Let me start by saying that I haven't posted on any forum in the past. I'm fed up to the point that I have an obligation to make potential buyers aware of the issues that we have faced with our current 2008 Buick Enclave CXL. If something could have gone wrong with a car, this car experienced it.
We purchased this car new. Under the BTB warranty, we replaced the transmission, had multiple trips to the dealer for sunroof leaks, broken sunroof curtain and the seat sensors to turn on the air bags were replaced. We have 56,xxx miles on the car and we just replaced the brake master cylinder & booster because it was leaking (to the tune of $800). Because they had the car in the air to bleed the brake system, both struts in the front locked up and now need to be replaced (to the tune of $600). Needless to say, the repair shop mechanics and managers were stunned that a car that costs this much should not need new struts at 56,000 miles. They even called their service manager contact at the largest Buick dealer in Jacksonville to see what he could do and when he received the VIN he asked, "Is this an Enclave? Oh, this happens all of the time and getting the struts unstuck is a 50/50 shot." He said he even warned his customers with Enclaves at or over 50,000 miles that needed to be put in the air that this was LIKELY to happen. WHAT??!! Are you kidding me??
Needless to say, I am done with BUICK vehicles. They are great riding when they work but they are pieces of JUNK. DO NOT BUY AN ENCLAVE!!! The reviews that you can find online speak volumes. I'm just another page in the book of CRAPPY BUICK ENCLAVE's.
