NHTSA Complaint #11331938 — 2020 BUICK ENCLAVE

BOUGHT BRAND NEW 2020 BUICK ENCLAVE, WITH 4 MILES ON IT, ON 6/13/20. STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS ALMOST IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WOULD JERK HARD (HARD SHIFT) WHEN PUSHING ON THE GAS AND ALSO ANYTIME IT WAS PLACED IN PARK. ON 6/21/20 THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE VEHICLE WOULD BARELY SHIFT. CALLED LOCAL BUICK - GM DEALERSHIP TO GET REPAIRED. LOCAL SHOP RESTARTED COMPUTER ON 6/24/20 AND SAID THAT IT WAS GOOD TO GO. DROVE IT LESS THAN 3 MILES BEFORE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON AND JOLTING STARTED AGAIN. ON THE DRIVE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP THE VEHICLE CAME TO A HARD JOLTING ABRUPT STOP ON THE ROAD. VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START OR SHIFT. HAD TO LEAVE VEHICLE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD UNTIL DEALERSHIP COULD COME GET IT. ON 6/26/20 DEALERSHIP CALLED TO SAY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RUNNING GOOD AND READY TO PICK UP. ON 6/27/20 DROVE CAR ABOUT 15 MINUTES BEFORE THE HARD SHIFT STARTED HAPPENING AGAIN AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. WHEN ATTEMPTING TO SHIFT INTO REVERSE, THE VEHICLE HARD JOLTED US BACKWARDS AND THEN DIED. THE VEHICLE WOULD NO LONGER START OR SHIFT GEARS. ON 6/28/20 GOT THE VEHICLE TO START SO DROVE THE VEHICLE, AS IT WAS STILL HARD SHIFTING, BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DROPPED IT OFF. THE DEALERSHIP STILL HAS IT AS OF TODAY AND HAS REFUSED TO GIVE US ANY PAPERWORK FROM OUR PREVIOUS 2 ATTEMPTS AT GETTING IT FIXED HOWEVER GAVE US FALSIFIED DOCUMENTATION STATING THAT WE ONLY BROUGHT IT IN THE SHOP 1 TIME, WHEN IT ACTUALLY IS THE 3RD TIME TO BE TAKEN IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEM TO BE FIXED. GM HAS REFUSED TO REPLACE THIS DEFECTIVE VEHICLE NOR RETURN OUR MONEY PAID FOR IT.
