Driving vehicle would not get out of first gear. Decide to get vehicle home so I turned around and found that I did not have reserve also. On way back home transmission made a loud clunking sound and the check engine light came on. Was able to get home and park the car. Called tow truck to take to the dealers. This vehicle only has 23,773 miles on it. Dealer had to overhaul 3-5-r clutch housing.

4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/11/2016

I was driving with my family in our new 2016 Buick Enclave when I went to pass someone on a city street and the engine went into full acceleration. I put my foot on the brakes as hard as I could but it did not stop the vehicle. I had to put it into neutral and turn off the ignition and coast to the side of the road. Luckly there weren't many cars around me at the time. I was unable to get the vehicle started right away and I notified on star sos and they notified the police. It was towed to a Buick dealer where they are looking at it now. This was an extremely dangerous and frightening experience for me and my family.

When stopped on a incline and you step on brake the transmission will go out of gear ,then when you start off you have to hold brake till transmission engages, it is really scary , I have almost rolled back into another car several times . Went back to place we bought the car new , they said it must be a safety feature, it is not ! my wife is scared to even drive , love the car except for this !.
