SERVICE AIR BAG WARNING CAME ON. CAR 2.5YRS OLD 50000 MILES. $850 CHARGE BY DEALER.... 2015 BUICK ENCLAVE. DEALER STATES AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY.

TAKATA RECALL?? MY SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON, BUT NO RECALL IS ISSUED FOR MY VIN. THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED OVERNIGHT THEN THE NEXT MORNING WHEN I STARTED IT THE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ON. NO ACCIDENTS. I HAD THE SENSORS CHECK AND A SCAN DONE ON HE CAR WITH NO INDICATIONS.

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.

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.

9/21/2016

THE LANE DEPARTURE WARNING DOES NOT DOES NOT ACTIVATE UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS 12" OR SO INTO THE ON-COMING TRAFFIC LANE. THIS DELAY COULD BE TO LATE TO WARN THE DRIVER OF AN IMPENDING COLLISION. THIS HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THE LEFT SIDE (DRIVER'S SIDE) CROSSES INTO THE OTHER LANE. THE PASSENGER SIDE WORKS PERFECTLY. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL STREETS, HIGHWAYS, EXPRESS WAYS AT 35MPH OR HIGHER. GM HAS NO WAY TO RE-CALIBRATE THE SYSTEM SENSITIVITY.

11/13/2015

FORWARD COLLISION ALERT DOES NOT FUNCTION DESPITE BUICK DEALER'S INSPECTION AND ASSURANCE "IT'S WORKING PROPERLY." TRAVELING OVER 3,500 MILES RECENTLY, HAD TWO INCIDENTS WHERE TRAFFIC CAME TO A DEAD STOP OR WE WERE CUT OFF AND THE FRONT END COLLISION ALERT SHOULD HAVE EMITTED A WARNING -- WE WERE TRAVELING OVER 25 MPH -- AND IT DID NOTHING. TOOK TO THE GM/BUICK DEALER IN FT. LAUDERDALE, FL FOR INSPECTION/SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR, IT HAD "OLD TECHNOLOGY". AGAIN, ON HE DRIVE FROM FLORIDA TO MICHIGAN, THE ALERT NEVER GAVE ANY WARNINGS WHEN TRAFFIC CAME TO A SUDDEN STOP OR WE WERE CUT OFF ON THE ROADWAY. GM/BUICK SOLD US A SAFETY FEATURE THAT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK AND THEIR RESPONSE IS TO "BUY A NEWER BUICK WITH NEWER TECHNOLOGY." BAD BUSINESS, BAD FOR CONSUMER SAFETY, AND FALSE AND MISLEADING REPRESENTATION THAT WE HAVE A SAFETY FEATURE THAT DOES NOT APPEAR TO WORK.

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.

ON THURSDAY, 7/26/2018, I HAD PARKED MY CAR IN A RESTAURANT PARKING LOT. I APPEAR TO HAVE PULLED THE VEHICLE UP ONTO A CONCRETE SPACE DIVIDER. WHEN I TRIED LEAVING THE RESTAURANT, I COULDN'T BACK OFF OF THE SPACE DIVIDER, THE CAR WOULDN'T MOVE BACKWARD, SO I TRIED PULLING FOREWORD. WHEN THE CAR CAME FREE FROM THE DIVIDER, IT SHOT FOREWORD. APPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT. IN FACT THE CAR APPEARED TO ACCELERATE. I WAS HEADED DIRECTLY TOWARD A CONCRETE BUILDING, SO TO AVOID HITTING THE BUILDING HEAD ON, I HAD JUST ENOUGH TIME TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SIDE SWIPE THE BUILDING BUT IT CRASHED INTO TWO PARKED VEHICLES. IT CAUSED EXTENSIVE DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE AND ONE OF THE PARKED VEHICLES AND ONLY SLIGHT DAMAGE TO THE THIRD. IT APPEARED THAT THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED BEYOND THE EFFORT I APPLIED TO THE GAS PEDAL, IT RAN AWAY AND THE APPLICATION OF THE BRAKES HAD NO OR LITTLE EFFECT IN SLOWING THE VEHICLE. IS THERE, OR HAS THERE BEEN, REPORTS OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH ACCELERATION PROBLEMS WITH THE BUICK ENCLAVE, 2015 MODEL ?

