| The front driver and passenger doors have a very sharp plastic edge sticking out past the metal body of the door. this has caused injury to three people including myself. the plastic is so sharp that it has cut deep wounds into the legs of the person getting in or out of this vehicle. i have tried to find out if anyone else has had this problem and no one has brought this forward for review. i just can't believe that no one else has had this problem. maybe they figure they were clumsy and it was their fault. i cut the corners off and sanded them to a smooth finish to correct this problem. | |||

| I was exiting the freeway and started to touch the front window button down but it was the rear window button and immediately the whole car started this shaking and vibrating. i was shocked and shook-up by this event and immediately pulled over to the side.luckily, down the road a bit, i saw a buick dealership and proceeded to it. the service mgr. told me buick is aware of this problem which he called wind abatement.one of his associates even asked me if he could come with me so he could witness this event. so we did go back to the freeway,let rear window down, and he witnessed it himself.the buick dealer denied any defects in the car and advised me to crack a front window about an inch, then let the rear window down. this whole episode has left me in a state of shock and not knowing if this vehicle is safe to drive. | |||

| I purchased a new buick enclave on or about 4 feb. 2011, on or about 12 april 2011 i had the back window down without knowing it as i hit about 45 mph this horrible noise appeared in the car. i pulled off the road thinking that the engine blew up, but this was not the case. the sound came from having the back window down. i contacted the dealer about this and was told there was nothing that could be done about it. i later took decibel readings of this and they are at 94 db at 45 mph. as speed is increased the decibel readings also increased. i could only take the readings up to 60 mph as the decibel meter i had did not go above 120 db. this will cause hearing loss and possibly permanent hearing loss to small children and babies. this problem needs to be fixed as soon as possible. also the whole car shakes and is very distracting to the driver. | |||
