2008 intermittently and unexpectedly shuts off while driving. No matter the speed. Sometimes 30mph on the street, sometimes 70mph on the expressway. Sometimes it starts right back up, sometimes it doesnt. No one seems to know why. Cars cost too much to be playing guess the problem!! take to dealer at $100. A visit for them to guess and ultimately not fix the problem. Because a week later the vehicle is doing the exact same thing you took it in for. I just wish someone new what the real problem was. Very disappointed in GM. This vehicle has had so many problems, but it's supposed to be low end luxury. It's dangerous and I guess people have to start dying and a class action lawsuit against GM will happen before anything is done.

I have had continuous problems over the last year with the stabilitrack system going off and it telling me to service stabilitrack. However, now my transmission is going out and I have a car that I owe way too much for and can't afford to get the transmission fixed. On top of the transmission my ignition only works part of the time. There is no point in replacing the ignition if the transmission is gone. I have already replaced the motor on the windshield wipers but apparently the previous owner had the motor replaced during the recall so I had to pay out of pocket for that. Not to mention spending over $200 just to get my headlight bulb replaced at a shop because its not simple enough to just take the cover off and replace the bulb. This car has been nothing but a money pit. The transmission has been acting a little strange like occasionally not wanting to shift one day and then being fine the next. The other day I was driving and it wouldn't shift, rev"D up to 4000 RPM and wouldn't go over 40 mph. I'm at the point where I can not afford to continue to pay full coverage insurance plus my car payment on a car I cannot drive.

The transmission is in limp mode and is not responding. I call the manufacture low jack security system and they said I need to buy the insurance before they can unlock the vehicle. I think they playing with the computer of my vehicle. My car was running okay. No I can't use this car anymore!

Wave plate failure at 80 mph (legal speed in sd). Fortunately no accident or injuries - it could have been a lot worse! tow truck driver said this is a common GM transmission issue. Apparently a known defect as GM issued special coverage for the vehicle to 120,000 miles or 10 years. This vehicle is at 11 years, 2 months, but only 55,128 miles. Most definitely a safety issue and widespread enough that these vehicles should be recalled.

This SUV is the devil it self. Is giving me all kind of problem right now it have a limp mode and I have no idea what to do the transmission is not working in any gear. The soft codes said P0171, P 0174, P 0420, P 0300 is crazy. I have change the alternador, the purge valve, the valve canister on top of the gas tank and the other sensor that tell you about the fumes of the tank went filling. I also change the PCV valve all the breathers hoses in the intake housing, I change the troutle body, the spark plugs, the coils, the intake gaskets, the oxigents sensors, the batery poles. And this SUV still giving me problems now it went to a transmission limp mode and is not coming out not even if you erase the codes and all fuses are good.

At 146,938 miles, the engine has died (pistons have collided with valves at two points and engine has jumped timing). The transmission needs to be replaced for the second time (originally replaced at 56K miles). There was no sign on the dash that there was a problem with either.Buick offered no help with this being so unusual for the engine to need to be replaced and the transmission for the second time.

- Tampa, FL, USA

While driving in the city the RPM's was fluctuating from around 2,000 and 3,000. And also got stuck in 3rd gear. Once cleared the code it worked a little, once trying the gears in low the changing in gears was more smooth.

Transmission had an overheat indication on a trip. Had the trans fluid replaced, car worked fine for another 1K miles. Car would then not shift properly, nor could it be shifted manually, took it in. Tech found a wiring connector with bad continuity, fixed that. Car good for two months. Trans began slipping badly and would only go into three gears, could not drive over 30 mph on the freeway after a 65 mph cruise. Transmission required complete replacement at 158K miles. Cost $4,285. Come to find out this known defect has happened to thousands of Enclave/acadia/Saturn SUVS since 2008. Some with as little as 20K miles, others up to 200K miles. Of course, nothing has been done about this. This is a safety and drivability issue that needs to be recalled and the owners compensated for their repair costs. Insane!

My service stabilty track keeps coming in and off and it's like the car just wants to stop as I'm driving on a major highway. Also, my check engine light is now on and staying on and seems to be with the transmission. The car will not go over 20/25 mph and the rpms are going up really high with out the car really accelerateing. It's even worse knowing my children where in the car and it to happen out of no where. I have been in motion with both issues from fine one minute and not the next. I have a pic of what happens with the stabilty track but didn't get one with power problem due to where and when I was on road to dangerous. Service stabilty track happened 08/28/2018 and the power trans problem happened 09/01/2018 and is still a problem not able to drive vehicle. Will try a pic and upload later if possible. Was driving on hwy 20 in Nebraska on both occurrences coming home from work on 08/28/2018 and headed down same hwy to go camping with my children on 09/01/2018 with power team problem that is still happening not driving vehicle now.

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.

Loss of power completely during merging into expressways. Transmission will not allow vehicle to accelerate.

- Kaukauna, WI, USA

Transmission failed while in motion at 116,000 miles. Began shuddering / slipping while driving uphill. Eventually jammed in 2nd gear and will not shift, with check engine light (code P0700). GM will not replace it because it is 6 months past the "extended coverage" of their service bulletin. (10 years / 120,000 miles). I am now having to pay $3,800 to have certified transmission replace the transmission.
