2010 BUICK ENCLAVE Complaints

THE MIDDLE AND REAR SEATS IN THE VEHICLE HAVE HEAD RESTRAINTS THAT TILT FORWARD AND ARE NOT ADJUSTABLE OR REMOVABLE AND MAKE IT EXTREMELY DIFFICULT (IMPOSSIBLE) TO INSTALL CARSEATS OR HIGH-BACK BOOSTERS CORRECTLY AND SAFELY. THE SEAT BELTS ARE ALSO VERY DIFFICULT TO REACH/BUCKLE FOR A PASSENGER IN A BOOSTER SEAT. THEY ARE VERY LOW IN THE SEAT. *TR

ON SLIGHT INCLINE THE VEHICLE DOESN'T HOLD IT'S POSITION UNLESS STRONG PRESSURE IS PLACED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. OTHERWISE THE VEHICLE ROLLS BACK. NEARLY ROLLED BACK INTO VEHICLE BEHIND. *TR

I STOPPED ON AN UPHILL GRADE AND THE CAR ROLLED BACKWARD WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE TO MOVE FORWARD INTO TRAFFIC. I CALLED THE DEALER AND SPOKE WITH SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL 2010 BUICK ENCLAVES DID THAT. I BRAKED THE CAR AGAIN BEFORE I HIT THE CAR BEHIND ME. THE CAR IS NOW AT THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT & THEY ARE CHECKING IT OUT. *TR

I OWN A 2010 BMW.THE CRUISE CONT. HAS BEEN CHANGED FOR 2010 & IN MY OPINION IS A SAFETY HAZARD.NO FAILURES-NO ACCIDENTS-YET. STANDARD FEATURE OF 2010 BMW 3, 4, 1, SERIES & PERHAPS ALL (MANUAL TRANSMISSIONS) IS THE CRUISE CONTROL DOES NOT DISENGAGE WHEN THE CLUTCH PEDAL IS DEPRESSED. THIS IS A NEW FEATURE FOR THE 2010 MODELS. IT HAS ALWAYS DISENGAGED BY PRESSING THE CLUTCH OR BRAKE, AND OBVIOUSLY BY MANUALLY TURNING OFF. THE RESULT IS IF THE CRUISE IS ON, AND THE DRIVER DOWNSHIFTS FOR BRAKING, WHEN THE CLUTCH IS RELEASED, THE CAR SHOOTS BACK TO THE PRE-SET SPEED. THUS NO ENGINE BRAKING OCCURS. THIS IS NOT SAFE. IF DOWNSHIFTING, DRIVER NEEDS TO EITHER TOUCH THE BRAKE FIRST TO DISENGAGE THE CRUISE, OR MANUALLY TURN IT OFF. NOT SURE WHY THIS IS CONSIDERED AN IMPROVEMENT BY BMW; IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. IS THERE ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO RECALL THESE CARS FOR RE-PROGRAMMING OF THE CRUISE CONTROL? MODEL YEAR NOT LISTED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE INTERMITTENTLY ROLLED BACKWARD. HE HAS TO EXERT GREAT FORCE DURING BRAKE APPLICATION TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, AND THE TECHNICIAN CONCLUDED THAT THERE WAS A DESIGN FLAW. HOWEVER NO REPAIRS WERE MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,970. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 2,000.
