Consumer Description

MY CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THE WHOLE TIME I'VE HAD IT. I'VE HAD TO HAVE REPLACED THE MOTOR FOR THE ELECTRIC SEAT, THE HINGE MOUNTS FOR THE LIFT GATE, THE DVD PLAYER, AND AN OIL LEAK FIXED. NOW THE 3/5/R WAVE PLATE HAS BROKEN. WHAT'S UP WITH THE BUICK ENCLAVES? THEY COST TOO MUCH FOR ALL THESE ITEMS TO BREAK AND NEED REPLACING. I COULD UNDERSTAND IF THE SUV WAS ABUSED AND NOT MAINTAINED. IF I WANTED TO HAVE MY CAR IN THE SHOP ALL THE TIME, I WOULD HAVE BOUGHT A CLUNKER. WHY DOESN'T GMC HAVE A RECALL FOR SOME OF THESE ITEMS, ESPECIALLY THE TRANSMISSION 3/5/R WAVE PLATE. IT ISN'T SAFE WHEN IT GOES OUT AND YOU ARE ON THE ROAD. I HAVE GRANDCHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS SUV. WE COULD BE KILLED. GMC NEEDS TO WAKE UP BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED IN REGARDS TO THIS PROBLEM. *TR
