After not driving my 2008 Buick Enclave for 3 days, when I tried to start it the battery was completely dead and I couldn't get the key out of the ignition. I had to have it jump started, after just 9,000 miles on it. Apparently, after doing some quick internet searches, this is a wide-spread problem with the Buick Enclaves.
