Love the Enclave but hate my car

I wish these reviews were posted before I purchased mine in 2011. After buying the car, I had issues with the engine light (gas tank cap leaked), water pump, air not blowing cold (dealer still unable to locate the problem), I just had my transmission rebuilt (two shops said they have seen this with this vehicle, Traverse and Acadia) and a day after shelling out over $3K, my engine light comes on (possible catalytic converter)!!! I am tired of the problems but after spending all of this money, I cannot afford another vehicle. I seriously wish General Motors would look into all of these issues!
Great ride

I bought this vehicle after I read 50 reviews and some test drives. Other folks have done a great job of describing the joys of an Enclave. I have experienced mileage as high as 28 on flat road 55mph and no traffic. Typical on interstate at 70 is 23-24 if you keep your foot steady. 2 complaints- tires extremely noisy on some roads. I drive with both feet and periodically, if my foot is resting on the brake when I accelerate, the vehicle jumps. Have had a couple close calls. I now make sure my foot is off the brake. Dealer says my brake foot is confusing the throttle computer causing it to feed in more gas. One Toyota has same problem.

I have a 2009 Buick enclave cxl, I never had a brand new vehicle in my entire life and I'm 45 years old, this was the vehicle I thought I always wanted. The ride is very very comfortable but.......since I've had this vehicle of 3 years I have had to change motor mounts, water pump, serpentine belt, radiator, hot water hoses, coil packs (twice) and I also have one to be change this weekend. I have also had the transmission plate replaced, new speakers all the way around and new chair motor, crank relay switch, ignition relay switch, replaced a headlight, replaced day lamps of which only (1) works at a time never both, replaced back lamp and now periodically it just does not say a word and takes a few tries to crank. the dealership kept it over night and the diagnostic read nothing, but they did clear a few codes. I have had to have this vehicle towed (4) times, I owe wayy more than it's worth so I can not trade it in. I hope and pray that GMC takes these reviews into consideration when producing the next wave of Enclaves...I really like the Enclave but my God I can not afford it and wish that I can give a good review once on them.

I purchased my 2009 Enclave in 2012 and in the first year I owned it, I have had the following problems: 1. Timing Chain, 2. Water pump, 3. Front Struts, 4. Rack and Pinion, 5. Power Steering Pump, 6. Engine Mount, 7. Washer fluid pump and 8 Transmission. And since the car never goes more than one week without a check engine light coming on (which disables the remote start), the remote start is not available most of the time. Other than that, I love the car.
Whyyyyyyyyy?
