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.

I discovered the right axle leak. At 30,349 miles, a luxury SUV should not have this leak. It would have gotten much worse if I had not discovered the leak. It is hard to have confidence in a vehicle that has so many problems. It is a great inconvenience scheduling repairs, bringing in SUV, waiting for repairs, and returning to get SUV.
