Consumer Description

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.
