3 Other Fuel System problem

The contact owns a 2008 Buick Enclave. While reversing at a low speed, the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel injector needed to be cleaned. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was invalid. The failure mileage was 38,859.

4 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2015

The throttle body on several gm vehicles has failed. I was driving my car down the highway when the traction control light started flashing, then the engine reduced power start light went on, then the car sputtered, slowed down and would not go over 30 mph. This could cause an accident when driving at a high rate of speed, the vehicle slows down quickly and you cannot get power to move over 30. I have researched this and it is a common problem with gm vehicles.

5 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/25/2014

While on an on-ramp to an interstate, my wife was merging into fast moving traffic. As she accelerated and merged into traffic, the vehicle lost the ability to accelerate causing the engine to rev and the vehicle to lose speed. Not only was the surprise and shock of the event to include the very high revving alarming, but the vehicle was in an unsafe situation by failing to be able to maintain proper lane position in traffic. My wife managed to coast the vehicle onto the shoulder where she waited in an extremely unsafe position for help. It was found that the transmission was the cause of the issue which required expensive repairs. There was no warning prior to the malfunction and the event could have been much worse (I. E. Crossing traffic, train tracks, etc. . . ) at less than 70,000 miles, there shouldn't be spontaneous transmission problems which proved to be common with this vehicle.

6 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 08/08/2013

My two children and I were traveling on a highly elevated ramp between major highways in san antonio (281 and 1604) when my car no longer would move into a higher gear and suddenly stalled at its current speed. The engine roared, but the car would not go faster. The traffic behind me almost hit me, as I unexpectedly was not increasing speed as one would typically do entering a highway. It was extremely frightening to all three of us (especially my 9 year old) and required our exiting the highway immediately. The problem continued, and we immediately took the car into the dealership service center. The technician was able to determine the problem quickly, because it has been a frequent repair. The "wave plate" failure led to the failed transmission with additional engine problems. The bill exceeds $6000. Both the near accident and cost have been highly stressful. We want gm to address this "wave plate /transmission" issue before more people almost get hurt. The forums for gm vehicles containing this part have dozens of complaints already.

7 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 07/08/2009

The vehicle repeatedly stalls at random times. This includes at high speed, in the middle of the eisenhower tunnel on I-70, to driving down the street. Repeated visits to the dealership reveal no "codes" so it continues to be ignored. My wife will not drive it anymore so I do. The dealership says "trade it in" but we feel like we would be passing a coffin onto another family. My family has been killed nearly twice from stalling in tunnel and high traffic.
