Timing chain failed in august 2017 at 87k miles. over $4,000. failed again in january of 2020 at 120k miles. dealer only charging $400-500 due to my insistence and my desire to give them a poor review if they did not honor the repair.

The air conditioner hose was melted where it touches another hose, there was an acadia and a traverse that had the same problem. when i called buick to see if there was a recall, i was told only yukon had the recall. i have a problem with this, they are basically the same. they know these hoses run too hot not to be separated or at least insulated. the part costs an insane $861 dollars. all of these vehicles need to be recalled or corrected.
Today i was driving to work, as i pulled into the driveway of work ticking noise started and then car died right on a hill blocking travel, it would not restart, so i had it towed to my mechanic who advised engine blown do to timing belt wear...all my oil was sucked into engine (just had an oil change 2 mths ago) and blew the motor! this is a known problem with this year, make, model of buick, why is no one doing anything about a recall! i can't afford a new engine, nor a new car, i just purchased this used at hurd buick in rhode island 5/2017 explained needed dependable car, i'm a single parent working full time and they gave me a lemon knowing full well the engine problems with this midel! nhtsa needs to make gm accountable to the consumer of 2010 models like they did with the 2008-2009 models this is so unfair. i had to rent a car to get back and forth to work...i don't know what or how i'm getting around next week!
When driving the traction control light comes on then i get a signal that my engine power is reduced. the speed drops drastically on the highway. indicators say system stabilization.
Check engine light came on, originally read the codes as cylinder misfire 1,3,5. timing chain inside the engine is stretched and means a very costly repair at 145k miles. very common problem with these.
The initial complaint was the check engine light and a repair was made that didnt fix the problem. the light came back on while driving and it was the timing chain and it needed to be replaced. the vehicle only had 47,000 miles on it.
Timing chain failure on 2010 enclave with 56,601 miles.

3.2l v6 engine dropped a valve and blew the engine. is a known issue on that year model. while driving the car started making a clicking noise and stopped pulling in the middle of the road with no warning. engine light came on. car felt like it would not pull. once got to the side of the road, the car would not turn over again. took it to mechanic and said it dropped a valve. was only able to find a piece of the valve left without going completely into the motor. now selling the car for scrap.
Purchased 2010 buick enclave new on 8/17/08. had 48800 miles on it, on 1121/16 check engine light came on with code p0008. took it in garage & discovered timing chain had excessive wear plus replaced both camshafts, valve covers gaskets, timing cover gasket, intake manifold gasket & etc. was fixed for $3536.80. on 5/21/18 at 59050 engine light came on again with code p0017 took it back in found timing chain has excessive wear again replaced both intake & exhaust actuators with cam., intake manifold set, catalytic converter, timing chain because it was prematurely worn, & cam actuator assembly. sent all documentation to gm but they basically laughed and said sorry out of warranty. i believe something should be done to force them to do a recall & reimburse us for all the timing chain repairs. at this rate we will be replacing timing chain every 10000 miles. they need to recall this engine as there is evidence of major problems with it.
This vehicle with 89000 miles has just been diagnosed with a stretched timing chain problem, and we have been quoted a price of $2800 to effect a repair that obviously should have been a recall. at this moment there has not been a catastrofic failure which would necessitate an engine replacement . we think that it is unconscionable that gm knowing of this failure hasn't reached out to the victims and offered a solution to thi burdening problem for folks who can't afford to repair their vehicle that is necessarily depended upon. it looks to us that a class action suit is in order to force gm to fix their mistakes. it is galling to note that lots of older folks have tried to stay loyal to u.s. manufacturers have been misplacing their loyalties. the suit against the saturn vue transmission should be a good example to follow. anyone agree?
Vehicle hesitation while accelerating. check engine light comes on. code was p0008 requiring new timing chanis to be installed for $3,200. vehicle only has 80k miles on it
