Vehicle suddenly stopped accelerating over 20 mph and became unable to reverse. This was discovered while driving. We do not have the funds to make this repair. The car has sat at the end of our driveway in a non-drivable condition since April 2019. The rear strut towers required complete replacement. This was noticed while driving 10 mph. The car made a clunking noise. I took it to the Buick garage and they recommended the strut towers be replaced and the rear axle. They have record of the date and mileage. The power steering cable rubbed on the air conditioning line and a a hole was created. The air conditioner became non-functional. A diagnostic was performed by the Buick garage but, we did not have the funds to repair the air conditioner since we needed to rebuild the strut towers. So we drove the car with a non-functioning air conditioning unit, until the car stopped operating in reverse and stopped accelerating over 20 mph. I am a single mom with 3 children. This has been a great hardship for us. It is very unlikely that I would purchase a car from Buick in the future.

We purchased a 2009 GMC Buick Enclave from gillie hyde used cars in glasgow, ky on 3-15-19. Immediately upon driving the vehicle home, we noted that the vehicle shook when accelerating. We immediately took to our mechanic who noted the transmission issue and we researched the vehicle and found that there was a recall on the vehicle with an extended warranty to the transmission as well as the timing as well as the rear tailgate falling after automatically opening. None of these items were listed. Https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/Buick/Enclave/2009/reliability#recalls the recalls were not noted on the carfax provided by the dealership. We feel as though we have been mislead and completely lied to about this vehicle. The vehicle shakes bad. We had transmission fluid changed, oil changed and still shakes. GM knew of the shaking resulting from the timing chain stretching and our dealer did not inform us of this (even when they had another Enclave on the lot with this issue and told us not to buy it). GM continued to manufacture this engine and finally issued an extended warranty: In November 2012, GM released a special coverage adjustment (#11340C) for timing chain wear in 2.8L and 3.6L V6 engines (LP1/LY7/llt).

No sound, just quit when I tried to increase speed. Onto highway I.had to pull over and went slowly into garage. The car has complete transmission failure, bad bearing on transfer case shaft, which is leading to 7 thousand dollars in repairs. I take great care of my cars and am very disappointed in the performance of this vehicle. I am surprised there are no recalls. Why would a transmission fail at this mileage? I am looking at another car manufacturer for my next vehicle. I have always purchased GM products.
