I BOUGHT A 2012 BUICK ENCLAVE USED IN 2018. THIS YEAR THE AIRBAG DASHBOARD LIGHT CAME ON. MECHANIC SAYS I MUST REPLACE THE AIRBAG (WHICH ISN'T CHEAP) AND ALL AIRBAGS ARE DISABLED UNTIL IT IS FIXED. I KNOW THERE WAS A MASSIVE RECALL BUT APPARENTLY MY ENCLAVE WASN'T ONE OF THEM.

THE REAR POWER LIFT GATE DOES NOT STAY UP AND CLOSES SUDDENLY AND HAS CAUSED SEVERAL MINOR INJURIES TO MY FAMILY. I NOTICED THERE WAS POTENTIALLY A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE FOR ENCLAVES MADE BETWEEN 2010 AND MARCH OF 2012 BUT IT DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ASSOCIATED TO MY SPECIFIC VIN.
