THE AIRBAG LIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO ON AND OFF AS A RESULT OF LOOSE CRIMPS IN THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SEAT MOUNTED SIDE IMPACT AIRBAG (SIAB) WIRING-HARNESS CONNECTORS. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME PROBLEM IN GM RECALL NUMBER N14030 (GFPE) NUMBER N-140030 NHTSA RECALL 14V118. I MADE A COMPLAINT TO GM UNDER case NUMBER 9-9401539892. GM REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE MY ENCLAVE IS A 2014 MODEL AND NOT A 2013 MODEL. I WAS FORCED TO SPEND $318.27 WITH MARC MILLER BUCK GMC 4700 SOUTH MEMORIAL TULSA, OK 74145 918.663.4700 ON FEBRUARY 10, 2023. THE REPAIR TICKET FROM THE GMC DEALER PROVIDES: "CUSTOMER STATES THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS COMING ON AT TIMES. ELECTRICAL TEST HIGH RESISTANCE IN R & L SEATS CONNECTORS NEED TO SOLDER TERMINALS AT CONNECTORS. CONTACT GM THRU POLICY EVALUATION TOOL, GM OFFERS NO PARTICIPATION AT THIS TIME. CUSTOMER CASE 9-9401539892. CHARGE: $318.27" INVOICE ATTACHED.

Called local dealer they said call GM after 4 days received a call back from GM was told don't know when fix will be available , no loaner car, was told to sit and wait. So I have to make payments and pay registration while they take their time to find a fix. GM AND LOCAL DEALER VERY RUDE.

I was sitting in a drivethru line and reached down to tighten my seat belt because it felt lose and the entire steel cord that attaches the seatbelt to the front outboard seating snapped in half. There is a steel cord/cable that connects the pretensioner to the seat belt. This 1 inch thick cord was unraveled and severed. This gave me great concern because this cord was likely on the verge of snapping for many weeks prior to it snapping. A steel cord doesn't just randomly snap in half - so if I had I had a crash prior to it fully breaking - I could have been injured. In addition, I had to drive my vehicle with this defect until new parts could be ordered. I drove around for roughly 2 weeks with a non-functioning seat belt because I could not afford to rent a vehicle while I was waiting for mine to be repaired. When I took it to a shop for repair, they told me they had never seen anything like it in their 30 years of repairs. I have all receipts and documentation, and I have the original faulty part. To recap, I have never been a crash in the vehicle and cord snapping in half happened when I was sitting still and not moving. There is a recall on 2009-2014 Buick Enclaves for this exact issue, but my vehicle's VIN number does not fall within the recall. Specifically, the recall is for the flexible steel cable that connects the seatbelt to the front outboard seating may fatigue and separate over time. This is exactly what happened to mine, but it was not covered and I was never notified of the issue. I don't want someone to be in a wreck with a faulty/non-working seatbelt.

Stabilitrack continues to cause problems with the car. I was traveling 60 mph and the stabilitrack and check engine light reduce engine power and car is unable to drive over 40 mph. This is a serious concern when on the highway. When this issue is tripped the car shakes and runs roughly. This car continues to have air bag relay or electrical issues even after fixing the seat belt harness which was recalled. This has been repaired by the dealership no less than 3 times and it feels as we are replacing parts which do not fix the issue. Having the car slow and limp home on a highway is dangerous and happens without warning. The dealership dismissed the airbag light and the second look says repair is needed for safety. So frustrating GM.

My wipers would stop working. When they are on. I had to get them fixed. This is a safety issue and GM said it’s normal wear an tear.

Loud engine rattling noise on startup of 3.6L v6 then check engine light came on. Carl Black GM Buick dealer replaced valve actuator solenoid, but engine still making the rattling noise on startup. Danger of timing chain and valve phasers not synchronizing causing valve interference with pistons and engine damage and failure in high speed traffic on Atlanta GA freeways and 2 lane side roads.

PASSENGER RESTRAINT SYSTEM FAILED, COST $600 REPAIRED, WITH ONLY 56,500 MILES, IT GAVE A CODE OF b0022, AND A SERVICE BULLETIN DTC B0022, SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS CODE B0022 THE SEATBELT AND AIR BAGS WILL NOT WORK IN EVENT OF A COLLISION, YES BY A INDEPENDENT SERVICE CENTER, SERVICED AIR BAGS MESSAGES AND RED SEATBELT WITH AIR BAG LIGHT ON. THIS SHOULD ME A RECALL DIE TO GM KNOWS THAT THEIR IS A DEFECT.

The airbag sensors need to be replaced apparently but we were in no accident prior to the light coming on
