2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ROLLS UNABATED ON HILLS WHILE IN GEAR - DRIVE OR REVERSE. VERY HARD TO CONTROL. REQUIRES VERY QUICK MOVE FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR AND "2-FOOT" DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND WEARS BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO "HILL HOLD" FEATURE AND DRIVETRAIN PROVIDES NO RESISTANCE. *TR

INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER FAULTY! THE DIGITAL ODOMETER DOES NOT WORK. THE GEAR SHIFT DISPLAY (PRND321) DOES NOT WORK EITHER! I HAVE TO FEEL WHEN I SWITCH FROM PARK TO DRIVE. DURING VEHICLE INSPECTIONS I HAVE TO GUESS MY CORRECT MILEAGE, BECAUSE IT'S BLANK! I REPLACED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER ON FEBRUARY 28, 2010. IN OCTOBER 2011 THE EXPLAINED PROBLEMS RECURRED! *TR

FUEL GAUGE ACTS ERRATIC. SHOWS 3/4 FULL, THEN SLOWLY DROPS TO EMPTY WITH LOW FUEL ALARM SOUNDING. I KNOW THERE IS FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. FUEL SENSING UNIT IS MALFUNCTION. *TR
