Description of the problem	Driving on a freeway speed posted 80mph, 2009 buick enclave rpm's began to shoot from 2000 rpm to 5000rpm when pushing on accelerator. Forward movement continued for short distance at 2000 rpm. Traffic was merging to one left lane for construction on a bridge. Pulled off to the right and stopped. Before entering one lane of traffic over bridge. After putting car in park, i tried to move forward in drive and then reverse. The transmission was completely gone. If i had entered that bridge with traffic pushed into one lane it could have been a disaster. Cars were entering that bridge at at least 70 mph. I feel this is a very dangerous situation and see that gm has extended the warranty on these vehicle transmissions to 120,000 miles. I have owned the car since 30 ,000 miles and have been the only driver. I am 68 years old and have never towed anything with it. I baby a car. This part failure is very dangerous. If i had not pulled off, i would have put myself and many other motorists in danger.
