AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS WERE THE RESULT OF THE FAILED PUMP. GM IS DENYING COVERAGE OF THE ADDITIONAL REPAIRS UNDER WARRANTY.

I HAVE APPROXIMATELY 84,000 MILES ON MY VEHICLE AND MY "SERVICE AIRBAG" LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I SEE SEVERAL OTHERS ALSO FILED COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS SAME THING HAPPENING TO THEIR VEHICLES. WHY IS THIS NOT INCLUDED IN THE AIRBAG RECALLS WITH SO MANY PEOPLE FILING A COMPLAINT ON THIS?

ALTERNATOR FAILED CAUGHT FIRE, OVERCHARGED BATTERY, EXPLODED BATTERY

CYLINDER MISFIRING FOR MOST ENCLAVES 2, 5 6 . I HAVE AN 09 AND 2011 AND THEY BOTH HAVE THE SAME MISFIRING ISSUES AND L SEE IT WAS ONCE FIXED IN 08 BUT NOW ITS THE SAME ISSUE 2018

RACK AND PINION FAILURE AND LEAKING WHILE DRIVING

CAR RPM IS INCREASING AND LOWERING DURING DRIVING LIKE THE TRANMISSIO. IS PREPARING TO CHANGE GEARS CAUSING CAR TO LOSE POWER IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING SCARING ME DURING DRIVING. CAR IS IN MOTION

MY CAR MAKE MODEL VIN NUMBER IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SERVICE AIRBAG RECALL BUT I AM EXPERIENCING SERVICE AIR BAG ISSUE. I ONLY HAVE 37,677 MILES ON THE CAR! IN ADDITION, I JUST NEEDED A NEW AC COMPRESSOR AND COMPRESSOR CONDENSER HOSE.

WINDSHIELD DEFROST BLOWER DOES DOES NOT BLOW ONTO WINDSHIELD, IT BLOWS INTO THE VEHICLE CABIN. WINDOWS NOT DEFROSTING. STATIONARY OR MOVING, MAKES NO DIFFERENCE.

I WILL OPEN THE AUTOMATIC LIFT GATE ON THE BACK OF THE VEHICLE AND IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY COME DOWN. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MORE THAN ONE OCCASION AND HAS FALLEN ON ME.

THE FUEL MILEAGE READER IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY...SOMETIMES WHEN I GET GAS IT REGISTERS MORE MILEAGE THAN IT SHOULD. ...SUCH AS IT MAY BE ON EMPTY AND THE AMOUNT OF FUEL THAT I PUT IN IT SHOULD REGISTER THAT I WOULD GET 115 MILES OFF IT....BUT IT WILL REGISTER THAT I SHOULD GET 150 MILES. SOMETIMES IT REGISTERS RIGHT AND I CAN DRIVE ONLY 10 MILES AND THE NUMBER OF MILES THAT I CAN TRAVEL WILL DROP BY 28 MILES OR MORE. IT CHANGES AS I DRIVE BUT DOESN'T SHOW THE PROPER MILEAGE LEFT AS BE APPROPRIATE. ALSO MY HEAT IS ONLY COMING OUT THE VENTS IN THE REAR AND THE TOP SIDE DASH VENTS AND THE BOTTOM DRIVER SIDE FLOOR VENT. THE FRONT DASH VENTS HAVE NO HEAT AND THE BOTTOM FLOOR PASSENGER VENT IS BLOWING COOL AIR. THE HEAT PROBLEM IS WHEN DRIVING AND SITING. THE MILEAGE READER IS OCCURRING WHEN DRIVING AND AFTER REFILLING AND SOMETIMES WHILE SITTING WITH THE CAR RUNNING.

FUEL INDICATOR IS ALL OVER THE PLACE. DROP TO ZERO AND TO HALF AND FULL AND BACK TO ZERO.

