The entire audio system went out, including the radio, blinkers, lane detection, crash detection, back up indicators, OnStar, anything related to any kind of sound whatsoever to the vehicle does not work. The issue that we have discovered is the wiring harnesses in the doors are filling with water and shorting the entire system.
2015 Buick Enclave with 19k miles on it and the AC just broke and freon sprayed through the vents while driving. Almost caused an accident as we couldnt breathe and had to pull over.
Hello, I’m writing concerning my Buick Enclave 2015. We have had it to dealership for side detection system failure in the past & are now incurring the same failure again! This is a big safety concern & hazard. Poor workmanship on General Motors/Buick.
My light is on for airbag and I can’t seem to figure out maybe it’s seatbelt because it’s wrong it’s twisted and airbag says it’s off on passenger so I have a salvage title. Ty had a 2020 VW and a careless driver a young girl driving fast went airborne and left me without my brand new car and cars went off the top expensive it is not my fault this happened and I ended having to buy a used car and most all cars in DFW area high mileage n salvage I needed a car for my job in social services I do frontline work as u did during the pandemic that some idiot driver slammed into my other car I am a safe driver but these idiots on the road is the cause of all this. I need safety for my patients from mental health and other medical...
Sunday at 11 ish am eastern time I started the vehicle to get grocery items. The mileage was approximately 68680. The tire pressure warning light and air bag light came on along with the alerts to service air bag, side view collision, tire pressure, parking assist was shut off. The radio began to randomly shut off and reboot and the lower controls (heated seats, gate lift etc.) would not work, also the turn signal noise would go in and out. Tachometer and speedometer were slightly impacted. Monday I stopped at the dealer after making sure the battery connection was good- there has been no fluctuation of power according to the gauge or even how the items are alerting and the fact my door panel buttons to lock and unlock were not working. They were unable to detect an error with their handheld device even though all those alerts were going...
AIR BAG AND SIDE DECTION LIGHTS BLINK DON'T WORK AND HEADLIGHT DON'T WORK AND CAR STOPS RUNNING WIPERS ONLY WORK ON HIGH WATER POURS ON MY FOOT WHEN IT RAINS HAS TO IN TO SHOP AGAIN TOMMROW GAYLORD MICH
CAR LOSES SPEED FROM 70 DOWN TO 10 ON EXPRESSWAY THIS IS A LIFE THREADING PROBLEM ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED ON EWAY NO WHERE TO PULL OFF AN DARK OUT BEEN TO DEALER IN NOVI MICHIGAN 2 TIMES CAR DID SAME THING ON WAY TO FLORIDA NO READ OUT CODES SHOW ON TRACKING I THINK GM SHOULD FIX THIS PROBLEM FREE OF CHARGE BEFORE SOME 1 GETS KILLED.*DT*JB
WHILE SITTING AT A STOP AND THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION, THE LOCKS LOCKED, UNLOCKED, AND RELOCATED. AFTER INITIALLY FEELING THIS COULD BE A ONE TIME OCCURRENCE, IT HAPPENED ONCE AGAIN AND EXTENDED. THE SECOND OCCURRENCE HAPPENED ABOUT 7-9 TIMES BETWEEN LOCK AND UNLOCK. DURING THE SECOND OCCURRENCE, I NOTICED THE GEAR SHIFT DISPLAY WAS FLASHING IN AND OUT OF PARK. MY CONCERN IS THIS MAY BE MORE OF A DISCONNECT IN THE GEAR SYSTEM THAT MAY MALFUNCTION WHEN DRIVING. WHILE THIS HAPPENED PARKED, WE HAD BEEN DRIVING AND CAME TO THE PARK POSITION WHILE SITTING IN A DRIVE THRU.
