CarComplaints.com Notes: Buying the first model year of any vehicle is rarely a good idea. You become a guinea pig for the automaker and they are really not nice to guinea pigs.
The 2008 Enclave has a wide enough range of problems to issue a warning. There's transmission failure under 90k miles, new power steering units costing over $1,300, and enough engine complaints to NHTSA to scare anyone away.

Literally just purchased this vehicle last month.. A few days later it started this popping noise thru the speakers.. It did this on radio/cd/aux/ even with the radio off and even with the door open !there is no way to make it stop. Then the sound started cutting in and out intermittently. It likes to work when it wants randomly. The speakers are intertwined with any chimes from the dashboard so if the radios cutting out then your turn signals / seat belt chimes won't work either..
Then last week while trying to use my turn signal this loud I MEAN LOUD ear piercing - make you drive off the road - screeching sound comes on and scared the crap out of myself and the kids. It makes it dangerous to even drive the car since this issue is so random. So if the radio is acting up then I can not use my turn signals and by God if u forget your sea belt that chime will set the loud noise off. Don't understand how this hasn't been addressed by GM with so many complaints online. The sounds are God awful.
Car isn't under warranty but dealer is working with us to get it fixed.. Thank god.. From the looks online it isn't a cheap fix and hopefully they are able to fix it! Nothing like buying a $12000 car and having to listen to headphones while you drive it. What a joke.
