general problems of the 2009 Buick Enclave

The seat caught on fire. Origin of fire started in the seat according to fire officials.

We replaced coil 4 and 2 back in Dec 2015, then number 1 on 10-30-2017, and now they are stating numbers 3 and 5 are bad. . . Is this normal? do we have a defective car? all of the gm cars we have owned, we have never have to replace 1 much less 5!!.

The contact owns a 2009 Buick Enclave. While driving 10 mph and making a right turn, the contact noticed that the graco child safety seat that was latched in the second row seating on the driver side was moving. The contact also mentioned that the daytime running lights failed to operate, as well as the key fobs. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and dealer several times for the lights and key fobs, where the battery and sensor have ben replaced in the key fob and the bulbs have been replaced for the light. However, the failures recurred several times afterwards. The vehicle was not diagnosed for the seat belt issue. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was approximately 110,000.

My Enclave 2009 was caught fire when it was parked stationary in a garage at 9:40am on 5/30/2016. The fire started from the right front of the vehicle, which results in the whole car totaled. Me and my family have been suffering much from this event. It¿s hard to believe it happened to our vehicle. This vehicle has low mileage (about 30,000), well maintained by us and gm shop in the past (all the records are available in gm system). On 5/31 we reported to gm with detailed information and requested an investigation. On 6/2, customer department contacted me, stating that they don¿t care about the cause of the fire and they don¿t involve in an investigation as we have our insurance covered. I told them no matter our insurance company initiates an investigation or not, as the manufacturer, gm needs to check this vehicle and take responsibility and improve its product if there is a deficit in gm engine. However they still asserted that they don¿t take care of such case. I have kept the record of our conversation in case needed. It¿s an unhappy experience. All the evidence we got so far suggested it¿s the problem of the electronical system/engine. We don¿t want it to happen to other people. We hope gm to have someone to initiate an investigation ASAP.

Car spuddering on acceleration and inclines. Check engine light on. Needs all spark plugs and coils replaced again. Codes p0300, p0302, p0303 stored. Miss fire on 2 and 3 cyclinders. Also, needs replace line and recharge system as ac discharge line is leaking.

My back hatch just started opening on its own. Motor in the lock keeps running. Now my driver side lock won't work. When in park, door lock pops up but inside handle still locked. Now indoor lock being difficult.

Battery was completely dead. Electrical system was shorted. Installed new battery. Vehicle started but would not shut off even with key removed. Check engine light stayed on and would not go off even with key removed. Found water leaked into dash. Checking internet brought other reports of other possible water leaks.

Power steering fails and the wheel is hard to steer to the left or right. It continues to get worse and worse. In addition, as we were driving down the street at about 30 mph and all of the electrical went out in the vehicle. We stopped the vehicle, restarted it, and the problem went away.
