general problems of the 2011 Buick Enclave

While driving at 60 mph around a curve with an incoming semi, the car suddenly lost power and the steering locked up. By the grace of god, we were able to avoid the semi and get it off the road. Had it towed to mechanic who said the engine was blown. Regular maintenance always kept. Just had oil changed two weeks ago. This could have been deadly!!!.

The check engine light comes on and off. The dealer pulled code p0008. Engine position system performance bank. There is a bulletin out for this code, indicating the crankshaft moves and gets out of time. They said the only fix is to replace the crankshaft. The dealer advised replacing the engine, since the cost is about the same, $9,864. 21. I have kept up the maintenance on the vehicle, and it has only 132,820 miles.

I brought it in on 11/19/19 at 3p. M. I asked the service department what was the problem because the vehicle won't crank. They told me that it is the crankshaft sensor. I told the salesman that you knew it was the crankshaft sensor and you put my safety at risk. Because you and the service department and dealership knew that the crankshaft sensor was faulty and my safety was at risk. He said to me and my husband that he knew and said that he should have given me a loaner car. But he never told me about it.

On three separate occasions in the past month my car lost power while I was driving. Fortunately, I was on city streets when this occurred and I was able to coast to the side of the road and restart the engine. I brought my car in to my Buick dealer after the 2nd occurrence and they could find nothing wrong with it. When it happened again last week I noticed that right before I lost power the small wallet that is part of my key chain had fallen from the top of the steering wheel (where I keep it so it doesn't hit my leg). Thinking it may have jerked the ignition slightly and that may have been part of the power issue, I googled "Buick Enclave ignition issues" when I returned home. Immediately all of the gm ignition problems of the past few years came up; including the frightening news that my car had the exact same ignition as the recalled cars but that gm believed something about the design of the Enclave (and other suvs in its class) meant that the ignition was not a problem. I am here to tell you that it is, indeed, a problem. I brought my car back to the dealer on Monday and they again can "find nothing wrong with it. " I have contacted gm and let them know I will not accept this vehicle until the ignition is replaced. No one should be driving this car. I shudder to think about the consequences if I had been driving my usual carpool of 5 12-year-old boys. Indeed, twice when I lost power I was in the car with my child. I am convinced this is a major problem and that everyone who owns one of these cars must be alerted to the possibiltiy of power loss.

While traveling with cruise control set to 79 mph, I accelerated to pass a semi that was driving erratically. After passing, I let off the gas but the gas pedal stuck. None of the cruise control buttons would work to slow us, the brakes would not slow us, eventually placing the car in neutral allowed us to safely stop along the road. Buick customer support basically said there's nothing wrong and until there's more incidents they won't do anything.

I was driving on a 2 lane road in a 55mph zone, at 40mph accelerated to pass a vehicle and accelerator pedal took over and accelerated to 87 mph and would not release. Brake was stiff and would not slow vehicle or release accelerator. After 30 seconds of jiggling gas and brake pedals it came back under control and released. Rpm guage was going up and down at this time as well. This problem nearly caused a crash if another car was in the lane or oncoming traffic.
