08 enclave , bought it new i've had nothing but problems with everything you can imagine . just hit 64k and babied this car and the transmission wave plat all need replacement $3400 Absolute BS! 6 yr car with only 64k easy driving mi went from my dream car to biggest purchase mistake ever!!!!! not to mention ruined 2 vacations due to having to cut them short for repairs

We bought a 2012 Buick Enclave new in September. The heater is blowing cold air instead of warm half the time and especially on long trips. We had it "fixed" once and they said it had to do with the calibration at the factory. It seemed to blow warmer air for a short time after the repair, but a couple weeks later, it's blowing cold air again. I can set the heat to 85 even and it still blows cold air, mostly on the passenger side. It doesn't matter if it is on Auto or just manually setting the temperature, but it won't get warm until I set it on 90. The cold air blows in the middle and defrost vents, but the vent by my feet is always warm and almost burns my feet at this setting. It's so frustrating on long trips to not be able to regulate the temperature. I love everything else about this vehicle, it's got a very comfortable ride, but this heating problem is making me want to get rid of the vehicle if they can't get it fixed. I'm bringing it back in tomorrow, so we'll see!!

Everything that could go wrong with this vehicle has gone wrong...cost of repairs have been average.Warranty ended and so did things working properly. Very disappointed with the value for cost of this vehicle. Now we have to track down a very weird thumping/growl noise from the rear of this vehicle. If it hadn't deprciated so much in past 4 years I would trade it in.

there is slipping 3-4 gears after enclave warms no more slipping. It has the charactoristics of wave plate failure. Enclave has 39203 miles

This was my dream car for awhile. Now it's a nightmare since the factory warranty expired. Just today I drove thru the carwash and out of the no where water began leaking in steadily on the entire right side of my vehicle. Without a doubt I know something electric is going to be impacted. Water was coming out my speakers located on the front door and windshield area. 2 weeks prior to this, here in Virginia there was really heavy raining everday for about a week. I went to work and at the end of the day got into my car and it beeped all the way home due to a brake sensor warning (45 minute drive from DC). Next morning I took it to the Buick Service Repair and there was no light and no beeping. They checked the brakes, there were no problems and the brake fluid level was fine. The next day, my check engine light came on, scheduled an appointment then of course the day I was schduled to take it in the light was no longer appearing. I am starting to believe it was related to water leaking into my electrical system. I think a class action suit is warranted because there is no doubt GM is aware of this problem and refuses to do a recall.

Similar features on competitors vehicles would cost much more.
