Navigation system failed when I tried to use it on a trip. Lucikly I had a TomTom handheld portable GPS that I used. GPS Navigation System failed because I did not subscribe to OnStar services, a message on the screen let me know. I knew that Onstar was required for custom navigation plans from them, but I did not know it was required for the system to operate.

conditioning unit failed. The dealer (buick gmc of mahwah, 386 nj-17, mahwah, nj 07430, (201)-252-4475) stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The manufacturer was notified and stated that there were no recalls. The failure mileage was 138,000.
We have had with the drains from the sun roofs and now we have water under the floor board and I am afraid ther might be mold growing we pulled up the floor board and found the water we have had the drains blew out every months but still there is water we have had the rubber around the sun roof looked at and there is nothing wrong with it.
The engine light came on... (4) Recalls for other malfunctions..., The current re-call - 10/2014 on side air bags, that was taken care of. The engine light continued to stay on ...The dealership found the problem... The gas tank...A brand new gas tank was needed. How can that be, the car is ( 6 ) years - six . The mileage ( 64,000 ).. Record shows consistent car services, good care from the initial purchase. The dealership states the cost would be $505.00. "The car could at any time stop receiving gas into the...

tank!!!.... The car at any time, could just stop!!!, Due to a defected gas tank; assembled at a gm plant, 2008 to me, this is their/ gm responsibility. This is definitely a **safety road issue, not caused by me.... They did some sort of test; automobile was not even at the service area, when the so-called test was administered; it was then declared that the charge is mind.... I spoke to a gmbuick rep, in detroit . Mi., He sent me to dealership, dealership determines who pays. Gm transfers its responsibility to a dealership... Please advise.... Gm lacks the ability to interact with customer; no options, no customer service, no consideration, no satisfaction was given, especially; no manners... Dealership did not make the car; nor equipment...Please . *Js
Tl* the contact owns a 2014 buick enclave. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 14v515000 (equipment); however, the part to do the repair was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The vin was not available. The contact had not experienced a failure.
While car is in motion (around 35-40 mph) the stabilitrak, abs, a/c, blind-spot monitor shuts off; speedometer, gas gauge, battery gauge on dashboard all go down to zero (even when car is moving); engine is still running, but vehicle does not respond when accelerator is applied. If engine is turned off and allowed to rest a minute or two and then restart is tried, it either does not start at all or it will start, but will not move over 20 mph (just enough to get off the road.) If allowed to rest @10 minutes, engine...

will start again, dashboard is functional, but engine service light remains on. Acceleration seems "sluggish" when driving after this event, but can get up to @50mph. However, the first time this happen and the car got up to 50mph, the electrical system failed again (as described above) but I could "coast" home, thankfully. The weather is in 80s so a/c is on every time this happens (so far). This seems to only happen on short trips (5 to 20 mile trips such as for shopping, errands, etc.). It has not happened (yet) on longer trips. The first time this happened, the gm service rep said "confirmed ses light on wire harness out of firewall making contact on a/c lines. Has rub-thru on wire. Reposition wire and reseal." After 1 month (1,243 miles), the same exact incident happened again. Gm service rep this (second) time said there are a lot of "communication codes" that indicate communication failures. Gm service rep is still investigating issue. There is a service bulletin already for this problem (or one like it): tsb ref# pi-1202, nhtsa ref# 10055394. *Tr
I just had my transmission repaired, cost me my savings, and a known issue with many owners. Now the power steering is caput. Have to waist my precious time and money on taking the car to the shop again. There is already a class action law suite for this exact issue. Shame on gmc for producing such poor quality car. *Tr
I have bought a buick enclave 2012 the fix air bag sign is on all the time I went to fix it to the dealer but still it's not fixed. *Tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2008 buick enclave. The contact stated that the vehicle was locked with the anti-theft engaged. He then erroneously engaged the lift gate button and the lift gate opened without the anti-theft alarm sounding. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not inspected by a mechanic or a dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure and current mileage was 50,000.
No actual event but the roof leaks in the sunroof area and down the sides where speakers are water leaks from the visor and appear to be in the light fixtures. The vehicle was taken to the dealership two seperate times and issue still isn't resolved. They claim that the port holes were possibly clogged etc.. *Tt
Missing easy to view navigation compass in buick enclave driver information center display. Because we ordered the optional navigation system to obtain the rear view camera display, our dealer advised us that the compass display cannot be added to the dic display at this time. The nav compass display is hard to view on the left upper screen display, non-intuitive, and unsafe for the driver taking their eyes off the road. And, you must have the nav display enabled. Our 2002 buick rendezvous had this dic compass...

display and the 2011 cadillac srx that we were considering buying. Buick marketing/product development made a poor safety decision in not having a redundant compass display for a msrp $48.5K vehicle. I used this dic compass display in unfamiliar driving areas frequently. A market focus customer survey group would have disclosed this issue. We filed a customer complaint form with buick's cac center. But, the dealer advised me the case file would be sent to the dealer instead of to buick marketing/product development! The roominess and value were the main reasons for selecting the enclave. Mounting an aftermarket compass in a luxury vehicle is a poor solution! *Kb
2011 Buick enclave. Consumer writes in regards to a missing compass *tgw gm informed the consumer, the vehicle did not come equipped with a compass, because it has a navigation option and therefore was redundant. *Jb
Tl*the contact owns a 2009 buick enclaved equipped with a blue ox braking system. After towing the vehicle with the braking system, the contact noticed smoke from under the vehicle. The contact noticed that the brake pedal was depressed to the floorboard and the brakes would not engage. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who replaced the braking system. The defective system was sent back to the manufacturer who could not diagnose the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000 and the current mileage was approximately 28,000.
