2014 Buick Enclave Problems

The vehicle has issues with the air bags and seats. If you move the seat the airbag light comes on. There were open recalls and while the dealership says they are repaired, this is an ongoing issue and the fixes appear to only be temporary.

I am not sure if I have the correct form. I puchased a 2014 Buick Enclave from Group 1 Toyota 20465 Southwest Fwy, Richmond, TX 77469. The dealership sold me this vehicle without addressing the safety recall. They claim it is not their responsibility.

My vehicle starts displaying traction control on the dash then says reduced engine power and looses power starting until u stop turn it off and crank it back up. Sometimes it runs really rough and you have to crank it back up. The ac goes in and out on it, sometimes it jerks while driving, after having a new transmission put in, 3 starters, 2 batteries! Everyone keeps telling me it’s something electrical but can’t figure out what or where. Replaces mass air flow sensor also

1)Numerous Gas Cap ‘red warnings’ were fixed each time 2)Driver-side ‘Seat Belt’. Fixed. 3)Check engine light ‘off and on’ will quit after 5-10 minutes 4)Stabilitrak/Traction-control (red light warnings), on and off, finally stayed on: Took back to Parsons of Antigo, WI dealership for repair; they said it was fixed. I left dealership at their closing time, started car, the car was shaking, called dealership/told them what was happening/they said bring it back on Monday—this was a Thursday evening after 6 PM! a. I had to drive this ‘shaking-car’ home approximately 35 miles away, while going about 30-40 mph/in a shaking car, seems car wanted to stop. Very frightening in the dark night. b.I had a wrecker come and take the car back to dealership. I do not care to deal with dealership after this—I changed to different dealership. c.About 3 years ago, while driving on US 8 outside of Rhinelander the car just ‘simply’ went off the highway; I quickly managed to bring the car back onto the highway blacktop. Is this for real? i.Until July 2025 I worked 40 hours/week and I believed and trusted that the repair services would inform me that I needed to beware of ‘this or that’; when usual car maintenance was completed. d.In 2019, going through a ‘Traffic Circle’ in Green Bay, WI area; this vehicle just would not stop (as I need to wait for cars coming from the left) and somehow, I made it through that circle without hitting another car or damaging this car! The police officer asked, ‘What happened?’ and I told him, ‘I have no idea what happened’. I was given a ticket for $175; that was mailed with a check before a certain date. i.Now, after reading all the ‘recalls and complaints’ I can understand ‘the why’ I had to endure driving with this vehicle’s unreliable mechanisms” throughout these years. 5)2021 Air bag ‘red light’ for Service recall Airbag/serviced. 2-19-2026 airbag another warning to replace again. PeopIe say this car looks like new. A 'lemon' buy

The engine, power steering, stabilitrak, and reduced engine power (vehicle would essentially die while driving at random times). My safety AND others were put at risk when I am traveling down the road/interstate and the engine just cuts out and am no longer able to accelerate to any speeds, causing me to have to pull over to the shoulder WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER. Yes, the problem has reproduced and confirmed with the dealer I purchased from. Vehicle has not been inspected by the above mentioned. Only had it inspected by the dealer I purchased the vehicle from. There were no prior lamps, messages, or other symptoms until it just showed up while driving one day. It happens at the same time as the engine loses power and acceleration. The check engine light comes on, within 2-3 seconds the engine "dies" and then the "Service stabilitrak" pops up, as well as the warning "Reduced Engine Power". This first appeared on approximately on 05 JUN 2026. Vehicle was purchased on 12 MAY 2026.

