2010 BUICK ENCLAVE Unknown Or Other Problems

Bad timing chain at 141,000 miles

WHILE DRIVING IN SINGLE DIGIT TEMPS IN ICY ROAD CONDITIONS IN TRAFFIC USING THE BRAKES A LOT MY TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME IN AND I GOT A SERVICE YOUR TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM AND ENGINE POWER WAS REDUCED CAUSING ME TO NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AND DANGEROUS ROAD CONDITIONS. TRACTION CONTROL WILL NOT COME BACK ON AFTER THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TURNED OFF AND RESTARTED. ROAD CONDITIONS WERE SO BAD TRAFFIC WAS MOVING 5-10MPH ON HIGHWAY. THE REDUCED ENGINE POWER HAPPENED AS SOON AS I STARTED TURNING RIGHT ON ANOTHER ROAD DUE TO HOW SLICK THE HIGHWAY WAS.

/ I AM DRIVING MY BUICK ENCLAVE AND THE MOMENT I MOVE MY STEERING WHEEL A NOISE LIKE A VERY LOUD HUM STARTS, I EITHER WHEN PARKING IT IS VERY EMBARRASSING FOR ME BECAUSE EVERYONE IS AROUND ME THEY TURN AND CRITICIZE ME BECAUSE I AM NOT GOING TO THE MECHANIC TO REPAIR MY ENCLAVE AND ANOTHER PROBLEM I HAVE IS THAT THE BACK DOOR IF IT OPENS WITH THE CONTROL BUT WHEN TRYING TO CLOSE IT IF IT GOES DOWN TO CLOSE BUT BECOMES OPEN AGAIN IT IS AS IF THERE WAS AN OBSTACLE THAT DOES NOT LET IT CLOSE COMPLETELY

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY GET STUCK AND DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED NO MATTER IF U RELEASE THE GAS OR PRESS ON THE GAS. THE GAR DOES NOT PICK UP SPEED AT ALL AND THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS.I HAVE PUT CLOSE TO $1000 IN THIS VEHICLE IN A MONTH TRYING TO CORRECT THIS SCARY PROBLEM WHILE I AM DRIVING ON THE HWY AND CITY STREETS AS WELL AS TURNIG.

SINCE I BOUGHT MY 2010 BUICK I'VE NOTHING BUT PROBLEM AFTER PROBLEM.. FOR SOME REASON THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALWAYS SEEMS TO COME ON, SUSPENSION MAKES NOISE, AND STEERING SYSTEM IS MAKING NOISE..

HVAC TEMPERATURE DOES NOT WORK ON PASSENGER SIDE; RIGHT SIDE TEMPERATURE MODE DOOR ACTUATOR HAS FAILED. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IT HAS HAPPENED. 2013 AND NOW 2018.

IN KROGER PARKING LOT JUST NOW, PARKED IN A PARKING PLACE AND TRYING TO LOAD GROCERIES. OPENED THE LIFT GATE LIKE NORMAL, MY MOTHER WAS INSIDE IT AND IT STARTED CLOSING IMMEDIATELY ON HER. SHE REACHED UP AND PUSHED IT UP SO SHE COULD GET OUT FROM UNDER IT AND IT STARTED TO GO UP AGAIN AND THEN STARTED CLOSING AGAIN. IT KEPT DINGING AS IT OPENED AND CLOSED. SHE TRIED TO OPEN IT AFTER IT WAS CLOSED FOR A MINUTE AND IT OPENED AND THEN SLAMMED SHUT HARD BEFORE IT OPENED ALL THE WAY.

STEERING: SEEMS VAGUE WHEN IN MOTION AT HIGHWAY SPEED. OTHER: REAR TAILGATE OPENS WHILE DRIVING, SITTING STILL W/O THE KEY IN THE IGNITION. CONTACTED GM AND CUSTOMER SERVICE TOLD ME IT WAS MY PROBLEM NOT THEIRS. ENGINE: SOUNDS LIKE A MEATGRINDER ON COLD START UP, IF THE ENGINE FAILS WILL LOOSE STEERING, BRAKES AND POSSIBLY CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE.

HELLO, WE HAVE JUST PURCHASED A USED 2010 ENCLAVE BUICK ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO AND HAVE JUST HIT THE 80,000 MILE MARK AND MY ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON AND THE DIAGNOSIS FOR THIS VEHICLE IS P0008. ON LINE THEY SHOW THE PREVIOUS MODELS TO MINE WHERE ALL RECALLED FOR THIS CODE ISSUE. MY CONCERN IS WAS THIS ISSUE FIXED FOR THESE NEWER MODELS OR IS THIS SOMETHING THAT WILL BE RECALLED IN THE FUTURE JUST LIKE THE OLDER MODELS DID. THERE ARE OTHERS CONCERNED WITH THIS SAME ISSUE SO I'M AWARE THAT WE ARE NOT THE ONLY ONES. THANKS YOU, P.S VERY HOPEFUL SOMEONE CAN HELP WOULD HATE TO SPEND ALL THAT MONEY ON A VEHICLE WE HAVE RECENTLY PURCHASED AND DOES NOT HAVE TOO MANY MILES.

