We have classified the 62 complaints from 2008 Buick Enclave about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM into the following categories.
While the vehicle is stationary, with the shift lever in the park position, the key cannot be removed from the ignition switch on an intermittent basis. the engine shuts off, and the key turns toward the off position but the instrument panel remains lighted and the key will not turn to the off position so that it may be removed. not a good anti-theft device for certain! the shift lever can be moved when the "stuck key" issue is going on and the vehicle will roll down any incline large or small if the shift lever moved from park. i have heard of "stuck key" issues with many other gm vehicles and am wondering if a recall will be issued. i called a local gm dealership and the service department had no information regarding any recall for the "stuck key" issue regarding my vehicle.
My vehicle randomly opens the lift gate when it is in park. this happens both when the car is running as well as when it is not. i came out of the bank and my tailgate was open. i turned it off at the switch inside the car. it still attempts to open when i am in park. i have to lock all the doors to keep it closed.
We where driving the other day, lost all power to dash cluster. found water in fuses under glove box on passenger side. dried out and got power back; but not abs light is on and if it goes off we lose all brakes. the traction control and stabilitrak say service and we lost our back up camera as well.
Light flash by them selves truck door lifts by it self serviceability track and traction control lights are on and now won't accelerate, and power steering pump is also a issue . when ever lights and hatch open alone the park is parked and cut off
When attempting to open the rear lift hatch (using either my key fob, the dashboard control button, or the button on the rear lift hatch) while the vehicle is parked, the rear lift hatch rises to near the top. it suddenly starts closing before it goes into a complete lift position. the part that may be defective is unknown. i am concerned that someone could reach in the rear of the enclave to grab items, and the hatch closes in on the person before they can escape.
2008 buick enclave without accidents nor sunroof or windshield repair or replacement has been experiencing water leakage from visor joints, side curtain panels and under the steering column. my radio amplifier suffered water damage and 2" of water has pooled afoot of my vehicle floor. the issue has been present as of march 2018 and has returned for repair every two months since to date and is there again today. this issue is not able to be rectified nor solved. i have researched and found flooding and water accumulation issues are a known, common and repetitive issue with this make model and year. this will result in electrical and more significant power, and operation problems. a repair, fix compensation and deep cleaning is necessary.
The stabilizer system is showing a warning light. saying : the stabilizer system need service. at the same time the tire pressure symbol light come on and the check engine light follow and stays on. showing 3 error codes p0700 - p0174 - p 0171. this is like one error code pull the other. then the next day the light is gone, when you come and start the car and then after several hour the light comes back again.
After a horrable rain, i came to my car, and found the front passenger side was flooded.i followed the water leak and found it was the sunroof, took the car to buick dealership, and found the drain tube was clogged, my warrenty did not cover it so i had to pay $178.00 for the repair. i then looked it up and found there is a known nhtsa item number on the car, it is 10026482. after looking into this i found it is a reoccurring problem, it needs to be fixed-blown out every 6 months. if it is a known problem it should have been fixed a long time ago. i am on a limited income and can not afford $178.00 every 6 months.it is destroying the carpet. i looked on youtube to see what the process is in fixing it and i see so many wires in the path of the water. i think this is a bigger risk factor than a simple leak. we have had this car for 6months now and this is the first problem. i have one family member and one friend that is interested in this car and i will be sure to ...

Sunroof water leak. when it rains water pours from all parts of the roof onto the interior of the car. from falling water to water running down through the walls of every part of the car. it has started to cause electrical problems with the vehicle and also i have found mold under the carpet where the water accumulates. it is usually 1 to 2 inches of water on the floor boards after raining. causing mold, rust and mildew. this happens whenever it rains, a little or alot. this may be causing unhealth iisues. it would be smart for buick to fix these issues now before medical bills are involved.
