Buick has a known problem with timing chains on these vehicles and is refusing to do anything about it. $3K in repairs every time they fail

Should have kept my old Suburban

My 2000 Suburban had over 200,000 miles on it with very very little repairs ever needed. Thought I was upgrading myself getting this smaller, easier to park, but still seating 7 passengers, nice suv. I got 13mpg in the Suburban, this 2010 Enclave only gets 17. Not a huge difference and it's gutless, especially compared to the Suburban. It's been in the shop repeatedly. I paid $17,000 for it used. I still owe $9,000. Beginning of November it went into the dealership for repairs, was $3,400. As a soon as I drove it away I was noticed the noise was even worse than when I took it in. Went right back and made the technician take a ride with me. He said well, drive it and see if it works itself out. So I drive it 4 days until the engine light comes on. Now I owe $3,200 MORE for timing chain repairs. If I had known ahead of time I would be dishing out almost $7000 on the POS in only one month I might have trashed the pile and started over. I can't afford 2 car payments, but could have bought another car with the cost of repairs! I love the interior of the car. The ease of kids getting into the 3rd row because of the split passenger bucket seats. The ease of folding the back down to the shop at Costco. The ease of parking. But I NEED the dang thing to RUN! Pouring money into a black hole.

Lack of good service

Like the ride of the car, that is when it is running. Have brought the car in seven times over the first six months. Service has no idea how to fix the electrical problems with the car and GM has provided no help. Examples; turn the car off and remove the key yet the car keeps on running. Check engine light goes on and the best service can say is make sure you replace the cap when refueling tank. Parking brake light and sound keeps going off even though I never even use the parking break.
Front seats and rear deck poor for $47K]

2010 Enclave--The front seats are not comfortable. They are hard and lack enough plushness and fullness. On along trip they get hard on your bottom. We have to carry a small pillow for some comfort.The passenger side will let the passenger slide forward out of the seat. It also lacks the eight way tilts as the driver side and creates leg cramps after a while.The head rests will not adjust and hits the back of a passengers head who's a shorter person. The rear deck lid fails to close many times when using the clicker or the manual electric button. It will go down part of ths way then jump back up. You have to finally push it shut by hand hoping it will latch. The next day it may work correctly.
Poor design features to be aware of!!

Things you should consider: Snow gets trapped in the front springs causing the vehicle to shake horribly until removed, the latch to the spare tire may not release with snow/mud, front cup holders are to close to the front accessory plug ins to be able to use your accessories and use the cup holders at the same time, the ignition cylinder is designed so poor that you cannot have other keys on your key chain with out causing the cylinder to break causing the vehicle to lock up, the passenger seat comes ONLY in a 4 way so long distance trips are uncomfortable for the passenger, cannot access 3rd seat with children's car seat in the 2nd row, Roadside Service is NOT all that you may think it is
