Black mold found in vehicle, rain leaked thru sunroof, found floor boards soaked in water, mold and moisture present on the dash, seats, air conditioning vents, and all over the interior. Back door liftgate doesn't work. Was not informed by seller of health dangers of this vehicle, nor did he inform us that it had been wrecked before.

Sunroof water leak. When it rains water pours from all parts of the roof onto the interior of the car. From falling water to water running down through the walls of every part of the car. It has started to cause electrical problems with the vehicle and also I have found mold under the carpet where the water accumulates. It is usually 1 to 2 inches of water on the floor boards after raining. Causing mold, rust and mildew. This happens whenever it rains, a little or alot. This may be causing unhealth iisues. It would be smart for Buick to fix these issues now before medical bills are involved.

Went to get out of the vehicle from driver side and the door wouldnt open. You can pull the door handle back but door will not open. Door will open from the outside. Also, the passenger side air bag notification comes on for a while but then will go off periodically. When you start the vehicle it will say "service air bag" (picture attached).

- Laurel, MD, USA

The contact owns a 2008 Buick Enclave. While operating the vehicle, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. Also, while driving in the rain, water leaked into the cabin and onto the floor of the vehicle, which caused the brake pedal to become slippery when depressed. The failures were not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer (eckenhoff Buick, 919 church rd, cherry hill, NJ) and the manufacturer were notified, but no solution was offered. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 130,000.

2008 Buick Enclave without accidents nor sunroof or windshield repair or replacement has been experiencing water leakage from visor joints, side curtain panels and under the steering column. My radio amplifier suffered water damage and 2" of water has pooled afoot of my vehicle floor. The issue has been present as of March 2018 and has returned for repair every two months since to date and is there again today. This issue is not able to be rectified nor solved. I have researched and found flooding and water accumulation issues are a known, common and repetitive issue with this make model and year. This will result in electrical and more significant power, and operation problems. A repair, fix compensation and deep cleaning is necessary.

Passenger side view mirror housing is attached to the body of the 2008 Buick Enclave in a very broad and bubbly manner. This enhances yet another large and dangerous blind spot. This blind spot is activated when a vehicle or pedestrian) approaches from 120-140 degree angle- or right hand side crossing merging into traffic or approaching the front of the vehicle to proceed across to the front end of the vehicle. When I attempt to pullout into traffic with two way passing vehicles and pedestrians, I stop and observe traffic, a car on the left is approaching the Buick it disappears into the blind spot where by assuming all clear to proceed to cross lanes of traffic to be stopped in the middle of the street by the surprise of a vehicle at the front corner nose of the vehicle. A near miss luckily if not an accident. If at a 4 way stop at times when the street doesn't line up perpendicularly but slightly askew, a vehicle is invisible until it is near accident. Countless times it is the other vehicle that stops short of my oversight due to the blind spot. A repair or fix is necessary!! this issue has been a problem for many years, I just did not know the appropriate venue to voice my concern and issue.

The rear hatch starts to go up when you press the button but about half-way up it reverses and the control motor pulls it back down-frequently hitting you in the head. Initially it was only occasionally but now it is every time we try to raise it.

After a horrable rain, I came to my car, and found the front passenger side was flooded.I followed the water leak and found it was the sunroof, took the car to Buick dealership, and found the drain tube was clogged, my warrenty did not cover it so I had to pay $178 for the repair. I then looked it up and found there is a known NHTSA item number on the car, it is 10026482. After looking into this I found it is a reoccurring problem, it needs to be fixed-blown out every 6 months. If it is a known problem it should have been fixed a long time ago. I am on a limited income and can not afford $178 every 6 months.it is destroying the carpet. I looked on youtube to see what the process is in fixing it and I see so many wires in the path of the water. I think this is a bigger risk factor than a simple leak. We have had this car for 6months now and this is the first problem. I have one family member and one friend that is interested in this car and I will be sure to let them know of the problems that we are begining to have. This car was taken to Buick dealership, national city, ca.

