Tl* the contact owns a 2008 buick enclave. While driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle intermittently rocked back and forth. The failure recurred several times. Also, when the vehicle was started, the air bag indicator illuminated and remained lit. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who inspected the vehicle and performed a tire rotation and balancing. Additionally, the contact stated that the sun roof leaked water when it rained. The dealer was contacted (sellers buick gmc, farmington hills, mi, 248‑579‑4892) and scheduled an appointment for a later date. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and stated that the warranty expired and there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 75,000.

This is a 1 owner vehicle, not driven long distances or on salted or rough terrain. In the last few months, I have had to replace both stabilizer bars, shocks, struts, and because the brakes were not put back on properly the brakes and rotors, and in 2011 the gear box had a leak which was replaced. Now after spending $4k in the last few months, I am being told the rack and pinion (which is the same as the gear box) is leaking again! I only have 74k miles on this car! I previously had a 1990 chevy suburban that never had these kinds of issues! And yet here alone I see over 80 issues for the power steering alone! Make gm recall this vehicle or I fully intend to start a class action lawsuit and include your organization as well for failure to protect the public!

Steering wheel squeaking and rubbing on something when turning? When I turn from side to side I can feel a slight drag and rubbing/squeaking noise. I was told it is the steering rack. I have been doing research and see complaints of this dating back to 2009. If they know there is a problem with this why have they not done a recall. The repair cost that was quoted is high over one thousand dollars. There is also the the service lights and stallig that resets itself on the buick enclave it happens when vehecil is sitting still the doors lock and unlock and the lights flash and the car engine makes a sound and the service engine light comes on. We have taken it in twice for this and it seems to reset itself because dealer does not find a problem.
