2019 Buick Enclave electrical complaints

Filed Jan 7, 2022 · Electrical, Transmission · GA · crash · 1 injury

On the morning of October 25, 2021 at approximately 7:05 am, I was fixing to leave to go to work. The carport light was on, so I open the door to my car, slid into the driver’s seat, started the car up and the lights came on. As I was starting to get out of the car to go turn the carport lights off, I realized the car was going backwards. I tried to get back into the driver’s seat to try to stop the car but I was unable to do so. The door knocked me down on the concrete floor of the carport and the front left tire ran over both my legs. The car continued to go backwards, the door hit the column between the carport bays but continued to travel backwards down our approx. 11-foot paved drive way, crossed the dirt road and stopped when the back of the car went into the deep ditch that runs along the dirt road at that point. When my husband arrived, the car was still running and the lights were on. The man driving the wrecker for the local EMA Director and my husband all looked at the gear shift and the car was in PARK.

After the vehicle is started, with the engine running, if a door is closed or opened/closed anything plugged into the aux outlet will short out and reset (I.e. Radar detector will reboot as if power supply was interrupted) and/or if the factory installed dvd players are powered on, they will turn off. Does not qualify under the lemon law because gm has been investigating a similar issue since 01/24/2019 with no current resolution or path forward. Gm advises dealers to attempt no repairs at this time and expect the consumer to "live" with a potential electrical short in the vehicle. Gm pit5653 explains a portion of the issue, but not all. Pit5653 applies to (10) different gm manufactured vehicles.
