1 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Check engine light illuminated due to transmission clutch not being adequate in manufacturing. Transmission causes motor to shudder due to clutches slipping.

3 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 04/15/2022

Vehicle has been to gm dealership many times for problems related to reduced engine power, stabilitrack, and traction control issues. Dealer replaced relay switches, problem appeared to be fixed. While driving on a busy road, engine power reduced, stabilitrack, and traction control warnings illuminated. Car reduced speed nearly causing an accident while driving and power steering failed. Police needed to help remove car from roadway. Ecm replaced, appeared fixed for awhile. While driving on highway 54, same warnings illuminated and car slowed itself from 60mph to under 30mph. Numerous complaints can be found about the 2013 Buick Enclave and other years and this problem. I believe it will cause an accident and kill someone one day, if it hasn't already. Class action suit was even filed, and unfortunately dismissed. I'm afraid to drive my car. It is at the dealership again and we've only owned it since February 2022.

5 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 12/11/2018

The car started dying whether I'm on the highway going 65 or stopped or accelerating. . . So many different circumstances. . The car will be going along fine and all of a sudden it says traction control off, service stabilitrak system, engine power reduced and then it dies. . . It does all of this in a matter of 3 seconds then I'm left trying to steer with no power steering. This has happened probably 35 to 40 times in the few months that I have had the car. Yesterday was just the last time.

6 Engine And Engine Cooling problem

Failure Date: 03/21/2018

On 3/21/18 I was pulling out of a gas station to head to work. My traction control light lit up as well as my engine light. Warnings went across my dash stating "traction control off" "service stabilitrack" "engine power reduced" I couldn't go over 40mph. I made it back to work. After work only the engine light was on. The next day I drove it and by the afternoon the engine light had gone off. This morning, 3/23/18 I drove to work without any complications. Due to weather we closed our office early. I pulled out of the parking lot and my traction control lit up as well as my engine light. All three warnings went across my dash again and this time I could not go above 20mph. I made it home with my flashers on. Once I got home I let my car sit for a couple hours and then took it around the block. Again only my engine light was on. We will take it to the shop once the weather clears.
