2014 BUICK ENCLAVE Complaints

TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING HARD. WAS SHIFTING HARD ONLY ON A TURN BUT IS NOW SHIFTING HARD AS YOU ARE JUST DRIVING ON A STRAIGHTWAY.

IN 2016, AND AGAIN IN 2020 AFTER THE DEALER FIRST FIXED THE ISSUE, WHILE DRIVING AT HIGH SPEEDS, ON HIGHWAYS, ALSO IN THE RAIN, AGAIN AT A STOP LIGHT, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY DECELERATED, CAUSING THE POTENTIAL FOR A VERY SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE WARNINGS THEN DISPLAYED ON THE DASH INCLUDED REDUCED ENGINE POWER, SERVICE STABILITRAK, SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL, AND TRACTION CONTROL OFF. THE VEHICLE ONLY THEN DROVE AT SLOW SPEEDS, SPUTTERED AND JERKED, AND FELT LIKE IT MIGHT STALL. WHEN ABLE TO PULL OVER, AT TIMES TURNING OFF THE CAR REVERSED THE PROBLEM. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON, SOMETIMES IT WASN'T. SOMETIMES IT WOULD DRIVE FINE AND THEN OUT OF NOWHERE, IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. IN 2016, THE DEALERSHIP HAD A DIFFICULT TIME FINDING THE ISSUE. AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF DRIVING IT, THEY IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM AS A FUSE BOX ISSUE AND REPLACED THE FUSE BOX. THIS SEEMED TO FIX THE ISSUE UNTIL IT HAPPENED AGAIN IN 2020 WHILE DRIVING. ON A ROAD TRIP, IT HAPPENED WHILE ON A HIGHWAY, AGAIN AT A RED LIGHT, AND WHILE ON A HIGHWAY AGAIN. EACH TIME, WE PULLED OVER, TURNED THE CAR OFF FOR A WHILE. ONE TIME IN PARTICULAR, THE ISSUE DIDN'T GO AWAY AFTER TURNING THE CAR BACK ON.

MY CAR SHOWED MESSAGE WARNING " SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM" DURING WINTER STORM IN SYRACUSE NY. THIS MESSAGE IS ON AND OFF. ALSO, DRIVER SIDE WARNING LIGHT ON DRIVER MIRROR SHOWS INACCURATE. IT IS ON WHEN THERE WERE NO CAR. ALSO IT IS OFF WHEN THERE ARE CAR ON MY LEFT SIDE. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MY CAR IS BIG, HAS BLIND SPOT, THIS FEATURE IS VERY IMPORTANT. I CHECKED THE SENSOR LOCATED INSIDE REAR BUMPER BEHIND THE TIRE, WHICH IS BAD POSITION FOR THE SENSOR, MUD AND WATER CAN BUILD UP EASY AROUND SENSOR. THE SENSOR CASE IS SEALED NOT PROPERLY AND WEATHER CAN BREAK THE SEAL EASY. MY SENSOR HAS BEEN FILLED WITH WATER INSIDE. I COULD HEAR WATER WHEN I SHAKED THE SENSOR

LIGHT SENSOR FOR ALL AIR BAGS STAY ON. THE LIGHT DON'T GO OFF AFTER DRIVING IT. AFRAID THAT AIR BAG WOULD GO OFF OR BLOW UP IN FRONT OF FACE, CAUSING FOR AN ACCIDENT WHILE DRIVING. AIR BAG NOT WORKING PROPERLY AND IT CAN CAUSE AN UNEXPECTED ACCIDENT. I LIVE IN FEAR WHILE DRIVING MY CAR.