THE REAR DOOR TO MY VEHICLE WILL NOT STAY CLOSED SO I HAVE TO TURN OFF THE AUTO DOOR OPENER. I HAVE TO OPEN IT BY HAND AND NOT BY THE ELECTRIC KEY OPENER. I WAS ON A TRIP TO FLORIDA AND GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR AND THE BACK CAME OPEN. I TOOK IT TO COLONIAL AUTO WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT WOULD BE BETWEEN 150.00 - 175.00 TO FIX IT BECAUSE HE SAID THAT HE THOUGHT THE LACK MAY BE OUT OF LINE THAT HE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IF THIS PROBLEM IS REPORTED TO BUICK THAN THEY NEED TO RECALL THEM TO BE CHECKED OR FIXED. I DON'T THINK I WILL EVER BUY ANOTHER BUICK AND WILL NOT BUY ANOTHER AUTO FROM THIS DEALER. I WENT OUT TO GET IN MY CAR FROM WORK AND THE BACK WAS...
MAY 11, 2011 I WENT TO WORK AND TURNED MY CAR OFF ONLY THE CAR DID NOT STOP IT CONTINUED TO RUN WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE SWITCH. I WAITED ALMOST AN HOUR AND TRIED IT AGAIN AND IT TURNED OFF. WHEN I LEFT WORK IT CRANKED RIGHT UP BUT WHEN I GOT HOME, IT WOULD NOT TURN OFF. I CALLED ONSTAR AND THEY TOLD ME BEFORE I HAD IT TOWED, I NEEDED TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY. I CALLED A MECHANIC TO COME TO MY HOUSE AND HE DISCONNECTED ALTERNATOR AND BATTERY AND IT CONTINUED TO RUN. HE THEN HAD TO DISCONNECT THE CABLE ON THE POWER BOX UNDER THE HOOD BEFORE IT WOULD SHUT OFF. I CALLED TRIPLE A TO HAVE IT TOWED TO ABERNATHY CHERVELOT AND BUICK IN LINCOLNTON, NORTH CAROLINA.
SERVICE SIDE DETECTION SYSTEM . SIDE AND REAR ALERTS DO NOT WORK. NOTICE COMES UP ON DASHBOARD EVERY TIME I START THE CAR. HAPPENED 200 MILES AFTER WARRANTY IS OVER AT 50,000 MILES.
BATTERY HAS BEEN REPLACED TWICE IN 20 MONTHS DUE TO FAILURE OF CHARGING SYSTEM TO RECHARGE BATTERY. TURN SIGNALS DO NOT WORK PROPERLY OR AT ALL. DEALER SAYS BATTERY IS "DEFECTIVE". LOW ENGINE RPM TO INCREASE FUEL MILEAGE AND AUTOMATIC ILLUMINATION OF DRIVING LIGHTS END UP TO BATTERY BEING IN A CONSTANT DISCHARGE STATE LEADING TO FAILURE. SIGNAL LIGHTS WILL SLOW DOWN OR STOP ALTOGETHER WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE HAS LEFT ME STRANDED SEVERAL TIME BECAUSE IT WILL NOT RESTART - THERE IS NO WARNING THAT FAILURE IS IMMINENT. POOR DESIGN IN ONE SAFETY FEATURE LEADS TO A FAILURE OF ANOTHER SAFETY FEATURE AND EVENTUALLY TO FAILURE OF THE VEHICLE ALTOGETHER. THERE IS NO VOLT METER AND NO WARNING LIGHTS ARE EVER ILLUMINATED.
MY CAR HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WHILE DRIVING. IT SEEMS TO BE SIMILAR TO THE ISSUE THAT IS IN THE RECALL OF THE 2014 MODEL, BUT THERE ARE NO RECALLS FOR THE 2015. SINCE THERE ARE NO RECALLS, THE DEALER IS NOT LOOKING FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY CAR.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 BUICK ENCLAVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL ODOR OF FUMES EMITTING INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE WHEN THE VENT CONTROLS HAD BEEN USED FROM A/C TO HEAT. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT UPON THE WEATHER CHANGE WHEN THE HEAT WAS ACTIVATED, THE ODOR WAS GETTING PROGRESSIVELY WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TWO DEALERS, WHO WERE NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A THIRD DEALER WHO WAS ABLE TO PROVIDE A DIAGNOSIS AND THEY CHANGED AN AIR FILTER BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED WITH A RANDOM UNKNOWN STRONG ODOR, WHICH WAS AFFECTING THE CONTACTS EYES AND NOSE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
