OUR BUICK ENCLAVE 2011 HAD JUST STARTED DOWN THE DRIVEWAY WHEN IT GOT SLIGHTLY STUCK IN A SMALL AMOUNT OF SNOW. THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF AND MY HUSBAND WENT TO GET A SHOVEL TO RELEASE THE SNOW BY THE WHEEL. WHEN HE TURNED AROUND, BLACK SMOKE WAS COMING FROM THE CAR! HE IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT. IT ONLY TOOK A FEW SECONDS AND FLAMES BURST FROM THE CAR AND IT MADE POPPING NOISES. THE ENGINE OF THE CAR AND THE ENTIRE INSIDE, (SEATS, STEERING WHEEL, GLOVE COMPARTMENT ETC.) WERE COMPLETELY DESTROYED. THE FIREMAN STATED THAT IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE. WE PURCHASED THE CAR IN OCTOBER, 2010. WE HAVE NOW FOUND SIMILAR FIRES ON THE INTERNET BUT HAVE NOT SEEN 2011. WE FEEL THIS INFORMATION SHOULD BE MADE PUBLIC AND GMC MUST FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED. MY HUSBAND WOULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING DOWN A STEEP HILL AND IF THE FIRE STARTED THERE HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET OUT! *TR

AIR BAGS
THE DAY WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE, THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT CAME ON WHEN WE TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE BUT THE SALES MAN ENSURED US THAT THEY COULD FIX THAT. WELL WE THOUGHT THEY DID AND KEEP SAYING THAT EVERYTIME WE LEAVE THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE HAVE HAD OUR VEHICLE TO THE SHOP FOR THIS SAME 'SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT' AT LEAST 10 TIMES SINCE NOVEMBER 25, 2011. VERY FRUSTRATING!! *TR