This 2008 Buick Enclave vehicle with this VIN# has had probably a hundred or more instances over the past year of the back hatch door lifting to about 2/3 of the way up, then suddenly for no reason it closes automatically by itself. The close button was never pushed. The most recent date this happened was below. Persons have had to duck out of the way to avoid being hit, but it actually has hit a person in the head several times. Always happens when car is stationary. It is not showing up as a recall on our VIN# on the GM recall site or on your website, however I have seen other websites that discuss this particular model and year as having a recall for this same reason.

I took my car to O'neil Buick today for a safety recall on my Enclave's lift gate. The recall letter from the dealer said that the lift struts may need to be replaced. Obviously the recall work would be free. I was happy to get the letter because my lift gate was broken. However the service department at the dealer said it would cost $275 for parts and $109 in labor. That is was just a coincidence that my broken lift gate was but not covered at all by the free recall. This felt like I was being cheated. I would like to ask for help from the ntsa.

The contact owns a 2008 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that the vehicle was leaking water on the driver and passenger side of the vehicle where the fillers that hold the side air bags were located. The vehicle was also leaking water through the roof in the rear, underneath the sensor used for reverse assistance. The rear seat belts were also leaking water. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer who stated that there were no recalls on the vehicle. The dealer determined that the headliner needed to be removed in order for a water test to take place to indicate the origin of the leak. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 135,000.

Lift gate stops at upper lift position and starts to close with out notice. If your not paying attention to full operation of lift gate can come down stricking a persons head. Seems that automation safey feature would be to stay open !!! not close unexspectedly??

I bought this 2008 Buick Enclave a year and a half ago with less than 80,000 miles on it, and it's been giving me transmission problems already. I almost got stranded and couldn't go aby faster than 30 mph. It almost cut off on me in the middle of the road. My transmission and engine both would lose power and wouldn't go past first geat. Myrpm hand went all the way up to 4 which it normally stays between 1 and 2, and my gas hand went from full, to half, full, and almost empty in a few seconds. Engine rides rough and has to take off speed. Transmission and engine problems were advised by Buick as being a known issue but apparently they haven't stayed true to their name "Buick." This is a safety hazard as I could've gotten easily hit with no take off speed as it barely moves. It has happened 5 times with these same issues but dealership kept saying that no codes would pop up to see what's the issue until a week ago, it did it again for about 5th time and I took it to the dealership who advised all kinds of codes were popping up with my engine and transmission. Also the writing on my control buttons have worn off and my front suspension needs replaced and my driver seat tracks which are not covered under my warranty. Buick nerds to hold true to their name and compensate or replace these detected 2008 Buick Enclaves. Buick is not holding true to their name. I'm very dissatisfied and is my first time being a Buick owner. Now the dealership is trying to fix these issues, bit I shouldn't have to pay anything.

The driver side inside door handle broke away from the mechanism. In order to exit the vehicle I had to roll down the window and use the exterior door handle. Locks, windows, and exterior handle work properly. I drove to work and it worked fine. When I parked and tried to get out it would not work. It happened originally in 10/2014. The dealership told me I had to replace the entire door, which I could not afford, so they "jerry-rigged" it with a screw and charged me $125 labor. It has now happened again, and another dealership said I can replace the interior mechanism for about $350. I contacted Buick cs regarding the issue, and was told that due to the age of my vehicle they could do nothing. This is a safety issue. In an emergency, I would not be able to exit my vehicle. And as a person with a disability this is a primary concern. On the internet, you can find hundreds of people who have had the same issue with the Buick Enclave and the GMC acadia. This needs to be investigated for possible recall.

The liftgate is broken. The hydraulics supporting it will not keep it in an open position and it falls if not held up manually. It also electronically misfires and will shut with the liftgate motor and cannot be stopped. It has closed on both me and my child. It is extremely dangerous and I am frustrated that it has been recalled with no repair date forthcoming.
