THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE IN A STRAIGHT LINE IT'S ONLY WHEN CORNERING OR TURNING. TOOK IT TO A DEALER TO ASK OF THEY HAVE EVER HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE I READ NUMEROUS INCIDENTS ONLINE OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. EVERY DEALER TOLD ME THEY HAVEN'T HEARD OF A STEERING PROBLEM WITH THE ENCLAVE. I REALLY FIND THIS HARD TO BELIEVE WITH ALL OF THE POST ONLINE. THEY WANT TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE STEERING RACK AT A RIDICULOUS PRICE. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT THE ISSUE THEY ARE ONLY GUESSING! THERE HAVE MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES SINCE AND VERY CLOSE CALLS. THIS VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE PARKED UNTIL WE GET SOME HELP WITH THIS ISSUE!!!! PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

THE POWER STEERING GETS VERY STIFF TO THE POINT THAT I HAVE A HARD TIME TURNING OR EVEN TRYING TO TURN THE WHEEL TO PARK! I'VE BEEN READING IN THE INTERNET ABOUT A LOT OF PEOPLE'S COMPLAINTS AND NO ONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT OR EVEN TRY TO INVESTIGATE IF IT COULD BE A PROBLEM DUE TO FAULTY EQUIPMENT!! THE REPAIR COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE $2400.00 DOLLARS WE NEED SOMEONE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM! MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL!! DUE TO FAULTY OR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT!!!! PLEASE TAKE THE TIME TO READ EVERYBODY'S COMPLAINTS IN THE INTERNET !! THE WORST THING ABOUT IT WE CAN NOT GET ANY TYPE OF ASSISTANCE FOR THIS EXPENSIVE REPAIRS!! PLEASE HELP!! *TR

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2000 BUICK CENTURY HAS A HARD SHIFT CONDITION THAT WAS DIAGNOSED AT 2 DIFFERENT TRANSMISSION SHOPS AS A PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID FAILURE THAT IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS CAR. ONE OF THE SHOPS SAID THE PROBLEM WILL REOCCUR EVEN WITH REPLACEMENT OF THE PART UNLESS A SHIFT KIT IS INSTALLED.AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE ON LINE IT BECOMES APPARENT THAT THE SHOPS ARE CORRECT IN THEIR DIAGNOSIS. WHY HAS THIS ISSUE NOT BEEN A RECALL! *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A RURAL ROAD DOING ABOUT 35 TO 40 MPH THE SPEED SUDDENLY FROZE AT 40 AND IT NO LONGER MOVES. I'M CURRENTLY A DRIVER FOR THE CITY AND THIS IS A COMPLETE HAZARD WHEN DRIVING AND CAN'T DETERMINE YOUR SPEED. I WAS VERY AFRAID DUE TO THE FACT I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS HAPPEN TO ME WHICH OCCURRED IN THE PROCESS OF ACCELERATION . WHEN I FINALLY LOOKED DOWN MY SPEED SAID 90 WHICH I KNEW FOR A FACT I WASN'T GOING THAT FAST AT ALL ONCE THE VEHICLE GOT STUCK ON 40 IT NEVER CAME BACK DOWN.
