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.

Oldmill provided an exclusive 10 year / 160,000 km extended power train warranty provided that you service your vehicle with them for 10 years every 3 months for regular maintenance. After 5 years of doing this and maintenance costs ( stuff that you don't need to pay for on a new car and oil changes are free but still cost me $3000). I decided to take my car to a dealer closer to my house which after 2 years caused this warranty to expired without notice. All this time I'm thinking I'm covered for my transmission failure and that I didn't need to purchase an extended warranty. I was wrong!
Marketing Scam? I think so.
