This vehicle has had issues since purchased with brakes and power steering I contacted buick and the dealer where vehicle was purchased and as of 9/8/2014 the brakes were the only ones fixed but power steering still and issue I have contacted buick four times since march and they still have not done anything to help me and fix this problem they are claiming that it is a workmanship issue and not a manufacturer issue based on vehicle history this vehicle is very clean and no accidents but I am starting to doubt that because power steering gets hard at about 15 to 35 miles and also at 45 to 55 when exiting a highway bramp very dangerous vehicle to drive around I would not recommend buick enclaves to anyone because buick or dealers give you the run around when you let them know about issue...

Rear brakes over heated. An inspection revealed that the brake pads were frozen due to rust and worn at an angle and not even causing metal to metal contact. Rear pads and rotors had to be replaced at a cost of $ 347.62. If this had been caught during normal inspection intervals I don't believe the rotors would have had to be replaced.perhaps inspection and cleaning of brake pads should be checked at certain intervals in the northern areas where snow and ice are a problem. Note this happened upon return home from last scheduled maintenance. I had to make a new appointment to have my brakes checked, a distance of about 30 miles.

I have noticed that my brake lights do not come on unless the key is in the ignition and toward the run position. I went to my dealer and was told that is how they are made now. I guess I am wondering why and also if this is true. The service writer did take my to another enclave and it is just like mine--the brake light does not go on if the key in not in the run position.
