We brought this car from landers Ford collierville in 19apr13 and I have had to get the brakes redone, and a valve with the air conditioner fixed. But we went to sunrise GMC on 28jun13 and they advised us that we need a brand new transmission in the car due to a crack in some part of the transmission. I haven't had the car that long and now it needs a new transmission. Landers Ford knew that car had transmission problems. GMC advised us that this is a problem that happens in the Buick Enclaves and the arcadias. So if you know that this car had these problems, then why haven't a recalled been done on the cars. We did research this past week and everyone complains about the transmission. We also called GMC and they advised me that since I brought the car from a Ford dealership and not GMC that they can not replace the transmission. But they can give us 70/30 we pay 70 percent of the repairs which I can not afford. They advised us that the car came off the line in 2007 and that is why the car is 10 months out of warranty.

We were driving and the transmission disengaged and the car would not move forward with power when the gas was pressed. We coasted to a stop and were nearly rear ended. We had the car towed to the dealer and were told the transmission needed to be replaced.

My 2008 Buick Enclave only has 54000 miles on it and the transmission had to be replaced. The rpms would race up but the car would not move. The air conditioner also quit working at 39,000 miles but I waited until this breakdown to fix it because it was the beginning of the cool season. The high pressure line to the condenser and evaporator had to be replaced.

As I begin to accelerate the RPM's would go to 4 but my speed would only be 25mph. This has happened several times. When I pull over, turn the car off, start it again, then it runs like it should. I contacted the dealer and they said I needed a new transmission which will cost $4000. I have researched this problem and it seems that many people have had this problem but so far no recall. I have read that a part in the transmission is not properly hear treated which is the cause of the transmission problems.

After momentarily putting the car in park, and then back into drive, the car would only move a couple inches at a time and after 30 seconds or so, stopped moving entirely. Vehicle was towed to garage, and needed to have the transmission replaced due to defective wave plates.

Power steering would grind, occurred for over 20,000 miles, and dealer could not diagnose the problem on several instances of being in for maintenance. Steering would be sluggish at times but not easily reproduced for dealer service. Independent shop found massive leakage in the rack and pinion system on both sides as well as complete leakage from the rear differential. Independent shop indicated both were significant safety issues requiring immediate repair; they also were surprised at the dealer's inability to diagnose the issue.

Driving home from newark Liberty airport on Tuesday 1/8/2013 on highway ( rt 78 and rt 24 in New Jersey ). hesitation in acceleration noted when pressing gas pedal. Concern that I would be rear ended as car did not respond to acceleration attempts on a busy highway with a speed limit 65. Took car to dealership on 1/9/2013- norman gale Buick in cedar knolls New Jersey and after evaluation I was told told I need a new transmission on my 5 year old car with low mileage at a cost of $4100. Car warranty 5 years $100,000 miles expired 11/7/2012. I took the vehicle for a second estimate at my local service station, gulf station route 124 morristown NJ. Service manager, zee also confirmed that the transmission would need replacement but the transmission expert that he contracts with told him they will not touch this make and model.no reason provided to my husband.

Once or twice a week my Enclave continues to roll another 5-7 feet after being put in park and the key removed. The accident occurred when I was unloading groceries from the rear passenger door. The vehicle moved forward and ran over my foot. I have a 100,000 zero deductible warranty, as well as GM's powertrain warranty, but still zubor Buick in taylor mi wanted to charge because they couldn't find a problem. Since my injury, I took it to another dealer today, red holman in westland. They couldn't find a problem either. It looks exactly like the recall with the 2009 Enclave NHTSA campaign #09V073000 (on some of these vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjustment clip may not be fully engaged. If the clip is not fully engaged, the shift lever and the actual position of the transmission gear may not match. With this condition, the drive could move the shifter to "park" and remove the ignition key, but the transmission gear may not be in "park".)
