Cost Too Much To Maintain

CarComplaints.com Seal Of This Might Hurt

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.

Enclave CXL V6

With thorough research of my own, I came across this lawsuit yesterday on the internet. Everyone should at least take a look at this whether you still have a current issue or not unless you have already gotten rid of your damaged vehicles. I feel this will lead us all to real restitution and a chance to be taken serious. I have been checking this page periodically and I personally feel like it is a smokescreen for us to continue venting to one another as only more years pass by while no real changes are being made.

Sincerely, another mad 08' Buick Enclave CLX owner

Enclave CX 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34 miles

$8000US for service and breakdowns on this Enclave over 6.5 years, not including oil changes and gas, works out to $1200+ per year. I think GM has a quality control problem!
