MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING HOME FROM A SUMMER VACATION AND WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY SUDDENLY HEARD A LOUD ALMOST GUN SHOT SOUND. WE WERE SURROUNDED BY TONS OF HUGE 18 WHEELERS SO WE ASSUMED SOMETHING FROM ONE OF THE TRUCKS HIT US. AS WE KEPT DRIVING, WE KEPT HEARING NOISES SO WE PULLED OVER AND LOOKED AROUND THE WHOLE CAR BUT DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING, UNTIL THE PASSENGER LOOKED UP AND SAW THAT THE SUN ROOF WAS SHATTERED. LUCKILY THE INSIDE OF OUR SUNROOF HAS TINY, SO IT WAS KIND OF STAYING TOGETHER. SINCE WE WERE ON THE ROAD, FAR FROM HOME MY DAD FOUND SOME CLEAR TAPE AND TAPED BOTH SIDES OF THE ROOF, SO THAT THE GLASS WOULDN'T FALL ON THEM DURING THE DRIVE. LUCKILY IT DID NOT RAIN, OR OUR TRIP WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY RUINED. WE STILL HAVE ISSUES WITH THE ROOF TO THIS DAY, EVEN THOUGH...

2008 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE LEAKING *TGW. THE CONSUMER STATED WATER WAS LEAKING INTO THE VEHICLE FROM THE SUNROOF. *JB

WATER LEAK IN FRONT OF SUN ROOF. GETS PROGRESSIVELY WORSE WITH RAIN AND IN TIME. *KB

THE FIRST PROBLEM THAT OCCURRED WAS THE ENGINE OVERHEATED AND THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED. CAR WAS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD WITH 20,140 MILES ON IT. SINCE THEN THE MAIN PROBLEMS HAVE BEEN WITH THE SUNROOF LEAKING. THIS CAUSED THE BLOWER MOTOR TO FAIL. THE WATER LEAKS HAVE HAPPENED AT LEAST 4 TIMES. THE DRAINS KEEP CLOGGING. THERE IS NO FIX FOR THIS ACCORDING TO THE DEALER. NOT ACCEPTABLE! THEY TOLD ME NOT TO PARK UNDER TREES. ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I'VE HAD SUNROOFS BEFORE AND NEVER HAD A PROBLEM. THE RECALL FOR THE DRAIN EXTENSIONS DID NOTHING. EVENTUALLY THERE WILL BE OTHER PROBLEMS. WHO KNOWS WHAT ELSE IS GETTING WET WHERE I CAN'T SEE IT. MOLD IS INEVITABLE. I HAVE 3 KIDS AND THIS IS RIDICULOUS. I DIDN'T SPEND ALL THIS MONEY FOR A PIECE OF JUNK! I WILL NEVER BUY GM AGAIN IF THEY DON'T DO...

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP X 1 FOR A LEAK IN THE SUNROOF. I AM NOW ON MY SECOND ATTEMPT TO GET THE VEHICLE REPAIRED. ON THE PREVIOUS LEAK WATER COULD BE HEARD IN THE DASH WHILE TURNING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY, THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK AT THAT TIME WAS NEAR THE PASSENGER SIDE A POST. THIS CURRENT LEAK IS ALSO ON THE SAME POST BUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. THIS TIME I HAD MY BRAKE LIGHT FLASHING ON AND OFF WITH MY PARKING ASSIST LAMPS. AN AUDIBLE CHIME COULD ALSO BE HEARD. THEIR IS AN OBVIOUS HISTORY OF PROBLEMS WITH THIS SPECIFIC BODY FROM ALL OF THE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND ONLINE. I AM CONCERNED FOR THE HEALTH AND SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AS WE DRIVE IN A CAR THAT MAY HAVE MOLD AND THE POSSIBILITY OF ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL OUT OR...
