Check Engine Light On problems of the 2008 Buick Enclave

I bought this vehicle July of 2017 probably about 6 months driving my radio makes a loud static noise and then no sound not even blinker sounds. I get in it later that day crank it it's fine. Then begin to have intermittent cranking issues crank it nothing everything on the dash blacks out nothing nothing happens turn the key back turn it back over it cranks that still seems to be a problem it still does that. Then a few months later my liftgate just opens by itself that has happened on several occasions I just been wake up in the morning the and the liftgate is open. One morning my husband wakes up to go to work and goes outside my car has actually remote start itself I was just sitting in the yard running like somebody remote started it but no one was up to do that. At night when I go to bed I don't lock my vehicle because I'm afraid it may be auto started the next morning when I get up and now my check engine light is on with my service traction control and service stabilitrak light the engine is giving the code for injectors 2 4 and 6. P204 202 206. These lights will randomly come on and go off and when their own the vehicle won't start bog down and try to cut off or cut off it doesn't want to stay running came to a red light three days ago those lights come on in the middle of pulling off from a red light it was green so I was pulling away car just shuts off put it put it in park crank it up drives right off.

This car is a mess. It didn't pass the state emission test sticker. The traction control system in conjunction with the stability track control system. Are bringing up a check engine light with error code p0174 and p0171. Every time those system showed up in the instrument panel I got a follow up check engine light. I don't know what the problem is and two GMC Buick dealer have said different fix method. Very back for me. They want to fix different problems. They don't know what the real problem is. They are guessing.

The stabilizer system is showing a warning light. Saying : the stabilizer system need service. At the same time the tire pressure symbol light come on and the check engine light follow and stays on. Showing 3 error codes p0700 - p0174 - p 0171. This is like one error code pull the other. Then the next day the light is gone, when you come and start the car and then after several hour the light comes back again.

At 90k miles vehicle had check engine light along with warning for stabilitrak and traction control. Later that day the vehicle shook and stalled at a red light. The Buick dealer identified timinig chain and timing actuator as issues. These parts were replaced under an extended warranty that we purchased. At 104k miles the check engine light is on again; the dealer says it is the same timing chain that needs to be replace. But this gm nor the dealer can explain why the timing chain failed after only 14k miles of use. Timing chain appears to be an issue on 2008 Enclave even though gm has refused to cover them. Also it appears the replacement parts are not any better.

Check engine light came on at 70000 miles. Brought into dealer and told stretched timing chain. Although gm has an extended warranty on many of these engines in the Enclave, I was told that mine was not a part of the qualified batch for the extended warranty and that all costs would be out of pocket. I am currently stuck with a vehicle that needs over $3500 in repairs on a known issue for this engine. The vehicle will not pass needed emissions testing and is as such undrivable.

I have an 08' Enclave and I live in wisconsin, today I started my vehicle and proceeded to drive and about 2-3 minutes into the ride, the vehicle rapidly began to slow down and the vehicle began to jerk. The check engine light and the stability-track light both came on during the jerking and slowing down of my vehicle. The dic strolls the following message "reduce engine power and service engine. " I drove my vehicle all the way home and the entire time I was unable to drive no more than 20 miles per hour even though my foot was completely down on the gas pedal. This is my only transportation and im hoping that there is a recall for this issue because I googled the problems with my vehicle and apparently im not the only one with this problem.

After 66,000 miles of easy driving, our 2008 Buick Enclave has a broken wave plate and needs a new transmission! the transmission failure caused two separate dangerous driving situations, one of which could have been fatal. The first event occurred when stopped at an intersection to make a left turn. I had two children in the back seat. When the intersection cleared, I began to make the left turn, but the engine failed to accelerate and merely coasted into the lane of on-coming traffic. The left side of the vehicle and the 7-year-old child sitting there were left exposed to the threat of impact by fast-approaching traffic. After about 2 seconds, the engine accelerated and we were able to leave the intersection moments before on-coming traffic arrived. The second event occurred two days later. Traveling 45-50 mph on a local highway, the engine slipped gears and would not shift out of first gear. The check engine light came on. We returned home at slow speed. In the driveway, we put the car in park, then in drive and reverse. It barely moved in either direction. The next day, we were able to drive it to the nearby dealership. It shifted gears on the way, but the warning light stayed on. The dealership informed us that the wave plate is broken and that the transmission must be replaced. We tried contacting gm customer service but received nothing more than a recorded message asking us to hold on the line. We held for over one hour and received no customer service. A review of many website postings reveals a widespread failure of the Enclave wave plate and transmission, that gm is fully aware of it and has taken no steps to address it or to ensure of the safety of the thousands of Enclave owners and other drivers on the road. Failing any accountability by gm, we insist that NHTSA take action on this widespread safety hazard and issue a recall.

My husband, I, and our 3 young children were driving on I-94 at 70mph when our check engine light started flashing,the vehicle immediately starting shaking and riding extremely rough and the engine died. Fortunately we were in the right lane, and there was a wide shoulder for us to pull onto. We had the car towed to a gm delearship, who ran diagnostics and found that there were cylinder misfires on cylinders 1,3 &5. They ran further diagnostics and found that a valve spring broke & dropped into the cylinder. The piston hit the valve, knocked a hole in the piston, and pieces of the valve went through the engine. This vehicle was purchased 5 yrs and 9 months ago (9 months out of the warranty), but only halfway through the 100,000 mile warranty. We were given a gm customer service contact name (lashawn) and number, but she will neither answer her phone, nor return our numerous messages! we purchased this vehicle brand new and have done all maintenance work on schedule, and have never had a problem with this "luxury" vehicle. We chose this vehicle for all of its safety features, as parents of 3 young children, safety is of our utmost concern. We certainly didn't feel safe 3 hours from home, traveling back from vacation, in the middle of WI completely stranded with a vehicle whose engine died within 5 seconds of the warning lights coming on. As inconvenient as it is that our vehicle is 3 hours from us, we are so thankful this didn't happen in downtown chicago, where a dead vehicle on I-94 could have easily turned into a fatal collision.

I was driving on a highway the check engine light came on approximately 25 seconds later the engine seized I was able to get to the shoulder of road but experience was life threatening. Gm has done nothing to help refuse to pay for anything even though I pay them 1 year ago to solve this problrm.
