The lift gate will go about half way up and then shuts back down every time you try to open it.

Steering makes a clicking noise when turning the wheel. The vehicle makes a clunking noise when hitting minor bumps in the road and intermittently the steering wheel shakes at highway speeds. The vehicle has a rattling noise when first started and recently the ABS/traction control service light comes on when first started. Also the vehicle has decreased horsepower and the mileage lcd screen has been acting up and not always showing the prndl and also the transmission acts up when shifting into 3 and 6 gear

The A/C was working intermittently until it didn't at all. I had recharged it, simple stuff first. Again, worked intermittently. Finally, had it looked at for leaks, compressor, etc. The mechanic found 2 aluminum pieces that crossed (original vehicle design) and had worn a giant whole into each other. Hence, my leak! I feel this is an Buick issues. And would like a response. Thank you

Black mold found in vehicle, rain leaked thru sunroof, found floor boards soaked in water, mold and moisture present on the dash, seats, air conditioning vents, and all over the interior. Back door liftgate doesn't work. Was not informed by seller of health dangers of this vehicle, nor did he inform us that it had been wrecked before.

I was driving 70 mph on I-80 and heard a loud popping sound, like a balloon popping but louder. The kids noticed that the moonroof was shattered. We took pictures and there is no point of impact. It doesn't appear anything hit the vehicle, and no vehicles were close enough to us to have had any impact. The glass made a lot of cracklings sounds and pieces started to fly off of the car before we could safely exit the interstate. We stopped at a gas station and decided we had no choice but to get back on the road and find a walmart to get supplies to cover the moonroof. After getting back on the interstate the glass started making the crackling noise and glass flew off in large chunks. We were again forced to exit and remove all of the glass from the frame.

My tailgate opens on it's own with no buttons being pressed when the car is parked. Also the tailgate does not sense if something is blocking it from closing it will just try and close on the item or the person

The sunroof leaked into the side panels resulting in all the electric being ruined to the fuse box. $5,000 worth of damage. The engine now does not start.

- Sturgis, SD, USA

When attempting to open the rear lift hatch (using either my key fob, the dashboard control button, or the button on the rear lift hatch) while the vehicle is parked, the rear lift hatch rises to near the top. It suddenly starts closing before it goes into a complete lift position. The part that may be defective is unknown. I am concerned that someone could reach in the rear of the Enclave to grab items, and the hatch closes in on the person before they can escape.

2008 Buick Enclave without accidents nor sunroof or windshield repair or replacement has been experiencing water leakage from visor joints, side curtain panels and under the steering column. My radio amplifier suffered water damage and 2" of water has pooled afoot of my vehicle floor. The issue has been present as of March 2018 and has returned for repair every two months since to date and is there again today. This issue is not able to be rectified nor solved. I have researched and found flooding and water accumulation issues are a known, common and repetitive issue with this make model and year. This will result in electrical and more significant power, and operation problems. A repair, fix compensation and deep cleaning is necessary.

Rear liftgate opens randomly, liftgate failed to stay open and closed while getting things out of back, would then go up and down on its own and was unable to close manually. Reviewed complaints and see this was problem with a campaign number of 15V415000 but when we check the VIN of our car says there are no recalls.

2008 Buick Enclave. Suddenly shuts off/stalls while driving. No warnings.first it only happened when proceeding from stops like red lights, and stop signs. Now it's also happening while in motion. I have to stop completely, and restart the car. It may take up to two attempts before it starts again. The first time I took it in was

I am having a problem with the brake light coming on and a chiming alarm. The only way to make the alarm clear is to either turn the engine off or press the emergency brake a little then release it. I am also having problems with the sun roof drain rail overflowing. As I saw in another post, I think water is the issue. This didn't happen with the brakes until water ran down both of the a posts. I saw in another post that others had this problem during rainy travel. Is anyone having this problem with Enclaves? the sun roof rain rail issue has been ongoing for a long time now. But, the brake warning light issue is new. Electrical problems due to water leaks.

I drove my Buick Enclave 2008 to Virginia from Florida with no problems but when my trip was complete, I turned car off to go in gas station and tried to turn it back on...it did not start. It started to make a twitching noise as if something electrical was wrong. I got it jumped..bought a new battery and it worked fine for 6 days. Now, it will not start at all unless it is jumped. It also locks the keys in the ignition if I tried to start it without a jump. The car continues to make a twitching noise when idle. Im am agraid of a fire igniting. I notice that each time I had a problem with the car, it had rained significantly those days. I know of another owner that is having a similar problem witb their 2008 Buick Enclave. Please help!

I was driving my vehicle and a bunch of a.C. coolant came out all at one time and went into my eyes while I was driving. Now my a.C. won't work. My husband has tried to put more freon in but it keeps doing the same thing. We took it to a repair shop and there are no cracks or leaks however they said the evaporator core was the problem. Apparently they see tons of these issues with these models and years of vehicles and they all have low miles on them when it happens so I guess ours just failed later than others. He said there should be a recall with as many as there are and to report it here. Also I would like to add that this vehicle has had a significant amount of recalls and should be considered a lemon. GM has had nothing but recalls with their Enclaves, acadias and Saturn in the years 2008-2010 models and all of these models have the evaporator issue! the cost to fix this is $2,000!!! the evaporator should not be going out on a vehicle like this.

I was driving on the interstate on April 6th, 2017 with our two young daughters (spring break). Our 2008 Buick Enclave made a subtle noise, then a second noise that was a bit louder. I pulled over just in time for me and my little ones to get out. Within seconds, the car was smoking heavily with flames falling to the ground; and then within minutes, it was burning fiercely. Two good samaritans had pulled over. A lady rushed to grab my kids and ran with them to her car. The 2nd (a former police office) called 9-1-1. the firefighters arrived on scene to put out the fire, but the car had practically burned to a total loss. We still have no idea what caused the fire. Just worried that this might not be a one-off. I have included the firefighter's report. Geico has deemed the car a total loss. Not sure I can trust another Buick. All our friends and colleagues who drive this same car want to know why this could have happened--as do we.

Every time it rains water gets into my vehicle from sunroof. I researched information and it was a recall about it in 2009 under customer satisfaction recall nothing is being done about it and water may cause damage that I can not see.