7/27/2018

ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS ALL FOUR VEHICLE BRAKES LOCKED UP WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION. THE FIRST TIME WAS IN A NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE VEHICLE WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A STOP SIGN WHEN THE REAR BRAKES LOCKED AND WOULD NOT RELEASE. THE VEHICLE WAS SHUT DOWN FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD AND THEN WAS ABLE TO BE MOVED A SHORT PERIOD. THE BRAKES UNLOCKED AFTER SITTING OVERNIGHT. THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP SERVICED THE VEHICLE AND SAID THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS OUT OF CALIBRATION. TWO DAYS LATER ALL FOUR BRAKES LOCKED WHILE DRIVING DOWN A INDUSTRIAL AREA STREET. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE FORCIBLY MOVED OFF THE ROADWAY WHERE IT SAT FROM TWO HOURS AWAITING A TOW. AN ABS SYSTEM MALFUNCTION WAS BLAMED FOR THIS FAILURE AND RESULTED IN A VERY COSTLY REPAIR, NOT COVERED BY THE MANUFACTURER.

9/21/2018

THE SCARIEST THING AND I HAVE NEVER EXPERIENCED A SEAT BELT LOCKING TO THE POINT OF A CHILD NEARLY FAINTING BECAUSE IT WAS CHOCKING HIM AROUND THE BELLY AREA. THE MORE I TRIED TO GIVE IT LEVERAGE TO RELEASE THE LOCK THE MORE IT ROLLED IN AND WOULDN'T UNLOCK. THERE ARE NO EMERGENCY RELEASE BUTTONS. GOD FORBID THERE WAS AN ACCIDENT THERE WOULD BE NO WAY TO GET SOMEONE OUT. SCARIEST MOMENT OF MY LIFE. COPS HAD TO CUT THE SEAT BELT. I DO NOT WANT TO PUT MY KIDS IN THIS CAR AGAIN. I FEEL WITH THE WINDSHIELD AND TIRE PROBLEM ON TOP OF IT IS A VERY UNSAFE CAR TO CARRY MY PRECIOUS PRICELESS CARGO (MY KIDS AND THEIR FRIENDS)VERY DISAPPOINTED

TUESDAY, 7/18/2017. I WAS COMING OVER A SMALL DECLINE ON LOCAL ROAD IN EAST BRUNSWICK, NJ. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND CAME UPON THE TRAFFICS LIGHT AND TRAFFICS AHEAD AND THE VEHICLE SHOT FOREWORD. APPLYING THE BREAKS HAD NO EFFECT. IN FACT THE CAR APPEARED TO ACCELERATE. I DID NOT HAVE ENOUGH TIME TO AVOID HITTING THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME WHICH CAUSED THAT VECHILE TO HIT ANOTHER.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE SEPTEMBER 2015 FROM CARMAX IN CHARLOTTESVILLE, VA. SINCE THAT PURCHASE, I HAVE KEPT UP ALL THE ROUTINE MANTAINANCE ON A SCHEDULE FROM OIL CHANGES, ALL FLUIDS, TIRE ROTATIONS. APRIL 21, 2016, MY FIRST RATHER LARGE EXPENSE, "ENGINE CHECK'. I AM HEARING A NOISE IN THE FRONT END. WARRANTY PAID A PORTION OF THIS ISSUE AND I PAID THE BALANCE. THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INSTALLED N STRUT, N NUT, INSULATORS AND BEARINGS. AND THE DRIVER SEAT TRIM CRACKED AND BROKE. (1ST TIME); NEXT ISSUE IS A TOTAL WARRANTY ISSUE THAT INCLUDED REPLACING THE TORQUE CONVERTER. I ADVISED THEM THE ENGINE WAS SKIPPING AND THE CAR WOULD SLOW DOWN. THEY INSTALLED A CONVERTER GASKETS, HOSE AND 12 QTS OF FLUID. 1/27/18. I ADVISED THEM AGAIN OF A LEAK FROM WHAT I THOUGHT WAS THE ENGINE.AT THAT TIME, THEY ADVISED IT WAS A VAPOR LEAK FROM THE EXHUST PIPE. ALSO..THE DRIVER SEAT OUTER PANEL BROKE AGAIN, THEY REPLACED.AND NOW, 4/28/18, THEY ARE TELLING ME THE DRIVE SHAFT HAS TO BE REPLACED AT A COST TO ME OF OVER $2500 +. NOW. YES, I AM CONCERNED. THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A RELATIVELY NEWER VEHICLE..ONE WOULD NOT THINK. MY ENCLAVE HAS 104K MILES ON HER CURRENTLY. THIS VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED FOR MY WEEKEND VISITS WITH MY DAUGHER AND GRANDCHILDREN. TO REPLACE MY 2000 FORD EXPLORER. AND NOW, I AM FEELING SAFER IN MY FORD EXPLORER. I HAVE NEVER HAD TO HAVE ANY KIND OF WORK DONE ON THAT VEHICLE, EXCEPT FOR ROUTINE MAINTAINANCE. AND SHE IS STILL RUNNING AS GREAT AS EVER. WHAT CAN GM DO FOR ME AND MY 2012 BUICK ENCLAVE. I AM LOSING MY FAITH IN THIS VEHICLE. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE I DON'T END UP HAVING TO PAY FOR THIS ISSUE.

