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.

Buick Hits a Homerun

Have had our Enclave for 1 week and absolutely love everything about it. The interior is much more plush than the 2012 model. The quiet cabin is as advertised. The ride is so comfortable it is hard to describe. The led rope lighting on the doors and dash are classy. First time we got the articulating headlamps and this actually helps enlarge the area of lighting when turning. The rear entertainment system will be well used by grandkids. The Intellilink is user freindly and awesome. The spaciousness for all 7 seats is impressive.

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.

New Intellink Review

I just leased a 2013 Buick Enclave with Intellink. I had a 2010 Enclave and loved it. The Intellink is all touch buttons including the Emergency Flashers located just under the radio. When changing the radio I inadvertently touch the flasher button and turn them on . This happens daily. Fog lights are no longer available. I used them all the time. You better check with Buick to see which Smart Phones will work with Intellink. It cost me $600 to purchase a new phone when after several days and phones call I found out my HTC Rezound would not pair up. The Iphone 5 will not either. Surprise! Now that I bought a new phone Pandora still won't load.
Disappointed with the 2013 Enclave

Back in 2008 the Buick Enclave was a work of art, a revolution in cross-over SUV vehicles. Unfortunately, I do not feel the same about the 2013 Enclave. Buick did add some features, but they also removed or downgraded some important things. The big selling point of this vehicle was supposed to be the Intellilink system with enhanced navigation, but then they made the touchscreen smaller than before? Other things like Pandora, Stitcher, Photoviewer simply do not work. Are they really selling a $50,000 vehicle that isn't even compatible with an iPhone? Are you kidding me? There is also an occastional low rumbling noise in the engine manifold when the vehicle is idling at a stoplight.
