POWER STEERING FAILURE IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN ONTO LOCAL HIGHWAY, STEERING WHEEL SUDDENLY BECAME STIFF AND IMPOSSIBLE TO TURN ' I WAS ALMOST GOT HIT BY A TRUCK! LATER ON I HAD SIMILAR ISSUES INTERMITTENTLY. SOMETIMES POWER STEERING WORKS BUT MANY OTHER TIMES DOESN'T. THIS HAPPENED AFTER A WINTER SNOWSTORM WHEN I LEFT THE CAR OUTSIDE, SO MY SUSPICION IS THAT THE EXTREMELY COLD TEMPERATURE CAUSED SOME BUICK ENCLAVE'S MANUFACTURING DEFECTS TO HAVE REVEALED ITSELF.

TRUNK WILL RELEASE WITHOUT WARNING. THIS CAN HAPPEN WHILE DRIVING OR AT A STOP WITHOUT ENGINE RUNNING. IT TAKES SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO CLOSE COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY OVERNIGHT. I FOUND IT OPEN IN THE MORNING.

PURGE SOLENOID VALVE HAD TO BE REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE DEVICE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO LOOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSED LONG ENGINE CRANKING AFTER RE-FUELING THE VEHICLE.

WHEN WE PRESS THE LIFGATE BUTTON TO CLOSE IT, IT WILL GODOWN AND YOU THINK IT'S CLOSING AND IT MAKES NOISES AND RAISES AGAIN. DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES THEN YOU HAVE TO PRESS HARD AND IT WILL FINALLY LATCH. I JUST BOUGHT THIS AND DID NOT THINK TO CHECK THE LIFT GATE ON THE CAR LOT AND WAS AT A STORE OPENING IT FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT DID THIS SCARED ME I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO CLOSE IT TO GO HOME.

BRIGHT LIGHTS WON'T STAY ON AND SOMETIMES IF YOU CAN GET THEM TO COME ON THEY WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING. WAS ON A CITY STREET AND TURNED RIGHT , THEY WENT OFF. SINCE THEN YOU CAN HOLD THE BRIGHT LIGHT SWITCH, BUT WHEN YOU TURN LOOSE THEY GOES OFF.