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.

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 across the screen. Appt set for 10/20 at noon to go on the big computer (and probably cost my car payment just to see what is wrong) Today (I only have one car and was not offered a loaner even though we agreed it was a safety issue) the traction control light came on and off, the speedometer and tachometer were greatly impacted, the rear camera stated it needed servicing, my liftgate will not work even using the rear handle and sounds like there may be impact in the drivetrain happening as the gear select icon stayed on R for over 500 feet driving forward. There was no hard start, cold day or jump given- also compass is not working either. The radio will randomly say communication system is not working/connecting which appears to impact my OnStar. I have seen other issues for this year online and very concerned what electrical item it is going to impact next. I have children (K and college) and it is bad enough I HAVE to use my car to get to work. This will happen in park or going down the road at 55/60 and every speed between.

SPONTANEOUS SUNROOF BREAKAGE WHILE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A FAIRLY STRAIGHT AND SMOOTH CITY STREET

1/20/2016

MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING OUR VEHICLE ON I-20 IN GEORGIA ON TUES 8/15. IT WAS AROUND 2:00PM, 90-95 DEGREES, NO CARS WITHIN A 1/2 MILE IN FRONT OR BEHIND. IT SOUNDED LIKE A SMALL EXPLOSION. SUNROOF SHATTERED OUTWARD. THE SHADE WAS PULLED SO GLASS DID NOT COME INTO THE PASSENGER SECTION. A FINE GLASS DUST CAME THROUGH THE SHADE. BUICK IS CLAIMING IT WAS HIT BY AN UNKNOWN IMPACT. THAT IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE. THERE WAS NO VEHICLE, PERSON OR EQUIPMENT ANYWHERE NEAR. IT WAS VERY DISCONCERTING AND THE STARTLE/DISTRACTION COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. PLEASE HELP GET CAR MANUFACTURERS TO CHANGE THE TYPE OF GLASS OR INSTALLATION SO THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN AGAIN. IN THE MEANWHILE, IT SHOULD BE THE MANUFACTURERS RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY FOR REPAIRS.

The dealership is unable to identify the failing component or system. The vehicle shuts off while driving above speeds of 60mph, which causes the power steering pump and power brake pump to fail. This symptom of shutting off while driving creates a significant life safety risk for the driver, passengers, and other motorists. The vehicle has been inspected by the dealership over 4 times in 3 months. Since the vehicle shuts off, there are no warning lamps, messages or other symptoms prior to the failure.

I went to Firestone in 2023 about my tire recalled and they claimed there was no recalled. I went again on July 5th, 2025 to changed all my tires but three of them were the tire mentioned. I provided documentation but the agent refused any recalled. Today July 22 , the manager Jason C told me tire recalled only last 6 months and he looked at the recall but per him is not applicable because I used the tire. I was expecting free replacement of 3 tires but they refused or willing to made an adjustment. I'm looking to see if the comment from the manager were correct or not. The firestone location is on address: 777 Middletown Blvd, Langhorne, PA 19047-1823 phone 215-792-6901. If the firestone agent in 2023 told me there is no recall even with documentation and once again in July 2025 I was told the same thing .I will use the tires but during all this time I experience holes, changed valves and replacement one but it costed me money.
