U codes are communication codes . You won't be able to fix this , guaranteed . Your best bet would be to take it to a buick dealer .
The serial data circuit is the means by which the control modules in the vehicle communicate with each other. Once the scan tool is connected to the serial data circuit through the DLC, the scan tool can be used to monitor each module for diagnostic purposes and to check for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs). When the ignition switch is in RUN, each control module communicating on the serial data circuit sends a state of health (SOH) message to ensure that the control module is operating properly. When a control module stops communicating on the serial data circuit, for example if the module loses power or ground, the SOH message it normally sends on the serial data circuit disappears. Other control modules on the serial data circuit, which expect to receive that SOH message, detect its absence; those control modules in turn sets a DTC associated with the loss of SOH of the non-communicating control module. The DTC is unique to the control module which is not communicating, for example, when the inflatable restraint sensing and diagnostic module (SDM) SOH message disappears, several modules set DTC U1088. Note: a loss of serial data communications DTC does not represent a failure of the module that set it.

U0073 00
Control Module Communication Bus A Off
U0073 71
ECU HS Bus Off
U0073 72
ECU LS Bus Off

There are 2 different communication networks on this vehicle: The class 2 network and the GMLAN network. The class 2 serial data circuit is the low speed link, and the GMLAN serial data circuit is the high speed link. Modules that need real time communications are attached to the high speed network. The engine control module (ECM) is the gateway between the networks. The purpose of the gateway is to transfer information from one network to another.

SOURCE: hello, i have a 04

U0100 is usually a communication interruption between the PCM and the the wiring harness for the instrument cluster. Might have been caused by a spike in the electrical. I have an 04 6s. I get that same code sometimes when I connect my diagnostic scanner to the OBD2 input. Try disconnecting the negative terminal on the battery to reset the computer, disconnect it for atleast 30 minutes. You will have to re program your clock and radio presets but that usually corrects the problem

My 07 mazda6 as four codes u0101,u0155 u0121,u0073,u0100 and stuck in 3rd gear please help

You'll need to get a good auto electrician to look at this. The codes suggest a failed ECU, the brain reading all the engine sensors. If this fails, the car is unusable as the ECU won't let the vehicle work.
Codes read as:
U0073 - Control Module Communication Bus "A" Off
U0100 - Lost Communication With ECM/PCM "A"
U0101 - Lost Communication with TCM
U0121 - Lost Communication With Anti-Lock Brake System
(ABS) Control Module
U0155 - Lost Communication With Instrument Panel
Cluster (IPC) Control Module
I have very little experience with gearboxes so I can't really help with the 3rd gear problem.
