2008 BUICK ENCLAVE Complaints

SUNROOF WATER LEAK. WHEN IT RAINS WATER POURS FROM ALL PARTS OF THE ROOF ONTO THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. FROM FALLING WATER TO WATER RUNNING DOWN THROUGH THE WALLS OF EVERY PART OF THE CAR. IT HAS STARTED TO CAUSE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE AND ALSO I HAVE FOUND MOLD UNDER THE CARPET WHERE THE WATER ACCUMULATES. IT IS USUALLY 1 TO 2 INCHES OF WATER ON THE FLOOR BOARDS AFTER RAINING. CAUSING MOLD, RUST AND MILDEW. THIS HAPPENS WHENEVER IT RAINS, A LITTLE OR ALOT. THIS MAY BE CAUSING UNHEALTH IISUES. IT WOULD BE SMART FOR BUICK TO FIX THESE ISSUES NOW BEFORE MEDICAL BILLS ARE INVOLVED.

MY TAILGATE OPENS ON IT'S OWN WITH NO BUTTONS BEING PRESSED WHEN THE CAR IS PARKED. ALSO THE TAILGATE DOES NOT SENSE IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING IT FROM CLOSING IT WILL JUST TRY AND CLOSE ON THE ITEM OR THE PERSON

LIGHT FLASH BY THEM SELVES TRUCK DOOR LIFTS BY IT SELF SERVICEABILITY TRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHTS ARE ON AND NOW WON'T ACCELERATE, AND POWER STEERING PUMP IS ALSO A ISSUE . WHEN EVER LIGHTS AND HATCH OPEN ALONE THE PARK IS PARKED AND CUT OFF

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT ALWAYS SAYS OFF AND THE SERVICE AIR BAG NOTICE IS ALWAYS ON. WE TOOK THE CAR IN TO A DEALER SEVERAL YEARS AGO AND WERE TOLD IT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE AIRBAG RECALL. THIS IS HARD TO BELIEVE; THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. GM SHOULD NOT RISK AN IMPORTANT SAFETY ISSUE DEFECT TO GO IGNORED.

AT 146,938 MILES, THE ENGINE HAS DIED (PISTONS HAVE COLLIDED WITH VALVES AT TWO POINTS AND ENGINE HAS JUMPED TIMING). THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR THE SECOND TIME (ORIGINALLY REPLACED AT 56K MILES). THERE WAS NO SIGN ON THE DASH THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH EITHER.BUICK OFFERED NO HELP WITH THIS BEING SO UNUSUAL FOR THE ENGINE TO NEED TO BE REPLACED AND THE TRANSMISSION FOR THE SECOND TIME.

THE SUNROOF LEAKED INTO THE SIDE PANELS RESULTING IN ALL THE ELECTRIC BEING RUINED TO THE FUSE BOX. $5,000 WORTH OF DAMAGE. THE ENGINE NOW DOES NOT START.

WHILE DRIVING AND MAKING A TURN THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO FUNCTION. TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND HE REPLACED THE RACK AND PINION AND PUMP. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES . POWER STEERING WORKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND STEPPING ON THE GAS. WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR FOOT OFF THE GAS OR ARE STOPPED POWER STEERING DOES NOT WORK. WHEN MAKING A TURN AT AN INTERSECTION THE POWER STEERING GOES OFF AND IT IS DIFFICULT TO COMPLETE THE TURN. I READ ON LINE THAT OTHER 2008 BUICK ENCLAVES HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM.
