2013 Enclave V-6 Engine Failure

At 84,445 miles, the engine quit with absolutely no warning. The mechanic said the crankshaft had seized for no apparent reason. He also said this engine was also in the Chevrolet Traverse and Cadillac models with the V-6 engine. We replaced the engine at a cost of over $9,000 and a month later, the replacement motor caught fire totaling the Enclave. Beautiful car which cost almost $48,000 now has a burned out engine compartment.

I have had my Enclave for 4 years and it has approximately 35,000 miles on the odometer. The car is beginning to encounter problems like a/c quit blowing cold air, the blower in the rear quit working, the rear tailgate got stuck open when we were on vacation and the bluetooth/radio/navigation gets confused when I use hand's free calling and the radio turns off at inappropriate times. Also, sometimes when I turn right, the car makes a sound like a creeking gate. Took it to dealership a month before the original warranty expired and they could not find the problem. It is still making the noise and will eventually break, for which I will have to pay big bucks to repair. The car still drives and handles like it did when it was new.

Sunroof leaks

V6 lacks power, especially on hilly terrain. Sunroof has leaked entire first year of ownership. Apparently Buick unwilling or unable to correct. And the dealer, Carl Black, did ZERO to accommodate. Traded the piece of crap in for a Ford after one year.

Constantly in for repair

We purchased a 2013 Enclave in 2016 with ~49K miles. We've consistently been spending money to repair this vehicle. Twice, the dashboard lights start flickering, the dashboard goes black, and the vehicle dies. Both instances of this didn't not register any computer codes, mechanics at the dealership had to guess at the problems, and it took 3 tries to get it fixed. Additionally, the AC requires recharging every summer, twice. These issues represent only some of the times we've taken this vehicle in for repairs over 3 years with costs now exceeding $5000. Forums suggest we are not the only Enclave owners struggling with this.

Run from this - $1000 headlamp replacements

BIG FYI: a single headlight bulb costs nearly $500 to replace! Wow! I bought our family's 2013 Enclave new and had a couple of smaller light bulbs burn out while still in warranty. The kicker came when a headlight bulb only lasted 3 years. Just know that that little bulb will cost you nearly $1000.00 when they both burn out! Buick should be ashamed of this. And unfortunately, this means we have no choice but to head back to non-American cars when we get a new car this spring. Good bye Buick, I'm not in the business of these kinds of surprises.
