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.

Transmission failed at 120k

After 120k this vehicle has cost more then it's worth. Transmission needed replaced, squeaks everywhere. Terrible choice for a vehicle if you're looking for long term usage.

No cell phones in Front Seat

Updated review: I will never buy a GM Product again based on my experience with customer service and incompetent technology. How would a buyer know if you could have a cell phone or a large drink (in the cup holder) in the front seat? The service notices are not easily available to buyer. I now drive a Lexus. And behold the phone and the iPad and the laptop do not interfere with the seatbelt or air bag deployment. The seat belt alarm keeps going off in my 2012 Enclave. The dealer gave me a service notice ID 3120743/ 08-09-41-0071. This states that any electronic device in the front seat or audio cords or large drinks will cause the seat belt alarm to ping. This is NOT TO BE REPAIRED. If you want a cell phone, iPad or audio cord in the front you have to click the seat belt. GM can not give me any assurance that with said interference the air bags will deploy. GM Customer Service stated "The Vehicle is designed to do that" REALLY? I don't think so. They inadequately shielded the module and now don't want to fix it.

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.