ON OCTOBER 12, 2017 (VEHICLE HAD UNDER 100K MILES) I WAS DRIVING MY BUICK ENCLAVE WITH A PASSENGER IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND MY SON IN THE BACK CAPTAIN'S CHAIR AND MY AIRBAG LIGHT WENT ON ALONG WITH MY SERVICE AIRBAG ON MY DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DRIVEN IN ANY UNUSUAL FASHION AS MY VEHICLE IS USED FOR HIGHWAY AND CITY USE. WHEN I NOTICED THE INDICATOR(S) ON THE DASH I WAS DRIVING ON A TWO LANE BLACKTOP HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH IN PARTLY SUNNY COLORADO/NICE CONDITIONS. I WAS NOT GOING TO REPAIR WHAT WAS DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY AIRBAGS AS THE QUOTED PRICE WAS CLOSE TO $2000.00. ONCE I THOUGHT MORE ABOUT MY DECISION, DISCOVERING THAT NO AIRBAGS MY TRIGGER IN AN ACCIDENT AND THAT I COMMONLY TRANSPORT MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS IN MY VEHICLE, I DECIDED IT WAS BEST TO REPAIR THE AIRBAGS FOR SAFETY REASONS. I HAVE ATTACHED THE COST/RECEIPT FOR THIS REPAIR THAT TOOK PLACE ON 12/20/2017: $2032.86 (MINUS AN OIL CHANGE FOR $44.92) = $1987.92. THE REASON FOR MY COMPLAINT/ISSUE IS DUE TO THE COST TO REPAIR WHAT I CONSIDER A MANUFACTURERS SAFETY RECALL ISSUE. WHILE I DO NOT FIND ANY RECALLS ON-LINE OR WITH GM, I CONSIDER THIS A SAFETY ISSUE WITH THE MANUFACTURER THAT SHOULD STAND BEHIND THEIR WORK PRODUCT FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CUSTOMERS. MY VEHICLE IS IN MINT CONDITION WITH SERVICE RECORDS DOCUMENTING MY CARE AND UP-KEEP INCLUDING MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR WORK RECENTLY AT RIGHT AUTOMOTIVE IN PARKER COLORADO. IF YOU SHOULD HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, PLEASE CONTACT ME AT [XXX] OR [XXX]. THANK

THIS VEHICLE HAS ONLY ABOUT 55,000 MILES AND WAS PURCHASED USED. IT UNDERWENT THE MAJOR RECALL GM HAD FOR DEFECTIVE AIRBAGS IN 2014. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS ON MOTION AND HAS BEEN INTERMITTENTLY ON AND OFF. THE DEALER WANTS $145 FOR DIAGNOSTICS AND GM WILL NOT COVER UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL UNLESS WE PROVE THERE WAS A DEFECT WITH THE PREVIOUS RECALL PARTS. OF COURSE GM WILL NOT DISCLOSE WHAT THE PREVIOUS RECALL PARTS WERE .

LOUD WHINING NOISE AND LEAKING FROM RACK/PINION PUMP. HEWLETT CHEVY/BUICK DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES PUMP IS COVERED UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT BUT WON'T PERFORM REPAIR UNTIL PUMP AND RACK ACTUALLY GO OUT...PUTTING MY FAMILY IN DANGER.

VEHICLE AT 108,000, GM DEALER STATES NEEDS NEW ENGINE FOR $6,800. STARTED MAKING A RATTLING NOISE ON ACCELERATION AND WOULD DISAPPEAR ONCE SPEED LEVELED OFF. ONLY OCCURRED 1-2 DAYS PRIOR TO HAVING IT LOOKED AT WITH MINIMAL DRIVING.

TAKATA RECALL. THE TRUCK SEEMS TO BE MESSING UP I REPLACED BATTERY AND IT WORKED FINE FOR ABOUT 3 WEEKS AND THEN IT STOPPED WORKING AGAIN, I CAN UNPLUG MY BATTERY AND PLUG IT BACK IN AND IT WILL WORK FINE FOR A LITTLE.

THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

SITTING IN CAR WITH ENGINE RUNNING AND IN PARK THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS STARTS BLINKING AND THE AUTO DOOR LOCKS STARTS LOCKING AND UNLOCKING BY THEMSELVES. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN ALL THE TIME JUST ONCE IN A WHILE.

THE POWER STEERING FAILS WHEN THE CAR IS NOT ACCELERATING. IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN THE WHEEL AFTER BACKING UP OR FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I NEED TO REPLACE THE PUMP AND RACK AND PINION SYSTEM AS WELL AS GET THE SYSTEM FLUSHED DUE TO METAL SHAVINGS THAT HAVE SHEARED OFF OF A PART WITHIN THE SYSTEM. THE TOTAL REPAIR WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2200.00.

