NHTSA Complaint #10599191 — 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE

WE LOST OUR TRANSMISSION ENTERING ONTO A BUSY INTERSTATE! NO INDICATOR LIGHTS EVER CAME ON UNTIL IT HAPPENED. WE ARE NOT IN THE HABIT OF BEATING OUR VEHICLES. WE ARE A RETIRED. THIS I FEEL IS A DEFECT IN SOMETHING. THERE WERE MANY CARS COMING BEHIND US ON THE RAMP. IT WAS A 2 LANE RAMP THAT WENT TO ONE LANE. I GOT INTO THE RIGHT LANE WHEN I NOTICED THE PROBLEM THAT THE CAR WAS JERKING AND WOULD GO INTERMITTENTLY. I SAYED RIGHT UNTIL I COULD GET TO A PULL OVER AREA. FULL LINES OF TRAFFIC BEHIND US WERE HAVING TO SLOW DOWN WHICH IT LOOKED PRETTY SCAREY WHEN I LOOKED IN THE REAR VIEW MIRROR. MY HUSBAND AND I FEEL THAT THE WAY WE DRIVE SHOULD NOT MAKE US LOSE A TRANSMISSION. ALSO, WHEN WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE WE TOOK IT IN FOR A STEERING SQUEEK, LOUD, AND WERE TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG. IT STILL SQUEEKS AND WORSE. WE ARE HAVING THAT LOOKED AT NOW, AGAIN! WE DO NOT TRUST THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED IT NEW. *TR
