2011 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER STATES PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AIR BAG *TGW THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES FOR THE SAME AIR BAG PROBLEM.
2008
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
OUR 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE BEGAN LEAKING WATER ONTO AND UNDER THE DASHBOARD FROM THE SUNROOF. NOT ONLY HAS THIS BEEN A KNOWN PROBLEM SINCE 2008, BUT THERE WAS AN ACTUAL RECALL THAT YEAR TO FIX THIS LEAK. FOR SOME REASON OUR VIN NUMBER WAS EXCLUDED FROM THE ORIGINAL RECALL BUT IT IS EXPERIENCING THE EXACT SAME ISSUES THAT THE RECALL WAS TO ADDRESS. THIS LEAK CAN CAUSE SEVERAL SAFETY ISSUES INCLUDING CORROSION AND FAILURE OF AIRBAG SYSTEMS, THE FUSE PANEL, THE BLOWER MOTOR THAT OPERATES THE DEFROST/DEFOG FUNCTION, AND A BUILDUP OF MOLD AND MILDEW. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT MY FUSE PANEL IS SHOT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. I SUSPECT THAT I HAVE OTHER DAMAGED ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS AS WELL. I HAVE ATTACHED THE URL'S OF SEVERAL SITES WHICH REFERENCE THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS PROBLEM IS OCCURRING WITH THESE VEHICLES. IT IS OBVIOUS THAT THE INITIAL RECALL DID NOT COVER ALL OF THE VEHICLES WITH THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM AND NOW WE ARE STUCK WITH A DEALER QUOTE FOR $1900 REPAIR THAT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE BLOWER MOTOR AND AIRBAGS. I WOULD APPRECIATE A PROMPT RESPONSE AS I CAN'T DRIVE IN THE RAIN AND AM CONCERNED ABOUT HIDDEN DAMAGE THAT COULD AFFECT THE CAR'S SAFETY. THANKS.
