Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
When the driver seat is moved the service air bag light comes on. When you move the seat again the light goes off.
The contact owns a 2010 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly shut off. The contact stated that the ECM warning light had remained illuminated. Additionally, there was a burning odor inside the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the local mechanic who discovered water and mold under the carpet and electrical components submerged in the water. The cause of the failure was not yet determined, and the vehicle was not yet repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 144,000.
The power steering has issues when turning it seems to not work. Been have this problem for about a year. I’ve talked to other Buick owners and they have the same problem. I also have electrical issues on the drivers side door panel, where none of the switches work. Just all of a sudden quit.
The car shut off while I was driving it, I was starting to go from sitting at a red light and it just shut itself off! I've just purchased this car and already it's a hunk of junk. Also the amount of electrical problems caused by water entering the motor compartment is ridiculous and should be a recall as it's just a bad design. The AC fan motor located above the passenger floor fills with water and ruins the motor. The car shut off today because of shoddy soldering.
11 months after I bought my buick the engine went out the dealer said it was nothing to do with me the replacement used all my warranty. And there has been one after another problem. My steering wheel locks during turns almost had some real serious finder benders. It's throwing p420 code for bank 2 and now have no sound at all everything works but no blinkers, hazard, seatbelt, backup warning sounds at all with no radio .
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 buick enclave. The contact stated that while operating the vehicle, the audible warning chimes and turn signal clicking sound where not present due a malfunction in the audio amplifier. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer ballas buick(5715 west central ave, toledo oh.) who diagnosed that an electrical shortage to the audio amplifier had occurred due to the water leaking into the panels of the vehicle and behind the fire wall. The cause of the failure was not determined. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 168,000.
Water is getting to the electrical components of the amplifiers (bose system) and shorting them out. That means there is no sound what so ever inside the vehicle. No blinkers, hazards, radio or if the engine light comes on you won't hear it, only a visible icon. This is an issue not only in the enclave, but the acadia as well as the saturn outlook. This should have been a recall a long time ago. I refuse to pay for this when it's an issue across the board.
Driving down the road at different speeds and conditions door locked go up and down, gauges go crazy, transmission down shifts, engine doesn't die, pull over and everything is fine until it happens again
Hvac temperature does not work on passenger side; right side temperature mode door actuator has failed. This is the second time it has happened. 2013 and now 2018.
