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.

Its obvious after one search im not the only one dealing with this problem. I took it into the dealership when I noticed weird sounds and feeling of the steering differed as soon as i could. I got a quote of $1350 (CAD) for a new steering gear, rack, pinion and an allignment. Reading some of the others that got into crashes its absurd how this hasn't been recalled yet!