AS I AM DRIVING THE CARS AUTO LOCKS WILL SUDDENLY UNLOCK AND LOCK THEN THE CAR GOES INTO NEUTRAL, RPM'S GO UP, CAR SLOWS DOWN AND THE ENGINE REVS, IT LASTS FOR 30 SEC OR SO THEN GOES BACK INTO DRIVE. HAS DONE IT AT 25 MPH ALL THE WAY UP TO 70 MPH, HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY NO RHYME OR REASON TO IT. VERY SCARY AND DANGEROUS, HAS HAPPENED 10-12 TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR, HAPPENED TWICE TODAY WHILE ON THE EXPRESSWAY, VERY SCARY. THE OTHER THING IT DOES IS IT WILL JERK, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, THINGS FLASH ON THE DASH, SERVICE STABILITRAC, PARK ASSIST OFF, TRACTION CONTROL OFF IT THEN WON'T SHIFT GEARS AND I HAVE TO STOP AND SHUT THE CAR OFF, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON FOR A DAY OR TWO. THESE ARE 2 SEPARATE ISSUES. HAVE HAD TO DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES, THEY SAY DON'T KNOW...

WATER IS LEAKING FROM FRONT WINDSHIELD ON BOTH THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR AND IS AFFECTING ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT, SUCH AS ONSTAR, ENGINE LIGHT, ETC.

REFERENCE COMPLAINT NUMBER: 10876974 HEATER/AIR CONDITIONER MOTOR SHORTLY AFTER REPLACING THE POWER STEERING PUMP & RACK AND PINION ON JUNE 17, 2015, MY AIR CONDITIONER BEGAN TO DRAIN IN MY CAR. I STOPPED AT HOLZHAUER MOTORS IN CHEROKEE, IOWA (AUTHORIZED DEALER) WHERE I HAD THE POWER STEERING PUMP & RACK AND PINION REPLACED AND STATED THAT MY AIR CONDITIONER WAS DRAINING IN MY CAR. THE SERVICE ADVISOR PULLED THE CAR IN THE SHOP AND STATED THAT THERE WAS A KINK IN THE HOSE AND THIS KINK HAD HAPPENED WHEN THEY REPLACED THE POWER STEERING PUMP & THE RACK AND PINION. ON THAT VISIT THE SERVICE ADVISOR STATED THAT IT HAD BEEN FIXED. ON JANUARY 11, 2016 I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN FOR A SCHEDULED LUBE OIL & FILTER CHANGE. I STATED TO THE SERVICE ADVISER THAT I WAS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE FAN NOT WANTING TO BLOW ANY HOT AIR....

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON AN HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE SKY ROOF ABOVE THE 2ND ROW SEATS SPONTANEOUSLY EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS ON AN OPEN 3 LANE HIGHWAY WITH LIMITED VEHICLE TRAFFIC. APPROXIMATE TEMPERATURE WAS 65 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND 70 DEGREES INSIDE. THE INCIDENT HAPPENED JUST BEFORE NOON ON SEPTEMBER 26TH IN CENTRAL WISCONSIN. THE RESULT WAS A HOLE THE SIZE OF A FOOTBALL IN THE CENTER OF THE GLASS. THE EDGES OF THE GLASS SURROUNDING THE HOLE WERE TILTED UPWARD AS THOUGH SOMETHING CAME OUT OF THE VEHICLE. THE REMAINING GLASS WAS IN SMALL PIECES PUT STILL INTACT IN THE ORIGINAL SHAPE. THE THIN SHADE THAT WAS ON THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WAS CLOSED AT THE TIME WHICH CONTAINED MOST OF THE GLASS THAT FELL THROUGH. NO OTHER FOREIGN MATERIAL WAS FOUND IN THE SHADE WHILE I WAS CLEANING UP OF THE BROKEN GLASS....

