| I purchased the vehicle used 1 month ago. on two occasions, the car has not started after getting gas. after several minutes, the car will start again. i believe this problem has been fixed by replacing the evap purge solenoid. on two occasions within the last week, the car would not start after being parked in the driveway overnight. the first time, the battery was completely dead and the car had to be towed in. the mechanic attributed the problem to low voltage, recharged the battery, and the battery tested good. five days later, the vehicle was dead again. a little research seems to indicate there may be a problem with battery drainage in the 2009 buick enclave. since purchase, the vehicle has been at the mechanic for more days than i have used it. *tr | |||

| The engine on my 2009 enclave was replaced in feb of 2012 because it was cracked , at the time i had approximately 32k on the car. there was no indication of a problem the car just died on a major highway. the car again died a few weeks later due to a timing belt snapping. on 8/10/12 i was traveling from my home state of new york to virginia for vacation, with my family, and the car lost power again on a major highway at 10:30 at night we had to have the car towed, find a hotel and then rent a car to get to our destination. this time it was a fuel injector and an o2 sensor. we have incurred over $900.00 in expenses we have contacted buick and they are not willing to do anything about this car. we will no longer be covered by a warranty after 50k the car currently has about 43k. the car has broken down 3 times since feb. each time with my family in it, there is never any indication that the car is going to break down it just dies. i am fearful to keep putting my family in this car what do i do? *tr | |||

| Vehicle 2009 buick enclave. keeps turning on the light engine and at the dealership they keep telling me that is because i don't close the gas knob correctly. when the engine light turns on while im driving it gives me a message of power engine reduce and it reduce my speed and i can't continue driving. i've almost cause 2 accidents while im driving due to this issue. it will completely stop in certain times while im driving. last incident 06/05/10. as well, my tire got flat around a month ago and i realized the dealership sold me the vehicle with no extra tire and emergency equipment to change my tire. *tr | |||