The contact owns a 2014 Buick Enclave. The contact had received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V334000 (Air Bags). The contact had not experienced a failure with the air bags; however, while driving at an undisclosed speed, the engine started overheating with the engine temperature hot. The contact added coolant until being able to get to the dealer. The vehicle was not diagnosed by dealer. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

For the past month, I had been unable to start the vehicle unless I would turn the key without fully starting the vehicle and having to shift to each gear until I would be able to start it. It would start in any gear, but mostly in neutral. Now, on September 25, 2024, I stopped at a shopping center and I was unable to turn the vehicle on at all and it is now stuck in that parking lot. I had not been able to report it because Hurricane Helene hit (September 26, 2024) and we just got power, but phone lines and internet are not stable and cut off in the middle of calls and we have issues uploading documents. I called GM about the issue yesterday and they said because my VIN is not on the recall list that I have to pay for my car to be towed ($89 hook up fee plus $8 per mile) and I have to pay for any repairs. The airbag needs to be replaced as well because it has not been replaced due to the dealership saying they had not received the part and the appointment would be cancelled, so I quit making an appointment to have the driver's side air bag replaced.

The Buick did a hard turn to the left, without any action of the driver, and went into an uncontrollable counterclockwise spin and hit the concrete divider. Prior to the accident the Buick was traveling in the right south bound lane of US 75 with the traffic flow. There was a light rain and no one was changing lanes or speeding. No other vehicle skidded or went out of control. The cause of the accident was not the weather or driver error. Possible causes for the accident are: faulty steering system, faulty antiskid system, or a computer glitch. The dealer would not talk to us. The Buick has not been inspected. No one will inspect it.

Service airbag light came on one week before airbags in the front driver in front passenger side ruptured on their own in the middle of driving. This is cars the seat belts and the front seats to lock up and we now have no airbags. We did bring it in to see if we could get it at least the steering wheel one replaced because of the recall but the dealership (todd wenzel) and Grand Rapids Michigan stated that they refused to do it because they thought we were in an accident but you can clearly see we were not in an accident. The vehicle was also sold to me by a dealership that did not disclose the airbags had a recall and I did not find out until after the purchase was made.

The contact owns a 2014 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that on several occasions while the vehicle was started, the message “Service Air Bags” was displayed, and the red seat belt warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and DTC: B0014 and B0022 were retrieved. The contact stated that the passenger’s side seat belt anchor pretensioner showed a poor connection and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. Additionally, the contact stated that after the diagnostic test was performed, the seat belt warning light was not illuminated at start up. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 85,500.

Blind spot is extremely large between the front windshield and side windows, because of the enlarged side view mirror housing. Entire vehicles and people can dissappear into these spots rendering them invisible to proceeding motorist.

My wipers would stop working. When they are on. I had to get them fixed. This is a safety issue and GM said it’s normal wear an tear.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 BUICK ENCLAVE. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH, A LOUD POP NOISE WAS HEARD. THE VEHICLE WAS PULLED OVER WHERE IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUN ROOF HAD SHATTERED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 69,300.

The engine, power steering, stabilitrak, and reduced engine power (vehicle would essentially die while driving at random times). My safety AND others were put at risk when I am traveling down the road/interstate and the engine just cuts out and am no longer able to accelerate to any speeds, causing me to have to pull over to the shoulder WITHOUT ANY ENGINE POWER. Yes, the problem has reproduced and confirmed with the dealer I purchased from. Vehicle has not been inspected by the above mentioned. Only had it inspected by the dealer I purchased the vehicle from. There were no prior lamps, messages, or other symptoms until it just showed up while driving one day. It happens at the same time as the engine loses power and acceleration. The check engine light comes on, within 2-3 seconds the engine "dies" and then the "Service stabilitrak" pops up, as well as the warning "Reduced Engine Power". This first appeared on approximately on 05 JUN 2026. Vehicle was purchased on 12 MAY 2026.

The vehicle began shuddering and losing power during normal driving. The issue occurs at various speeds, especially between 35–60 mph, and feels as though the car is slipping or will stall. A certified service center diagnosed a failing torque converter, which is part of the transmission/power train. The repair estimate was several thousand dollars. This failure poses a safety risk because the vehicle can suddenly lose acceleration or struggle to move in traffic. The service center confirmed the defect but stated there is no recall or assistance from Buick or GM. I have contacted Buick Customer Care and GM Executive offices with no response. The vehicle remains unsafe to drive.

