2019 BUICK ENCLAVE
I HAVE HAD THIS NEW CAR JUST OVER FOR 1 YEAR, IM PRIOR SERVICE MILITARY AND WAS ABLE TO PURCHASE THIS 2019 BUICK ENCLAVE FOR ME ON FATHER'S DAY LAST YEAR BECAUSE PUR OTHER CAR BROKE DOWN ON A FAMILY ROAD TRIP. SO I GARAGE MY VEHICLES I NOTICED A OIL LEAK ON THE GARAGE I DIDN'T WANT TO THINK IT WAS FROM THIS CAR SO I WATCHED IT SEEMED TO BE INTERMEDIATE AT TIMES BUT RECENTLY GOT WORSE SO I TOOK IT IN TOLD THEM AND THEY SAID IT WAS A BAD OIL FILTER BUT THE OIL FILTER IS OPPOSITE SIDE OF THE CAR FROM WHERE THIS LEAK IS DRIPPING ON MY DRIVER'S SIDE. SO I JUST WENT UNDER THERE TO SEE WHAT I COULD FIND I TOO WAS A MECHANIC IN THE ARMY AND OUTSIDE AS A CIVILIAN AFTER SO I LOOKED TOOK ME 5 SECONDS TO LOCATE IT THAT IS THE PICTURE OF THE LEAK. THEN I NOTICED RUST CRACKS ON MY FRAME SO I LOOKED MORE AND DISCOVERED THE RUST CRACKS ARE ON THE BOTTOM AND TOPSIDE OF THE FRAME. SO I DID SOME RESEARCH AND SAW COMING UP IN DEC A RECALL IS GOING TO HAPPEN FOR CRACKED FRAMES ON THE BUICK ENCLAVE 2020 BUT STARTING FROM BUILD DATE'S 3 MONTHS AFTER MINE WAS BUILT BUT MINE SHOWS ALL THE SYSTEMS OF THAT RECALL BUT ISN'T INCLUDED. ALSO I HAD A ISSUE WITH THE STARTER STOP MY FAMILY AND I WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT ON A CITY STREET WITH A CAR INFRONT OF US WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED NORMALLY THEN WHEN IT TURNED BACK ON MY RPM KEPT GOING UP LIKE YOUR PUSHING THE EXCELLORATOR PEDDLE BUT I WASN'T BECAUSE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE WHEN I LOOK DOWN I EASED UP A BIT ON THE BRAKE AND IT SHOT FORWARD ON ME I DIDN'T HIT THE CAR INFRONT OF ME BECAUSE I DEPRESSED HARDER ON THE BRAKE TO HOLD IT. THATS WHEN I STARTED LOOKING AND SAW THIS RECALL SOON TO COME OUT.

SHORTLY AFTER GETTING GAS, THE CAR WILL REV TO 2-3RPM WHEN LIGHTLY ACCELERATING, AND SEEM TO "RUN ROUGH". THEN, AFTER COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE CAR WILL AUTO STOP AND THEN SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL. I CAN NOT SHIFT BACK INTO DRIVE WITHOUT PUSHING THE START/STOP BUTTON TO RESTART THE CAR. IT DOES NOT HAPPEN EVERY TIME I GET GAS, BUT ALL 3 TIMES IT HAS HAPPENED HAVE BEEN AFTER GETTING GAS. THE FIRST 2 TIMES IT HAPPENED, I WAS TOLD THERE WAS A RECALL, WHICH WAS THE CAUSE, BUT THIS LAST TIME, THERE WAS NO RECALL, AND THEY SAID THERE WERE NO ERROR CODES, SO THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT IS WRONG. THE CAR STALLING EPISODES OCCURRED IN AUGUST 2019, SEPTEMBER 2019, AND FEBRUARY 2020. IT MAY OR MAY NOT BE RELATED, BUT IN OCTOBER 2019, THERE WERE ALSO 2 INSTANCES OF AN "EVAP LEAK" THAT WERE FIXED.

