Check Engine Light On problems of the 2010 Buick Enclave

The 2010 Buick Enclave has been well kept. I had just purchased it and only drove it for 2 months. I was driving on the freeway at 70miles per hour then the check engine light came on and the car lost power down to 40miles I had to pull off the freeway. Almost hit. The hole system shut down it wouldn't start at all had it towed to the dealer they said the timing chain jummped and locked up your motor it will be 10 thousand to fix I dont have that kind of money so now I m paying a loan on a car that does not work.

Tl-the contact owns a 2010 Buick Enclave. The contact stated while driving at various speeds the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a independent mechanic where a diagnoses test was performed and determined that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure recurred multiple times. The dealer john paul's Buick GMC 3615 s 108th st, greenfield, WI 53228 (414) 482-6246 was contacted and made aware of the failure and informed the contact that no recall was under the VIN. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and provided the contact with case number:9-5585597823 but no further assistance was taken. The failure mileage was approximate 114,753. Ck.

Check engine light came on, originally read the codes as cylinder misfire 1,3,5. Timing chain inside the engine is stretched and means a very costly repair at 145k miles. Very common problem with these.

The initial complaint was the check engine light and a repair was made that didnt fix the problem. The light came back on while driving and it was the timing chain and it needed to be replaced. The vehicle only had 47,000 miles on it.

Vehicle hesitation while accelerating. Check engine light comes on. Code was p0008 requiring new timing chanis to be installed for $3,200. Vehicle only has 80k miles on it.

The check engine light came up on my 2010 Buick Enclave cxl approximately 3 months ago (September 2017), however, when I went to get the check engine light diagnosed it turned off. This came back on in October 2017, but because it happened late at night I decided to go to a local autozone and they ran a diagnostic and informed me that it indicated that it was the timing chain and needed to be replaced. When I took this to the local dealer, the check engine light was no longer on, and they indicated they could not accept the diagnostic from the local autozone. The check engine has again turned on (December 2017) and indicates that there is a bad timing chain that need to be replaced. Earlier Enclave models had this issue, and the manufacturer extended the warranty to replace the timing chain to 10 years or 120,000. In all three cases, the vehicle was in motion when the check engine came up.

My 2010 Buick blew a puff of white smoke and then lost power on a busy street with my wife and kids in the car. Luckily my wife managed to get it pulled off the side of the road without being hit by other cars. A gm mechanic replaced one injector at $510. 00 and said we were good to go. The check engine light came on 2 days later and that code showed the timing chain. Now, the Buick dealership wants $3000. 00 to put a new timing chain in it. $3000. 00 is only if there is nothing else wrong!!! why is this problem not a manufacture recall?!.

Tl-the contact owns 2010 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle would hesitate, with the traction warning light illuminated as well as the check engine warning light. The contact mentioned the failure occurred on several occasions. The contact stated that the vehicle has taken to several independent mechanics where diagnostic testing was done on vehicle and indicating that the timing chain needed to be replaced. The vehicle has not been repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage was approximately 98,000. Aa.

Check engine light came on at 71000 miles. After two separate diagnostic checks at two different locations, both matched with diagnosis of issue with a bad timing chain. Vehicle is tagged as 2010 even though label inside car shows as being actually having been manufactured in 09/2009. Discussions with dealership where purchased and Buick themselves led to no action in terms of warranty/recall/special conditions coverage - even though this was a known issue on the Enclaves produced between 2007-2009. Initial estimates for the work, including labor exceeding $3000. Nhtsa 10052863 shows that 2008-2012 Buick Enclaves and the availability of 3 service kits for high feature v6 engine applications. Further, it shows that these kits should be used on vehicles covered under the terms of the any warranty or special coverage terms. Yet for some reason, the 2010 hasn't been assigned 'special coverage' terms.

