You will just be driving down the road and then get the check engine light, engine power reduced, traction control off, and service stabilitrak warning on the dash board. You can be going 60 and it will just shut down with no warning. It's been to the shop 3 times and the issue is still unresolved. This is highly dangerous and could cause an accident.
Ac issue causing it hot to be in vehicle in this hot drought we are in. Ac blows hot indicating that there is a leak in the system of freon. This needs to be fixed as I was researching I found many others complaint of the same year 2013 Buick Enclave having the same issue. In the south it is too hot and not safe for anyone to be in a vehicle with out a working ac and costly to find issues to fix the entirety of the ac in a vehicle to fix. Please help!.
After any amount of rain, the vehicle will not shut off after turning the key to the "off" position and removing the keys. The vehicles dash lights all go off with the exception of the "check engine light". The vehicle remains running. I have to pull a fuse to get it to shut off. Then, the next morning I have to jump it to get it to start.
Automatic lift gate lifts up just fine and as your putting stuff in the hatch it collapses on top of you.
Side object detection module has an internal open signal. Replacement cost exceeds $500. 00. Odometer reading at time of detection was 83,218 miles. Vehicle was/is in motion.
I purchased this vehicle on 05/25/2017. I noticed that night that the service air bag light kept coming on. I looked it up and found that some of these models had recalls on the air bag system. I am trying to find out if there is a recall(s) on this vehicle and if so have they been resolved or how do I get them resolved?.
Recently, the vehicle has started shutting off while driving. On September 13, 2014, while driving the vehicle, the “service battery charging system” light came on. I immediately contacted the dealership, which instructed me to bring the vehicle in. When I dropped the vehicle off at the dealership, the service technician saw the service light. The dealership inspected the vehicle over the next couple days and stated it was not able to find a problem. I picked the vehicle up the morning of September 17, 2014. Within hours of picking up the vehicle from the dealership, I was driving the vehicle to lunch when, in the middle of a turn, the vehicle shut off and lost all power, including the power steering, making it hard to turn. The power came back on within a few seconds. When I told my wife what had happened, she informed me the same thing happened to her while parked – the vehicle shut off and lost all power. I immediately contacted the dealership and was instructed to bring the vehicle back to the dealership. The dealership kept the vehicle several days. Initially, the dealership informed me it was not able to locate a problem. The dealership kept the vehicle a few extra days to further inspect the vehicle. During this time, the dealership informed me the vehicle lost power while it was testing it as well. The dealership discovered a burnt terminal in the fuse box. The dealership replaced the fuse junction block, and my wife picked the vehicle up from the dealership on September 23, 2014. On October 13, 2014, less than three weeks after the vehicle was purportedly repaired, the vehicle again shut off and lost all power while my wife was backing out of the driveway. The power returned within a few seconds.
