Second best car I ever owned

Update 04/03/2020.. still no issues and still love the car. I owned a 1992 Buick LaSabre which I sold in 2000 with 190,000 miles on it and never had a major repair . So far this Enclave almost exceeds that vehicle. If it were only easier to get in and out of the second and third row seats. They should have installed a grip handle in the second row.

Great running automobile. Quiet. Peppy when needed. Comfortable on long as well as short trips. All of the instrumentation takes time to get accustomed to, and can be somewhat intimidating to those of us who are electronically challenged. The manual must be consulted frequently. Gasoline mileage is adequate for the size of the car, but not outstanding. One should not purchase this SUV with the idea of saving money at the gas pump.

Great car, just traded with 130,000 miles. Never a major issue. Great for family trips even when pulling a small trailer for luggage. Served me so well that just purchased a 2018 replacement. 2018 now has 87000 miles and no issue. Waiting for 2025 redesign to purchase another.

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.
