Engine Won't Turn Over, Won't Start
2008 Buick Enclave
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Buick dealer.
CarComplaints.com Notes: Buying the first model year of any vehicle is rarely a good idea. You become a guinea pig for the automaker and they are really not nice to guinea pigs.
The 2008 Enclave has a wide enough range of problems to issue a warning. There's transmission failure under 90k miles, new power steering units costing over $1,300, and enough engine complaints to NHTSA to scare anyone away.

I bought the car at an auction (AS-IS), I checked on the history and found a single owner and no significant issues or reported accidents. Low mileage (117k) and it lasted less than 12 hours before it was dead and needed a tow to a repair shop. I'll update the report when we get the cost and reason for the issue. The car would start and then instantly stop. I tried 8 times to start the car and the battery failed. We got a jump start and the engine would crank but not start.