I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE GOING ABOUT 70MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN THE LIGHT ON MY CONSOLE SAID TRACTION CONTROL OFF, SERVICE STABILITRACK. MY GAS WOULD NOT WORK, THE POWER STEERING OFF AND ALL THE POWER WAS GOING. I BARELY MADE IT TO THE SHOULDER. IT WAS VERY SCARY ALSO HAVE MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM IN MY BOOK AND IT SAID TO TURN OFF AND WAIT 15 SECONDS THEN TURN ON. THAT DID NOT WORK. I SAT THERE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES. I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD, UNDERNEATH THE CAR TO SEE IF ANYTHING WAS LEAKING. NOTHING. FINALLY IT WOULD TURN OVER AND START. I TURNED AROUND TO GO HOME AND ABOUT 5 MILES FROM MY HOUSE, IT HAPPED AGAIN OUT OF NO WHERE. I AGAIN WAITED FOR ABOUT 20 OR 30 MINUTES AND IT FINALLY STARTED. NOW MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT...

MY 2010 BUICK ENCLAVE HAVE WHAT IS BEING DESCRIBED BY MECHANICS AS A DESIGN DEFECT IN THE HIGH PRESSURE HOSE VALVE FOR THE AIR-CONDITIONER. I FIRST COMPLAINT ABOUT IT TO BUICK BACK IN AUGUST OF 2013 WHEN MY AIR CONDITIONER FAILED TO WORK AT THE TIME MY VEHICLE HAD 24,273 MILES. AFTER COMPLAINING TO THE DEAL HOW WANTED $260.00 OR SO TO CHECK THE PROBLEM I CALLED THE BUICK CUSTOMER SERVICE THEY WERE HELPFUL IN WAIVING THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE FOR WHAT WAS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT "HIGH PRESSURE HOSE LEAKS AT COMPRESSOR" YET AT THE TIME THEY NEVER ACKNOWLEDGE IT. IN GOOD FAITH, AND BECAUSE I WAS A "VALUE CUSTOMER" I WAS GIVEN AND APPOINTMENT TO HAVE THE DEALER LOOK AT THE PROBLEM WITH OUT CHARGE. I MUST GIVE BUICK CREDIT FOR THIS AS IT IS GOOD CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE DEALER WANTED $585.13 TO REPAIR THE "DESIGNED DEFECT" OF THE HOSE...

VEHICLE ROLLED BACK WHILE ON AN INCLINE (PARKING STRUCTURE). IT WAS IN DRIVE ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND IT. IT HAS DONE THIS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS SINCE THEN. CALLED BUICK DEALERSHIPS IN AREA WAS TOLD THAT THIS WAS A COMMON CHARACTERISTIC OF THIS VEHICLE. TOOK IT IN TO SERVICE DEPT. AND WAS TOLD THE SAME THING ALSO, TOLD THAT WE SHOULD USE BOTH FEET LIKE A MANUAL TRANSMISSION.

WHILE DRIVING UP IN A PARKING LOT ON AN INCLINE STRUCTURE THE VEHICLE WAS IN DRIVE BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS AND ALMOST HIT THE CAR BEHIND OUR VEHICLE. WE'VE TRIED IT ON SEVERAL INCLINES AND IT ALWAYS ROLLS BACKWARDS IN DRIVE. WE HAVE CONTACTED SEVERAL BUICK DEALERSHIPS AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS JUST A CHARACTERISTIC OF THE VEHICLE.WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP TO HAVE THEM LOOK AT CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT I JUST HAVE TO DRIVE IT LIKE I WOULD A MANUAL TRANSMISSION (USING BOTH FEET) TO BRAKE AND PREVENT IT FROM ROLLING BACKWARDS. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE WITH THAT PROBLEM. SAFETY SHOULD BE A PRIORITY AND IF INDEED THIS VEHCLE IS KNOWN FOR THIS PROBLEM THERE SHOULD HAVE BE RESOLUTION BY NOW.

2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. ACCELERATOR PEDAL CAUSING POTENTIAL ACCIDENT HAZARD *GR THE CONSUMER STATED WHILE PARKED AND SITTING IN THE VEHICLE, HIS RIGHT SHOE, WHICH WAS RESTING ON THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK TIGHTLY TO THE CARPETING WHICH RUNS ALONG SIDE THE CENTER OF THE CONSOLE THAT EXTENDS UNDER THE DASH PANEL. TO DISENGAGE HIS SHOE, THE CONSUMER HAD TO REACH DOWN AND PHYSICALLY PULL HIS FOOT FREE. THE CONSUMER STATED HIS SHOES HAD VELCRO STRAPS ON THEM AND HE INADVERTENTLY RESTED HIS RIGHT FOOT AGAINST THE CARPETING ON THE CONSOLE. AS THE STRAP DID NOT COVER ABOUT AN INCH AND QUARTER OF THE EXPOSED HOOK OF VELCRO, HIS SHOE BECAME FIRMLY ATTACHED TO THE CARPETING. *JB
