Steering wheel airbag warning. Seat belts fraying. The underneath welding for the support bar, potentially the rear axel, came unwelded.
The tailgate lifts up and then slams down violently.
What does it mean when my car says service stabilitrak and service traction control? its main function is indicating that the traction system has been turned off manually to remind you to turn it back on when necessary. However, the stabilitrak warning light may also signal potential damage to vehicle components that allow the system to work effectively. Loss of power to engine, can't stear, feels like its about to blow up. It seems very usual for the Enclaves, traverses and acadias. And I had the same problem out of my 2014 traverse ltz.
The hatch door slam down by its self and it hit my daughter and my husband two different times because it slam down with no warning .
The rear power lift gate does not stay up and closes suddenly and has caused several minor injuries to my family. I noticed there was potentially a recall for this issue for Enclaves made between 2010 and March of 2012 but it doesn't seem to be associated to my specific VIN.
My tailgate suddenly closes. There was a recall NHTSA # 15v415000 for this issue but my VIN # was not included. My make year and problem matches the recall.
Continual ac leaks. I have put so much money into repairs for the ac and when it leaks a white gas pours out of the vents. This link shows others having much the same issues I am experiencing with my car. Https://forums. Edmunds. Com/discussion/11919/Buick/enclave/Buick-enclave-ac-problems/p11 I'm putting most recent date below although I have had my car in the shop on multiple occasions. Just had it repaired a month and a half ago and freon is empty again.
Liftgate comes crashing down after opening and staying up for a few seconds.
While driving during light acceleration a mild to violent shudder occurs causing reduction or loss of controll gm states its normal. No specific speed happens any time at random. After researching extensively it is a common problem among this line of vehicles. Vehicle is an all wheel drive Buick Enclave platnum edition. No problem or solution is found. This is dangerous.
When we press the lifgate button to close it, it will godown and you think it's closing and it makes noises and raises again. Does this several times then you have to press hard and it will finally latch. I just bought this and did not think to check the lift gate on the car lot and was at a store opening it for the first time and it did this scared me I was going to be able to close it to go home.
The hatchback slams shut randomly. It always closes on its own while people are under it.
Liftgate failure and slams shut after opening.
Power lift gate struts failed. This was a recall on other 2012 models. I had to pay $1113. 21 for this repair. This created a safety hazard. This liftgate fell on my daughter. We caught it but she could have been hurt.
Gm had recall on power lift gate were struts were failing and falling down on people December 2015 they didn't replace struts(said they were good)and just repositioned them(band aid fix)my wife was hit with lift gate in the back(liftgate came crashing down). I took it to dealer for them to fix. I was told that since the fixed they did in Dec 2015 lasted more than 90 days they weren't liable to repair it. Gm doesn't care aboutr the health and safety of their customers. They should be made liable to fix and replace the gas struts on these power lift gates before someone becomes serious hurt. $40,000 dollar car and they just don't care. It's a 2012 bucik Enclave. I was never told that recall fixes only lasted 90 days?.
