2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ROLLS UNABATED ON HILLS WHILE IN GEAR - DRIVE OR REVERSE. VERY HARD TO CONTROL. REQUIRES VERY QUICK MOVE FROM BRAKE TO ACCELERATOR AND "2-FOOT" DRIVING WHICH IS DANGEROUS AND WEARS BRAKES AND TRANSMISSION. THERE IS NO "HILL HOLD" FEATURE AND DRIVETRAIN PROVIDES NO RESISTANCE. *TR
2011 BUICK ENCLAVE WITH AUTO TRANS. VEHICLE ROLLS BACKWARDS ON AN INCLINE WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE. REQUIRES DRIVER TO APPLY EXCESSIVE THROTTLE POWER UPON TAKING FOOT OFF OF BRAKE WITH DANGER OF ROLLING INTO CARS BEHIND IT. *TR
MY 2011 BUICK ENCLAVE ROLLS FORWARD AND BACKWARD ON AN INCLINE WHEN IN DRIVE. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ROLLBACK IS NOT RESTRICTED AND CAN REACH DANGEROUS SPEEDS DEPENDING ON THE LEVEL OF DECLINE. THIS REQUIRES THE DRIVER TO KEEP FIRM AND CONSISTENT PRESSURE ON THE BRAKE WHEN ON AN INCLINE TO AVOID ROLLING INTO OTHER VEHICLES AND ALSO, GO HEAVY ON GAS TO OVERPOWER THE ROLL WHEN TAKING OFF. THIS IS EVEN WORSE THAN A MANUAL TRANSMISSION VEHICLE AS AT LEAST THEY WILL STOP IF THEY SNUB OUT. *TR
