Consumer Description

MY 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION GO OUT AT AT 135,000 AS WE WERE TRAVELING HOME FROM MY PARENTS HOUSE AND LEFT US STRANDED ABOUT 60 MILES FROM HOME. AFTER THIS HAPPENED I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR OTHERS AS WELL. NOW AT 148,000 THE TIMING CHAIN IS STRETCHED AND CAUSED THE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL WARNING TO COME ON AND OFF, EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TRACTION CONTROL. THIS CAUSES THE TRACTION CONTROL TO STOP WORKING WHEN IT IS FEBURARY IN MINNESOTA AND STILL HAVE SNOW AND ICE.
