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.
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

The contact owns a 2008 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that when the moon roof was closed, the shade was not solid and would allow the sun to shine through into the vehicle. The contact believed that the sun coming through the moon roof was the cause of her skin cancer. The contact called the manufacturer and requested a solid shade to block out the sun but they refused. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 10 and the current mileage was 24,019.
My 2008 Buick Enclave consistently has water leaks after it rains. There is a lot of condensation build up in the vehicle and water in the cargo area. The vehicle has been brought to the dealership 3 times for this issue, but it has yet to be repaired after 3 unsuccessful attempts (even though the dealership says the problem has been fixed).
Campaign 08V41000 issued 8.6.08 indicates that remedy is only available in certain, mostly northern states. Since I live in one of the other states it must be unsafe for me and my family to travel to one of the listed states. I realize the GM is trying to keep the cost down, but this recall as listed, does not make sense since I travel in the winter to the covered states.
