The cool air flow through the front vents slowly diminished until there was no cool air at all. Since that day it has happened numerous times, but only when it is warm ... Read More...

Buick Enclave Leaks When It Rains

I spoke too soon; leaks not fixed

Today my 2008 Enclave CXL is basically being gutted - seats, carpeting and headliner all being removed as the last rain storm revealed more moisture throughout the vehicle.

I agree. I can't imagine trying to unload a car like this down the road. Would this show up on a carfax? Can't be worth it unless the savings are at least $4-5k. Good luck. Read More...

I have a 2008 Enclave with a sunroof. I've noticed that the sunroof leaks during a touchless carwash. I've returned it for warranty 4 times for this issue.

Buick Customer Service and both dealers ... Read More...
