Bracket holding exhaust pipes broke and I'm told it is a hazard. It is over $400 to fix it, I paid almost $6,000 for warranty service contract when I bought my car which doesn't cover it. It looks like this same problem is listed for 2019 but not 2020 which would have covered it if you would list it as a problem for 2020 also. [XXX} Please review and hopefully others have let you know also. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

The Front Exhaust got a hole and rusted through as in similar years. This Exact issue is covered for both the 2019 and 2021 Models of the Buick Enclave under a special coverage adjustment (N212356540 and N222385510), but not for the 2020 model. It would seem to follow that if the year prior and after both have this issue, then the middle year should also be covered under a special coverage as the problem had not been fixed. The vehicle is currently getting service done for this exact issue covered under the special coverage adjustments and poses an environmental hazard as the exhaust is not going through the catalytic convertor and dumping pollutants directly in the the air. The only warning was a rattling noise when shifting and according to dealership is most likely caused by the bracket coming detached and breaking off.

We bought our car in 2021 and shortly after our car started pouring water into the driver seat from the ceiling. At that time we thought it may have been a cracked window window. Actually we weren’t really sure because we don’t use the sunroof or anything really. However, it stopped doing it until around October 2023 when it escalated as it is our only vehicle and we are extremely busy. We hadn’t had the chance to take it in yet then in January 2024, while my wife was driving, water, literally poured into her lap while she was driving from the ceiling which could’ve caused an accident, when we took the vehicle in to get it serviced, they stated something that just sounds ridiculous. Something no one even ever made us aware of and something I’ve never in my whole history of owning vehicles with sunroof have I ever...

When starting our 2020 Buick Enclave I noticed the low voltage battery light stayed illuminated after startup. A message followed on the message center located in the center of the gauge cluster. The message read Service Electrical Charging System. Followed by a message stating Low Voltage Vehicle Ma Stall. This particular vehicle only has 38,000 miles on it and I have not experienced any issues with the electrical charging system prior to this incident. There have been no indication as to the battery or alternator failing (ex. dim lights, flickering lights, malfunctioning electronics/electrical equipment, unusual noises coming from engine bay). I acknowledged the messages with the button on the steering wheel. I proceeded to drive and the low voltage light went off shortly after. I proceeded to drive approximately 75 miles without incident. Shortly before arriving at my destination the low voltage warning light illuminated and the messages appeared on...

The rear liftgate locking mechanism failed to latch causing cargo to exit the vehicle where the car behind this car smashed into the cargo causing an accident. For whatever reason the rear door will not lock at all. The fuse was perfectly fine, appears the actuator is defective. No warning was given because the rear liftgate was open and unlatched. After realizing the gate would not close it would notify it was open but the power liftgate operates just fine, and when you activate it, it will push the gate closed and not give a warning until maybe you hit a bump in the road.

While driving my car in normal weather/temperature conditions, the driver side sunroof literally exploded. There was a very loud bang, like someone fired a gun next to my head, and initially I thought someone had shot out one of my car windows with a gun. Upon seeing it was the sunroof I then thought an object had falled through the sunroof window. However, upon inspection, the sunroof window glass was actually blown from the inside out. See attached photographs. There was no prior apparent damage/crack/chip to the sunroof glass or mechanism. There was no sudden change in weather, internal or external temperature or pressure inside the car at the time of the explosion.
