BUICK Complaints

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. SUDDENLY SHUTS OFF/STALLS WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNINGS.FIRST IT ONLY HAPPENED WHEN PROCEEDING FROM STOPS LIKE RED LIGHTS, AND STOP SIGNS. NOW IT'S ALSO HAPPENING WHILE IN MOTION. I HAVE TO STOP COMPLETELY, AND RESTART THE CAR. IT MAY TAKE UP TO TWO ATTEMPTS BEFORE IT STARTS AGAIN. THE FIRST TIME I TOOK IT IN WAS

ON JANUARY 9, 2018, WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT ON THE CITY STREET, AS I PROCEEDED THROUGH THE TRAFFIC LIGHT MY VEHICLE CUT OFF. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED HOME WHICH WAS THE CLOSEST DESTINATION. MY 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE HAS BEEN LOOKED AT JIM MURPHY BUICK AND WEST HERR CHEVY AND BOTH DEALERSHIPS CONCLUDED THE SAME PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THE TIMING CHAIN. MY VEHICLE IS NO LONGER WORKING, I NEED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE DUE TO THE MALFUNCTION OF THE TIMING CHAIN. WHEN SEEKING A RECONDITIONED ENGINE, THE RESPONSE I'VE GOTTEN FROM AUTO PART/ENGINE DEALERS IS THAT THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE TIMING CHAIN ON THOSE ENGINES FOR 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE MODELS AND THAT THE TIMING CHAIN WAS NOT BUILT TO LAST LONG. BUT, THE RECONDITIONED ENGINES TIMING CHAIN IS NOW UPGRADED TO THE NEW GM SPECS.

HAD BUICK RECALL DONE IN 2011. WAS NOT PERMANENT. PASSENGER SENSOR DOES NOT WORK AND DISPLAY READS 'OFF'. 'SERVICE AIRBAG' STAYS ON THE DASH DISPLAY.

DRIVING THE CAR IN THE FREEWAY. CAR STARTED SMOKING, STOPPED ON SHOULDER TURNED OFF ENGINE. SMOKE GOT DARKER AND THEN FIRE APPEARED.

TAKATA RECALL IT APPEARS THIS IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE WITH MY 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. I HAD IT LOOKED AT AND NOW IT IS STILL MAKING A LOUD NOISE WHEN DRIVING, WHEN MAKING A TURN AND IT MAKE A ROUGH SOUND NOW MY STABILITY TRACKING LIGHT IS POPPING ON SAYING TO CHECK THE STABILITY. I WAS TOLD THE RACK AND PINION AND POWER STEERING PUMP WERE REPLACED BUT IT IS STILL CAUSING ISSUES. LOUD NOISES OCCUR WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN TURNING IT MAKES A LOUD NOISE AND MY TRACKING LIGHT POPS ON AND OFF.

PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERTY. THUS, ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT MAY NOT GET AN AIRBAG AT IMPACT. THERE IS NO RECALL ON THIS, HOWEVER A LOT OF POSTS ABOUT IT. I CAN SAY THAT THE FRONT SEAT HAS NOT BEEN USED THAT MUCH IN THE CAR NOR BY A LARGE INDIVIDUAL. $1000+ TO REPLACE FOR A $4000 CAR IS TOO MUCH. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

VEHICLE IS LEAKING FUEL FROM THE GAS TANK SEAM. THE AMOUNT OF FUEL BEING LOST IS SIGNIFICANT.

WE REPLACED COIL 4 AND 2 BACK IN DEC 2015, THEN NUMBER 1 ON 10-30-2017, AND NOW THEY ARE STATING NUMBERS 3 AND 5 ARE BAD...IS THIS NORMAL? DO WE HAVE A DEFECTIVE CAR? ALL OF THE GM CARS WE HAVE OWNED, WE HAVE NEVER HAVE TO REPLACE 1 MUCH LESS 5!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST POWER, THE SPEED DECREASED, AND THE CHECK ENGINE AND TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKES WOULD NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY AND MADE IT DIFFICULT TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A HOLE IN THE ENGINE BLOCK AND THE BLOCK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER (PALMEN BUICK IN KENOSHA, WI) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT. THE VIN WAS CORRECTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 114,000. *TT *TR
