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.

GM says it normal for oil to be in the cool air intake and boiling out of my power steering. What a bunch of jerks, you should never have these problems and i feel my engine is on its last leg and there trying to get past my warranty. The engine runs so hot that you can't touch the hood after driving it. I will never buy a piece of sh*t GM product ever again in my life. I hope they go bankrupt again and Obama can go down with them too.
