THE CAR WAS AT A LOCAL (SUMMIT,NJ) HARQUILL BROS. FOR A STANDARD OIL CHANGE. WHEN THEY BACKED UP THE CAR TO BRING IT INTO A BAY THE FRONT DRIVE SHAFT FELL OUT OF ITS YOKE TO THE GROUND. THE DAY BEFORE I FOUND A BRACKET AND BOLT IN MY DRIVEWAY AT HOME AND THOUGHT IT WAS FROM THE LANDSCAPERS MOWER. I PLAN TO GIVE THAT PART TO THE DEALER TODAY WHEN I GET THE REPAIRED CAR. I DO HAVE PICTURES OF THE PART

THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START ON 12/1/14. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP IN SAN LUIS OBISPO, CALIFORNIA, AND THEY TOWED IT IN. THE BATTERY WAS FINE AND THEY TOLD MY WIFE THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT IT WAS GOOD TO GO AND THEY GAVE IT BACK TO HER ON 12/2/14. ON 12/4/14 MY WIFE AND TWO YOUNG CHILDREN WERE DRIVING AND ABOUT TO GET ON THE FREEWAY 180 MILES AWAY ION SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA, WHEN THE CAR STALLED AND FROZE UP WHILE GOING 40 MPH. POWER STEERING DID NOT WORK. SHE PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND THE CAR SHUT OFF. THANK HEAVENS SHE WAS NOT ON THE FREEWAY. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP IN SAN JOSE. TODAY THEY TOLD HER THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR BUT THE COMPUTER DID SHOW AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. WE CALLED GM AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND THEY WILL SPEAK WITH DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM I BELIEVE WITH THE 20014 MODEL WHERE, I READ ON THE INTERNET, THE CHASSIS ELECTRONIC MODULE MAY BE INTERNALLY CONTAMINATED, RESULTING IN AN ELECTRICAL SHORT. IT STATES THAT IF THE MODULE EXPERIENCES AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, THE VEHICLE COULD STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE. THE 2013 MODEL NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AS WELL BEFORE SOMEBODY DIES. *TR

04/24/2014 3:56PM OUR 2013 ENCLAVE SUDDENLY WENT INTO REDUCED ENGINE POWER MODE WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT SPEEDS OF 65-70 WHEN SUDDENLY SPEED WAS REDUCED TO 35-45MPH. MY WIFE ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED. SHE CONTACT ONSTAR FOR DIAGNOSTICS BUT THEY COULD NOT SEE ANY ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE. (NOT ISSUES OR DIAGNOSTIC CODES FOUND) WHEN THIS HAPPENED THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT LIT, TRACTION OFF LIGHT LIT, FLASHING SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT LIT. CAR RUNNING ROUGH AND WENT INTO POWER REDUCED MODE WITH SUDDEN REDUCED SPEED WHILE DRIVING ON HWY. TO DATE THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AND UNTIL THIS PAST SUNDAY, 10/26/2014 HAD NEVER STORED A CODE TO SHOW A PROBLEM. THIS EVENT SHOWED A C0561 CODE STORED. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN APPOINTMENT BUT THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO LOOK AT IT UNTIL TODAY, 10/29/2014 AT THIS POINT THERE APPARENTLY WERE TOO MANY DRIVE CYCLES AND THE CODE HAD CLEARED. THE DEALERSHIP ADVISED ME TO BRING IT IN ASAP ON THE NEXT EVENT OF THIS HAPPENING WITHOUT TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF, I HAVE KNOW IDEA WHEN OR WHERE I'LL BE WHEN IT HAPPENS AGAIN.... THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I JUST HOPE TO NOT GET INTO AN ACCIDENT FROM THIS BEFORE THEY ARE ABLE TO FIX IT. *TR
