I hate to state the obvious but you need to have the car checked out by a good independent transmission shop. It’s remotely possible it’s a linkage problem: [Buick Lucerne Automatic Transmission Problems](https://www.carproblemzoo.com/buick/lucerne/automatic-transmission-problems.php) But if your luck is anything like mine be prepared to buy a transmission.
