don't buy unless you have a lot of money to put into a used car, I have put a transmission into this car and still have problems with it. I purchased it because of the room and I picked up my grandchildren after school but now I am afraid to pick them up because the car is so unreliable.

Buyer Beware! I absolutely love the design of the vehicle. It's perfect for my family. As previous posts mention, the wave plate is a problem. The service engine light kept coming on and it kept losing power. I had to keep bringing it in and they said it was fixed and wouldn't have the problem again. Unfortunately, the problem persisted and after having my transmission rebuilt at only 48,000 miles, I just had it rebuilt again at 56,000 miles. Crazy right!! Unfortunately, I'm now out of warranty. I have to figure out how to get rid of this vehicle that has a carfax report with multiple transmission issues.

We first started having problems with our car at 6,899 miles, and it continued to get worse. We have a water leak from the sunroof that started at 17,918 miles and is still leaking today at 189,000 miles. The water leak caused a short in the Airbag system. My daughter was rear ended at 50 + miles per hour and our Airbags did not deploy. She was injured and is now using crutches. My wife was almost killed on the highway, doing 60 MPH when the Throttle body froze due to moisture in the cold air intake. She was forced down to 25 miles per hour with a Semi tractor trailer behind her. 46,255 Left front Stabilizer link loose, 56,252 Brake and Stabi-trak light on, 56,453 Poor connection to level sensor, 95,581 A/C inoperable, 96,808 A/C inoperable again, Recall for Heated Washer solvent-Disabled, 105,462 Sunroof leak, 110,504 Service Airbags light on! Code B0021- Removed and replaced both airbag sensors, 124,795 A/C inoperable again, 128,683 A/C inoperable again, 129,216 A/C inoperable again, 153,414 Check engine light on! Throttle body Freeze oil and moisture in tube between throttle body and air cleaner housing-Cleaned out duct. and many more....DO NOT BUY GM PRODUCTS, your life may depend on it!

Bought 2008 Enclave CLX new. Have since had warranty replacement/repair of GPS (twice), water pump, sunroof leak, and various small things. Many interior trim pieces broke, were glued on in service, only to fall off later. When the warranty was up we started to have steering problems. Found out it was the rack and pinion steering failing at 75,000 miles, a known design flaw for this platform. I have tried to contact our service rep at the dealership and have not had a return call twice. Had it repaired elsewhere. Too bad this didn't happen before we bought the 2013 Buick LaCrosse 3 months ago!!! Would like a GM representative to contact us.

Bought this vehicle brand new in 2008. Thank God it came with a 5 year 100,000 mile warranty because we used it. Tires wore quickly even with Michellins and averaged about $1300.00 to replace. Brakes and rotors needed to be replaced and that was just under $1000. I thought that was outrageous until I've heard of people paying more than that for brakes! To top it all off, transmission failed on the freeway at 73,000 going up north with NO warning. Luckily it was covered by warranty, but even the technician said to get rid of it as soon as the warranty expires. I am a believer in the saying "you get what you pay for." Not with this car. Save yourself the hassle, stress, and money.
