Consumer Description
2011 BUICK ENCLAVE MAKES A WHINING NOISE WHEN ACCELERATING, TURNING AND SLOWING DOWN. DEALERSHIP INFORMED ME THAT CAR IS "COLD" AND NEEDS WARMING UP BECAUSE TEMPERATURE HAS CHANGED. HOWEVER, MY CAR WAS MAKING THIS NOISE JUST NOT AS BAD DURING THE SUMMER. I ASKED IF IT WAS THE POWER STEERING PUMP OR IF I NEEDED FLUID. THEY INFORMED ME THEY CAPPED OFF THE FLUID DURING EACH OF MY SERVICE VISITS BUT THE NOISE IS STILL THERE. NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO TAKE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE FOR A SECOND OPINION AFTER READING OTHER PEOPLE'S ISSUES WITH THEIR ENCLAVE. MY ISSUE IS ALWAYS DURING START UP, TURNING AND STOPPING WHICH IS A HUGE PROBLEM. IT HAS BEEN ESCALATING FOR THE PAST FEW MONTHS. IT'S WORST NOW.