DURING NORMAL COMMUTE, VEHICLE BEGAN BUCKING BADLY, WOULD NOT ACCELERATE AND BEGAN ROLLING BACKWARDS. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. SHUT VEHICLE DOWN, RESTARTED, AND THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO CLEAR. BROUGHT VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, FOUND CODES P0011, P0014, P0021 AND P0024 SET. DEALERSHIP CONTACTED GM, WHO ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT OFFERED NO FIX. THEY ARE STILL STUDYING THE ISSUE AND HAVE NO RESOLUTION. DEALERSHIP CLEARED CODES AND RELEASED VEHICLE BACK TO US. ISSUE MAY RETURN AT ANY TIME. HOW CAN I TRUST MY FAMILY IN A VEHICLE THAT MAY SUDDENLY, WITHOUT WARNING, BEGIN BUCKING, STOP ACCELERATING AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT? THIS IS AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT GM NEEDS TO ADDRESS. I AM DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY HAVE NO RESOLUTION. DEALERSHIP REFERENCED BULLETIN PIP5569E, SO GM ACKNOWLEDGES THE ISSUE. I FOUND REFERENCES FROM ALMOST A YEAR AGO TO THIS ISSUE VIA GOOGLE - THAT'S VERY DISCONCERTING THAT, IN THIS TIME, GM CANNOT IDENTIFY A FIX.

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS CAR SUDDENLY SHIFTED ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL AND COULD NOT BE ENGAGE BACK TO ANY DRIVE GEARS. BRAKES WERE INOPERABLE AND ACCELERATOR WAS IN OPERABLE. FINALLY CAME TO A STOP BY COASTING TO THE SHOULDER AND WAITING FOR SPEED TO DROP FAR ENOUGH TO GET VEHICLE TO GO INTO PARK.

2019 BUICK ENCLAVE
NOTE: MILEAGE IS 1240 MILES, JUST PURCHASED THREE MONTHS AGO WITH 54 MILES ON IT AND SHIPPED TO GERMANY (DOD CIVILIAN). WHILE IN EUROPE, I AM USING THE VEHICLES' "METRIC" SETTING (KPH VERSUS MPH), WHICH SWITCHES THE SPEEDOMETER TO READ KPH AND AUTO TUNES THE ENGINE TO THE APPROPRIATE LEVELS TO MATCH KPH. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING THIS VEHICLE FOR THE LAST THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE ISSUE HAPPENED LAST NIGHT AROUND 1830 HOURS CET. ISSUE: WHILE ACCELERATING AND TUNING LEFT FROM A STOP (STOP LIGHT WITH THE CITY), THE ENGINE SUDDENLY LOSS POWER THEN JERKED INTO A LOWER GEAR, BUT SOMEHOW GOT STUCK IN 3RD GEAR RESTRICTING MAX SPEED OF ABOUT 25-30 MPH RUNNING AT 5000 RPMS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO STOP, START, AND PROCEED, I FOUND THE VEHICLE SEEM TO BE SLIPPING WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR, BUT WOULD NOT GO BEYOND 3RD GEAR CAUSING THE ENGINE TO STRAIN AND REV AT AN UNSAFE LEVELS. TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO SHIFT TO "L" TO MANUALLY ENGAGE THE ENGINE, BUT IT KEPT CHANGING BACK TO "D" AUTOMATIC. ALSO NOTED THAT WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES THE NEXT PROGRAMMED GEAR SHIFT (E.G. 2ND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR) IT THEN JERKS, STALLS FOR ABOUT 2-3 SECONDS, THEN SUDDENLY ENGAGES 3RD GEAR RUNNING AT EXTREMELY HIGH RPMS AND NEVER SHIFTS BEYOND THAT. NOW CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, DAMAGED, OR WRECKED.

THE "START STOP" FEATURE CAUSED A LIFE THREATENING HESITATION UPON ACCELERATION FROM A FULL STOP AT AN INTERSECTION. ENCLAVE DOES NOT OFFER ANY OVERRIDE FOR THIS OPTION. THERE MUST BE A FIRMWARE UPDATE PROVIDED BY GM TO ALLOW IT TO BE DISABLED!!! THIS IS GOING TO KILL SOMEBODY!!!
