I had the recall done on my vehicle as part of the 2015/2016 liftgate recall. I have had no problems since. This morning when getting into the back of my car, the liftgate started to close on it's own with no warning (beeping or lights) and hit me on the head. Even though it is supposed to open again when it detects an object in the way, it continued to push close on me. I had to force the liftgate up while it was pushing down. I tried turning the power off and the liftgate won't stay open at all. I tried propping something under it to keep it open, but due to the weight of the liftgate, I cannot keep it open. I effectively can no longer safely use the back of my vehicle for storage, as I am afraid the door will try to close on me every time. I have read that it is an electrical/software issue, as well as an issue with the struts on the door. I had the software upgraded, but the struts were not replaced as part of the original recall. The only electrical issues I've had are that the actuators for my heating & a/c are not switching over. Because of this my defrost and front vents don't work. I live in an area where it is below freezing in the winter. The defrost not working has caused safety issues because the windows will fog up suddenly while I'm driving. I have to pull over often to squeegee the fog off the inside of the windows so I can see while driving. Tried replacing the parts ourselves, and it still doesn't work. I have also had issues with the radio/entertainment system. It randomly changes between band, cd, aux input, satellite radio and usb with no input from me. Although this is more of a nuisance than a safety issue, I fear it points to a larger electrical problem. I have taken my vehicle to a dealership for the actuator and entertainment system problems and was told they can't replicate the issue, so they can't fix it. Does it every time I drive.

I have a 2013 Buick Enclave and for the past 5-6 months, the traction control off message and engine powering down message continue to pop up and my car while driving on the highway and goes into limp mode and quickly dies. I have to let it sit for a few minutes and then it resets but the engine light remains on. I have taken it into the mechanic and most recently the dealership but they have replaced everything twice and have not been able to diagnose the problem. So far the alternator has been changed, had two engine belts replaced, ignition and relay switches changed, updated all the software with no luck and about 7k in charges.
