NHTSA Complaint #10660537 — 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE

AT APPROXIMATELY 67,000 MILES, THE RPMS IN MY 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE STARTED GOING WACKY AND I COULD NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL. IT FELT LIKE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS, SO I TOOK MY ENCLAVE TO THE DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY. TURNED OUT THE 35R WAVE PLATE WAS BROKEN -- DEBRIS THROUGHOUT TRANSMISSION -- AND $2700 LATER THEY RETURNED MY ENCLAVE TO ME WITH A REPAIRED/REBUILT TRANSMISSION. I WAS EXTREMELY FORTUNATE I WAS NOT REAR-ENDED WHEN MY CAR LOST ALL POWER AS I HAD TO LITERALLY LIMP MY ENCLAVE INTO THE DEALERSHIP. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS, I FOUND THAT THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE IS EXTREMELY WIDESPREAD AMONG OWNERS OF THE 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE, BUT NEITHER NHTSA NOR GM IS MOVING ON INVESTIGATING AND SOLVING THIS PROBLEM. ALL PARTIES SEEM TO BE KICKING THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD UNTIL SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED AND THEN MAYBE SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN. ISSUE A RECALL NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE !!! *TR
