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
While driving and making a turn the power steering failed to function. took the car to a mechanic and he replaced the rack and pinion and pump. the problem continues . power steering works when accelerating and stepping on the gas. when you take your foot off the gas or are stopped power steering does not work. when making a turn at an intersection the power steering goes off and it is difficult to complete the turn. i read on line that other 2008 buick enclaves have the same problem.
The power sterring pump and rack pionion is out and needs both front and lower control arms need to be replace cannot turn the steering wheel while ran into a park vehicle now i am being sued
Power steering pump failure. at low speeds wheel becomes almost impossible to turn. this has caused several near accidents. dealer quoted almost $1600 to replace. online research shows this is a common problem for this vehicle. i have already had the steering worked on once before after having difficulty turning the wheel. as it is over 3 years since then, i am told the cost is due from me in full.
The power steering pump
This car is a mess. it didn't pass the state emission test sticker. the traction control system in conjunction with the stability track control system. are bringing up a check engine light with error code p0174 and p0171. every time those system showed up in the instrument panel i got a follow up check engine light. i don't know what the problem is and two gmc buick dealer have said different fix method. very back for me. they want to fix different problems. they don't know what the real problem is. they are guessing.
The power steering seems to fail at times. it becomes very difficult to turn the wheel after stopping at an intersection or traffic light. it's also difficult to make turns into traffic when i have to quickly merge into the flow of traffic.
This is a 1 owner vehicle, not driven long distances or on salted or rough terrain. in the last few months, i have had to replace both stabilizer bars, shocks, struts, and because the brakes were not put back on properly the brakes and rotors, and in 2011 the gear box had a leak which was replaced. now after spending $4k in the last few months, i am being told the rack and pinion (which is the same as the gear box) is leaking again! i only have 74k miles on this car! i previously had a 1990 chevy suburban that never had these kinds of issues! and yet here alone i see over 80 issues for the power steering alone! make gm recall this vehicle or i fully intend to start a class action lawsuit and include your organization as well for failure to protect the public!

No power steering
My 2008 buick enclave has been an accident waiting to happen the entire life of the car. my main concern is the power steering. it has gone out 5-6 times in the 8 years i have owned the vehicle.if you would like invoice of each time/date i have them with the exact problem. five or 6 times it went out.-- three at slow speed low rpm trying to turn in the city and at 6 1 wt 230 it took all my strength not to hit a car head on during the turn.three on the interstate turning off exit an higher speed. if my daughter or granddaughter had been driving in the city they would have been dead. buick extended the power steering warranty to 150;000 miles . i had the last power steering pump put in at 149,432 miles 11/23/16. my concern to you and buick is about every 25k power steering goes out. i never had a power steering problem with my 2002 chevey sub with 160k witch we still drive--never had a power steering problem with my 2002 gmc den with 251k witch we still drive. .buick knows they made a engineering design ...
