WE OWN A 2008 BUICK ENCLAVE THAT HAS FAILED TO START THREE TIMES IN THE LAST 4 DAYS. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEM WITH THE BATTERY. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR WITH OUR TWO YOUR CHILDREN AND WE CAN'T AFFORD FOR THEM TO CONTINUE TO BE STRANDED. DEALER SAID THEY FIXED ISSUE WITH SOFTWARE UPDATE. APPARENTLY NOT AS IT WOULD NOT START AGAIN TONIGHT. *TR
MISSING EASY TO VIEW NAVIGATION COMPASS IN BUICK ENCLAVE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER DISPLAY. BECAUSE WE ORDERED THE OPTIONAL NAVIGATION SYSTEM TO OBTAIN THE REAR VIEW CAMERA DISPLAY, OUR DEALER ADVISED US THAT THE COMPASS DISPLAY CANNOT BE ADDED TO THE DIC DISPLAY AT THIS TIME. THE NAV COMPASS DISPLAY IS HARD TO VIEW ON THE LEFT UPPER SCREEN DISPLAY, NON-INTUITIVE, AND UNSAFE FOR THE DRIVER TAKING THEIR EYES OFF THE ROAD. AND, YOU MUST HAVE THE NAV DISPLAY ENABLED. OUR 2002 BUICK RENDEZVOUS HAD THIS DIC COMPASS DISPLAY AND THE 2011 CADILLAC SRX THAT WE WERE CONSIDERING BUYING. BUICK MARKETING/PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT MADE A POOR SAFETY DECISION IN NOT HAVING A REDUNDANT COMPASS DISPLAY FOR A MSRP $48.5K VEHICLE. I USED THIS DIC COMPASS DISPLAY IN UNFAMILIAR DRIVING AREAS FREQUENTLY. A MARKET FOCUS CUSTOMER SURVEY GROUP WOULD HAVE DISCLOSED THIS ISSUE. WE FILED A CUSTOMER COMPLAINT FORM WITH BUICK'S CAC CENTER. BUT, THE DEALER ADVISED ME THE CASE FILE WOULD BE SENT TO THE DEALER INSTEAD OF TO BUICK MARKETING/PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT! THE ROOMINESS AND VALUE WERE THE MAIN REASONS FOR SELECTING THE ENCLAVE. MOUNTING AN AFTERMARKET COMPASS IN A LUXURY VEHICLE IS A POOR SOLUTION! *KB
