All Fuelpropulsion System Complaints
The vehicle began shuddering and losing power during normal driving. The issue occurs at various speeds, especially between 35–60 mph, and feels as though the car is slipping or will stall. A certified service center diagnosed a failing torque converter, which is part of the transmission/power train. The repair estimate was several thousand dollars. This failure poses a safety risk because the vehicle can suddenly lose acceleration or struggle to move in traffic. The service center confirmed the defect but stated there is no recall or assistance from Buick or GM. I have contacted Buick Customer Care and GM Executive offices with no response. The vehicle remains unsafe to drive.
MY ENCLAVE GETS THRE WORST GAS MILEAGE OF ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER GETS BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THIS SUV BY ALMOST DOUBLE AND IT'S NOT VERY FUEL EFFICIENT. MY BOYFRIEND'S V8 SILVERADO ALSO GETS ABOUT 50% BETTER GAS MILAGE. IVE BROUGHT IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE BC THE COMPUTER ISN'T FLAGGING ANY ISSUES. THE DRIVER SIDE SHOCK THAT WAD REPLACED HAS ALSO ALREADY WENT BAD WITH NO REASON AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WOBBLES WHEN REVERSING OUT IF A PARKING SPACE. THIS AGAIN WAS CHECKED AND THEY DENIED FINDING ANY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE RIDICULOUSLY PRICED AND WORTHLESS ADDITIONAL WARRANTY IN DECEMBER OF 2017.
POSSIBLE ELECTRICAL SHORT? FUEL GAUGE DROPPED OVER AN EIGHTH OF A TANK WHEN JUST FILLED IT UP AND DROVE 2 MILES HOME. NEXT TIME I STARTED IT UP IT DISPLAYED THE AFOREMENTIONED. HAS DONE THIS A FEW TIMES NOW. ALSO SERVICE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS COME ON INTERMITTENTLY PRIOR TO FUEL GAUGE ISSUE AND NOW IS ON EVERY TIME. CALLED BUICK AND THEY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IT HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THAT MODEL AND EVEN YEAR JUST NOT MY VIN. PERHAPS EXPANSION OF VEHICLES AFFECTED??? 77,000 MILES
WHEN I LEFT HOME FUEL GAUGE READ 3/4 OF A TANK. DROVE TO KHOL'S WHEN I WAS DONE AND STARTED CAR TO RETURN HOME MY GAUGE READ FULL. *TR
