2008 BUICK ENCLAVE Complaints

THE STABILIZER SYSTEM IS SHOWING A WARNING LIGHT. SAYING : THE STABILIZER SYSTEM NEED SERVICE. AT THE SAME TIME THE TIRE PRESSURE SYMBOL LIGHT COME ON AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOW AND STAYS ON. SHOWING 3 ERROR CODES P0700 - P0174 - P 0171. THIS IS LIKE ONE ERROR CODE PULL THE OTHER. THEN THE NEXT DAY THE LIGHT IS GONE, WHEN YOU COME AND START THE CAR AND THEN AFTER SEVERAL HOUR THE LIGHT COMES BACK AGAIN.

LOSS OF POWER COMPLETELY DURING MERGING INTO EXPRESSWAYS. TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ALLOW VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE.

REAR LIFTGATE OPENS RANDOMLY, LIFTGATE FAILED TO STAY OPEN AND CLOSED WHILE GETTING THINGS OUT OF BACK, WOULD THEN GO UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN AND WAS UNABLE TO CLOSE MANUALLY. REVIEWED COMPLAINTS AND SEE THIS WAS PROBLEM WITH A CAMPAIGN NUMBER OF 15V415000 BUT WHEN WE CHECK THE VIN OF OUR CAR SAYS THERE ARE NO RECALLS.

TRANSMISSION FAILED WHILE IN MOTION AT 116,000 MILES. BEGAN SHUDDERING / SLIPPING WHILE DRIVING UPHILL. EVENTUALLY JAMMED IN 2ND GEAR AND WILL NOT SHIFT, WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT (CODE P0700). GM WILL NOT REPLACE IT BECAUSE IT IS 6 MONTHS PAST THE "EXTENDED COVERAGE" OF THEIR SERVICE BULLETIN. (10 YEARS / 120,000 MILES) . I AM NOW HAVING TO PAY $3,800 TO HAVE CERTIFIED TRANSMISSION REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION.

PASSENGER SEAT AIR BAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK IF SOMEBODY UNDER 175 LBS IS SITTING THERE

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER (SCHUCHARD'S WESTSIDE GMC INC, 1800 9TH AVE SW, WATERTOWN, SD 57201, (605) 886-5694) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THERE WAS NO RECALL FOR THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF/STALLS WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNINGS.FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN PROCEEDING FROM STOPS LIKE RED LIGHTS, AND STOP SIGNS. NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE TO STOP COMPLETELY, AND RESTART THE CAR. IT MAY TAKE UP TO TWO ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT STARTS AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS

HAD BUICK RECALL DONE IN 2011. WAS NOT PERMANENT. PASSENGER SENSOR DOES NOT WORK AND DISPLAY READS 'OFF'. 'SERVICE AIRBAG' STAYS ON THE DASH DISPLAY.

DRIVING THE CAR IN THE FREEWAY. CAR STARTED SMOKING, STOPPED ON SHOULDER TURNED OFF ENGINE. SMOKE GOT DARKER AND THEN FIRE APPEARED.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERTY. THUS, ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAY NOT GET AN AIRBAG AT IMPACT. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, HOWEVER A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT IT. I CAN SAY THAT THE FRONT SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED THAT MUCH IN THE CAR NOR BY A LARGE INDIVIDUAL. $1000+ TO REPLACE FOR A $4000 CAR IS TOO MUCH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.
