently or set a DTC P1811 or P0748. During diagnosis, a
low or high line pressure (actual versus desired) may be observed.

Cause:
The above condition may be due to any one of the following which may
affect line pressure output:

Sediment inside the pressure control (PC) solenoid valve, causing the
PC solenoid valve to mechanically bind.
Sediment in the valve body, causing the torque signal regulator valve
to stick.
Incorrect transaxle oil level.

Appreciate the replies- however my mistake in the original post -- It's a
2001 Park Avenue- NOT a 2007

   Glad you told us--drove 'em & loved 'em for years & was beginning to
think Buick dealers had been lying to me.  s

2005 was the last year for the (in USA) Park Avenue. It continues to
sell in China, and is doing quite well.
