2014 Enclave Leather. Purchased used in 2018 with 45k on the clock. Just oil changes, wiper blades and tires until we hit 80k. We had a check engine light p0442. Changed gas cap and purge valve on my own and that did the trick. Hoping for a few more years of mostly trouble-free motoring for the wife!

Update - just about to hit 100,000 miles. Some other problems have cropped up since my October 2020 post. So about 1.5 years later, changed the PCV valve to help deal with oil consumption. Oil consumption has dropped a bit, but I still need to keep an eye on the oil level and I add about 1/4 quart every 2 weeks. I've gotten an airbag system warning message that goes away when I check the connectors underneath the seat and I have also gotten a cylinder misfire warning once. Other than that, I've changed my front brakes and that's about it. For hitting 100,000 miles, I consider that to be mostly trouble free. Oh, I forgot to mention I did a half shaft when I changed tires at 75,000.

Update 2 - At about 104,000. September 2022. Some air conditioning issues - had to do an AC recharge September 2021 and again in August 2022. The dealer cannot find the source of the leak so probably good again until next year. I now also seem to have some sort of rotational noise occurring at highway speeds. I'm thinking something with the rear breaks which I have never changed (at least 60k on the rear breaks).