VEHICLE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON RANDOMLY - AIRBAGS, CHECK ENGINE, ABS. THEY WILL LIGHT DURING DRIVE TIME, THEN BLINK OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. INSTRUMENT LIGHTING MAY OR MAY NOT LIGHT WHEN VEHICLE IS STARTED, AND INSTRUMENT CONSOLE AND/OR ENTERTAINMENT CONSOLE WILL NOT FUNCTION WHEN UNLIT. AGAIN, THIS HAPPENS RANDOMLY, AND OFTEN RESOLVES JUST AS RANDOMLY. HAVE HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY DEALER WITHOUT ANY ISSUES IDENTIFIED. ISSUES HAVE BEEN ONGOING FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS. THEY CAN OCCUR WITHOUT REGARD TO VEHICLE BEING IN MOTION.

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT ON A BUSY CITY STREET, BOTH HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. IT SCARED ME TO DEATH. I QUICKLY SWITCHED THE LIGHTS FROM AUTO TO MANUAL AND THEY CAME BACK ON. WITHIN SECONDS, HOWEVER, THEY WENT OFF, AGAIN AND DID NOT COME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT HOME WITHOUT INCIDENT, BUT VERY FRIGHTENED. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. WHEN THEY REMOVED THE BULB AND BALLAST, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT APPARATUS HAD WARPED BY OVERHEATING. THIS WAS THE SAME ON BOTH HEADLIGHTS. I WAS TOLD THE COST TO REPAIR WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $2,800 FOR PARTS, PLUS LABOR. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WARRANTY DID NOT COVER THE PROBLEM. IT IS CLEAR THE PROBLEM IS A DEFECT, RATHER THAN A MATTER OF REASONABLE WEAR AND USE. I HAVE SEEN THAT OTHER IDENTICAL COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN LODGED WITH THE NHTSA. ADDITIONALLY, THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ON-LINE OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL WHO MAY BE DRIVING THIS MAKE AND MODEL, I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST THAT A RECALL ORDER BE ISSUED.

The vehicle has issues with the air bags and seats. If you move the seat the airbag light comes on. There were open recalls and while the dealership says they are repaired, this is an ongoing issue and the fixes appear to only be temporary.

THE DRIVER SIDE CONTROL PANEL FRAME BROKE.NOTICED THE SEAT CONTROL PANEL HANGING OUT OF THE SEAT.

WHEN DRIVING YOU CAN HEAR THE CLUNKING NOISE THE VEHICLE MAKES WHEN ON THE ROAD. IT'S SOUNDS BAD AND I DON'T WANT IT TO GET ANY WORSE. I CAN NOT PINPOINT THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY ENCLAVE GETS THRE WORST GAS MILEAGE OF ANY VEHICLE I'VE EVER OWNED. MY 2003 TRAILBLAZER GETS BETTER GAS MILEAGE THAN THIS SUV BY ALMOST DOUBLE AND IT'S NOT VERY FUEL EFFICIENT. MY BOYFRIEND'S V8 SILVERADO ALSO GETS ABOUT 50% BETTER GAS MILAGE. IVE BROUGHT IT IN MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY KEEP SAYING THEY CAN'T FIND AN ISSUE BC THE COMPUTER ISN'T FLAGGING ANY ISSUES. THE DRIVER SIDE SHOCK THAT WAD REPLACED HAS ALSO ALREADY WENT BAD WITH NO REASON AND THE PASSENGER SIDE WHEEL WOBBLES WHEN REVERSING OUT IF A PARKING SPACE. THIS AGAIN WAS CHECKED AND THEY DENIED FINDING ANY ISSUES. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE AND THE RIDICULOUSLY PRICED AND WORTHLESS ADDITIONAL WARRANTY IN DECEMBER OF 2017.