Check engine light came on while driving on the interstate highway, the vehicle lost power, reducing the speed to 35 mph in a 70 mph interstate. The vehicle cut off and would not restart. It was towed to the repair shop which identified it as timing chain stretched. On-line research shows that the timing chain has been an issue with Buick, and they extended the power train warranty to cover repairs for the 2008-2009 model. It appears that the same or similar problem is occurring with the 2010 model. A major issue when you are traveling at 70 mph and suddenly your engine loses power and you find yourself doing only 35mph with no power and then it stops suddenly.

It appears that the same or similar problem is occurring with the 2010 model. The problem did not manifest itself until after the 5 year/100,000 m warranty expired. The dealership confirmed the problem was a stretched timing chain and replaced it. However, it appears that this is a recurring problem with the vehicle.

I was driving at 75 mph and my engine shut off; car began to slow, fuel dropped, power steering went out, brakes didn't work. I was able to, thankfully, get to the side of the road safely and use the rumble strips to slow me down. I turned the car off and 5 min. Later turned it on and was able to drive to a safe location. This is a common issue and all of these conditions are related to the "limited warranty protection" that gm issued Nov. 2015 (14582). This is a safety hazard. My car experienced all the other condition, malfunction indicator light came on multiple times ( may, sept), was issued a letter in Nov. 2015 and then this occurred in Jan. 2016. Stipulation for this to be covered, under 120k miles of 10 years whichever first. My car experienced initial troubles at 110k in may and this potential fatal incident at 125. Arguing with gm over this. Should be a recall, not a limited warranty. Seems to be an unethical company. Does it take death to make this right? this has occurred countlesss times- check the internet, 100s of customers have reported this. Does this have to be another Toyota incident for gm to recognize this is a recall not a limited warranty! I have all paperwork showing the issues except dealer states since they can't replicate, they need the check engine light on and the car to be under 120k to determine if they should pay. Gm is unethical!!!.

Check engine light went on. Car was seemingly working alright, however, after fueling up, it was difficult to restart the car. In fact, at the last fill up I was unable to start the car for over 20 minutes while at the gas pump. This caused a great deal of anger, frustration, and rage in the other drivers who were waiting to fuel their cars at very busy gas station near lax. The dealership stated the fuel sensors needed to be replaced at a total cost of $1700. 00. Two months prior the air conditioner/heater required repair as a hose needed to be replaced due to a leak, a $425 repair, furthermore, the steering problem we seemingly had corrected 3 years ago is occurring again and is need of another repair. And lastly, 50% of the time when I turn off the engine and pull the key out of the car, the engine continues to run. The occurred around 80-85,000 miles.

On July 12, 2012 while entering the interstate the check engine light and traction stability service light came on. The car would not accelerate or shift, I could not increase speed to merge into highway traffic, as I tried to merge the vehicle slowly increased speed, not normally accelerating. I eventually was able to get to 55 mph. The next time I drove the car it acted fine. Two days later while driving at 60 mph on the interstate without warning the check engine light, traction stability service warning light, the abs brake warning light all came on the brakes felt like mush, the car slowed in traffic, all while in the passing lane with traffic behind me. This created an extremely dangerous condition that could have easily resulted in serious injury or death. I eventually was able to move to the middle lane (3 lane roadway) and nursed the vehicle destination. When I started out again it acted fine w/check engine light and traction system warning light on then w/out warning while trying to enter the interstate again all gauges failed, ac shut off, cruise control power went off, the vehicle would not accelerate, would not shift, speed slowed from 30 to near 20, then systems started to turn back one at a time & was able to nurse the car home at 50 - 55 mph, it would not shift or accelerate correctly. Took vehicle to dealer,where purchased, they had the vehicle for 2 1/2 weeks called me stated "we can not get it to act up, come and pick up car" not repaired. I asked about codes in computer, I have a copy of these, they stated they were history codes not hard codes. When I asked about them forcing me to drive a dangerous vehicle, could cause serious injury or death, they said if it acts up to bring it back. Within 12 hrs the same events occurred as listed above. I drove it to them while all warning lights were on. They still have car it has not been repaired yet.
