2008 BUICK ENCLAVE Complaints

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE LEAKING *TGW. THE CONSUMER STATED WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE SUNROOF. *JB

WITHOUT INCIDENT OR CAUSE, OUR 2008 ENCLAVE BEGAN LEAKING AN EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF WATER ONTO THE PASSENGER AND DRIVER'S SIDE FLOOR BOARDS. ONLY BY ONLINE SEARCHING HAVE I FOUND THAT THESE LEAKS ARE MOST LIKELY COMING FROM INADEQUATE DRAIN TUBES OR OTHER COMPONENT OF THE SUNROOF. OUR LOCAL GMC / CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP HAS COMPLETELY BRUSHED US OFF AND REFUSED TO HONOR EXTENDED WARRANTY OR EVEN LOOK AT THE VEHICLE IN THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE SENT US TO LOCAL AUTOGLASS COMPANIES AND A LOCAL BODY SHOP, NEITHER OF WHICH EVEN SLOWED DOWN THE LEAKING. AT THIS POINT, I JUST WANT TO GET RID OF THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE TWO YOUNG DAUGHTERS, AGE 3 AND 4, WHO WILL UNDOUBTEDLY BE EXPOSED TO MOLD AND MILDEW IN THE VENTILATION SYSTEM OF THIS CAR. ASIDE FROM THIS, THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND RUST ARE BOUND TO OCCUR IN THE FUTURE. BUICK HAS COMPLETELY FAILED THIS CONSUMER. *TR

STEERING COLUMN MAKES A CLICKING AND SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN TURNING. ALSO, WHEN SLOWING DOWN TO TURN AND AT COMPLETE REST, THE POWER STEERING GOES OUT, MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO TURN. WE WERE TOLD BY THE DEALER IN OUR AREA THAT THERE WERE SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS ISSUE AND HE THOUGHT A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED, SOON. *TR