DIFFICULTY TURNING WHEEL- POWER STEERING FEELS LIKE IT IS FAILING AND MAY NOT MAKE COMPLETE TURN. WHEEL BECOMES STIFF AND DIFFICULT TO TURN.

ON 3/31/17 RETURNING FROM SPRING BREAK AND WAS GOING 70 MPH IN PASSING LANE ON INTERSTATE 65 NEAR CULLMAN, ALABAMA AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN, THE ECM SHUT DOWN NO WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON, NO WARNING FROM ONSTAR THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM, I CUT INTO THE RIGHT HAND LANE IN FRONT OF MY SISTER INLAW AND NEARLY WAS SIDE SWIPED, I HAD NO BREAKS, NO STEERING, EVERYTHING SHUT DOWN. SOME KIND OF ELECTRICAL SHORT CAUSED THE ECM TO FRY. THROTTLE BODY ALSO WAS REPLACED. SOMETHING WAS CAUSING A DEAD SHORT. HAD MY SISTER IN LAW NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION SHE SURELY WOULD HAVE SIDE SWIPED ME WHEN I WENT DOWN INTO THE OTHER LANE, 5 PEOPLE IN MY VEHICLE AND 5 IN HERS AND TRAFFIC WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER. I ALSO REPORTED AND FILED A CLAIM WITH GM WORKED WITH CRAIG A SENIOR ADVISER AT GM. CASE# 8-286830. I ALSO FIELD A COMPLAINT WITH ONSTAR. OF COURSE ALL SAY MY CAR IS PAST WARRANTY BUT I FEEL THIS IS AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM THAT COULD CERTAINLY CAUSE DEATHS. PERHAPS A RECALL COULD OR SHOULD BE DONE. I THINK THERE MIGHT HAVE BEEN ON NEWER MODELS BUT NOT 2011. WE DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT BUT WAS 6 HOURS FROM HOME AND STRANDED, HAVING TO FIND A RENTAL CAR TO GET HOME. MY CAR WAS TOWED TO BILL SMITH BUICK GMC AND IT TOOK THEM FROM MONDAY TILL FRIDAY TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THEY ENDED UP CALLING GM TECHS DIRECT TO TRY TO DETECT THE PROBLEM.

IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING THE STEERING GEAR THE FRONT STRUTS APPARENTLY LOCKED IN PLACE NOW THEY HAVE TO BE REPLACED. ALL WORK IS BEING REPAIRED AT A DEALERSHIP. FROM WHAT I READ ONLINE THE STEERING GEAR SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE BUICK ENCLAVE. ANY FEEDBACK WOULD BE WELCOMED.

POWER STEERING RACK AND PINION SEALS ARE LEAKING AT 75000 MILES AS NOTED AT GM DEALER DURING ROUTINE SERVICE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS THROUGH A RECALL

NOTICED A WHINING NOISE IN MY STEERING WHEEL WHEN TURNING. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL". NOT BEING SATISFIED WITH THIS TOOK IT IN AND INSISTED THEY CHECK IT. I WAS THEN TOLD THE RACK AND PINION IS FAILING AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE COST WOULD BE $2000. I BOUGHT THIS CAR NEW AND IT ONLY HAS 41,000 MILES ON IT. I FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE PAID BY GM SINCE THIS IS A COMMON COMPLAINT AND VERY DANGEROUS AND COULD RESULT IN AN ACCIDENT. I WILL NO LONGER BUY ANYTHING BUILT BY GM IF THIS IS HOW THEY TREAT THEIR CUSTOMERS. I PAID $53,000 AND I THOUGHT I WOULD HAVE THIS CAR FOR A FEW MORE YEARS. I GUESS NOT.

CAR SPUTTERED WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED OR PULLING OFF FROM STANDING STILL AND LOST POWER AND THEN STOPPED COMPLETELY. COULD NOT TURN WHEEL. TRACTION OFF - STABILITRAK LIGHT CAME ON. TOWED TO DEALER - DEALER THOUGHT THEY REPAIRED. NEXT DAY SAME THING HAPPENED BUT NO DASH LIGHTS CAME ON.
