My car has shut off multiple times , electrical shorts, intermittent no start, intermittent misfires all the time but randomly , injector codes even when replaced and injectors are good , yes come check out my vehicle no shops can find out what's the problem practically the whole front end has been replaced and problems still happening it is congruent with a recall but shows nothing from vin
MY TRUCK STARTED TO JERKING WHILE I WAS DRIVING.WHEN I WENT IN THE DEALERSHIP TO GET A PIECE FOR MY INTER RIM WAS MISSING.STARTED THE TRUCK.WENT INTO REVERSE.WHEN I STARTED IN DRIVE WOULDN'T MOVE FORWARD.HAVEN'T HAD ANY PROBLEMS UNTIL TODAY.I HAD TO LEAVE IT AT THE DEALERSHIP FOR A DIAGNOSTIC..
THE FUEL GAUGE READS 1/4 FULL THEN A COUPLE MINUTES LATER READ EMPTY. IT FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY GIVING THE WRONG READING. SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS SAME YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE.
WHEN FILLING UP THE VEHICLE WITH GAS, IT IS FLOODING THE ENGINE... THERE IS ALSO ANOTHER ISSUE THAT WHEN YOU TURN OFF YOUR VEHICLE AND THE KEY IS OUT OF THE IGNITION, THE CAR AND RADIO STILL RUNS...APPARENTLY, THERE IS A FUSE BOX THAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.
MULTIPLE INSTANCES OF THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO A "NEUTRAL-TYPE-STATE" WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MERGE ONTO/INTO HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THIS HAS OCCURRED OVER 20 TIMES IN THE LAST 1.5 YEARS. DEALERSHIP TOOK CAR ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS AND WAS ABLE TO REPLICATE IT 1X. THEIR CORRECTIVE MEASURE WAS TO RE-DOWNLOAD TRANSMISSION SOFTWARE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM THAT POSES A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY RISK, AS THE SLIPPAGE CAN LAST ANYWHERE FROM 1 TO 3 SECONDS. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 BUICK ENCLAVE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR WOULD DISPLAY INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS AND CAUSE THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE WAS FRACTURED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 34,794.
TWICE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS OUR ENCLAVE WAS SHOWING LOW ON GAS (USUALLY NOT AN ISSUE) BUT BOTH TIMES THE CAR SPUTTERED TO A STOP. ONCE IT QUIT I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. EVEN AFTER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR, THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE SO I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR WITHOUT A JUMP. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE KEY WOULD LOCK UP IN THE IGNITION. ACCORDING TO BUICK EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. BASED ON WHAT WE ARE HEARING ON THE NEWS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE COBALT ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
