As my husband was backing out of the garage to the East and turning the back end to the North so we could head forward out of our drive which is on a curve, the car accelerated and the brakes would not work. We went backwards down a very steep drive that goes to our machine shed and towards the bottom we were stopped by a tree. We could have suffered head trauma from the abrupt stop. If we had been backing out of the drive or a parking place, since we couldn’t stop, there could have been others involved and severe injuries. I called the sheriff’s office and they filed a report. Our insurance agent came out and took pictures. I called General Motors Buick and they opened a case. The car was towed to the body shop the dealership we bought it from uses. We noticed no warning lights or messages on the dash. After everyone left, I got on my computer and there were 2 diagnostic warning emails. One for the antilock brakes and the other for the StabiliTrac control systems,.

The vehicles low beams fail to properly illuminate the road, and create a significant blind spot in your vision. We bought a brand new 2023 Buick Enclave and noticed on the first night drive that the vehicles lighting has a very large blind spot where it fails to properly illuminate the road. When switching too high beams the blind spot is diminished but not eliminated. We immediately took the vehicle back to the dealer where they adjusted the lights. However, all that they accomplished was to move the blind spot more central to the vehicle. When traveling up or down hills the lighting problem changes. When traveling up a hill the blind spot is moved closer to the vehicle creating a larger hazard. Traveling down hill the lighting blind spot is moved a bit further out. This is truly a very big safety concern especially when around pedestrians at night as it is nearly impossible to seem them until the very last second. The lighting problem and safety is worse when traveling at higher speeds as you have no time react when things suddenly appear from a blind spot in the vehicles head lights. I have attached several pictures. Please get in contact with me if you have further questions. All attached photos have been taken with an iPhone 13 and have no visual enhancements.

After purchasing this 2023 Buick Enclave July 26, 2026 two days later I heard a vibrating rattle coming from under the hood. I raised the hood and pinpointed the noise to be coming from under the motor cover. I could not remove that cover myself. I reported it to the dealership where I bought it and they said when I bring it in to have the Paint And interior, Protection to be applied that they would take a look for that rattle sound. After their inspection on 9/16/26 they called me back and said that it was the EVAP purge solenoid tube. And that the fix would be to put two rubber dampeners onto the purge tube line to isolate the vibrations and stop it from hitting other engine components. Then secure the dampeners with tie straps. They wanted to charge me $331 to do that. I said I’m not paying that so I proceeded to look up this information online and I found there’s an actual Technical service bulletin. It’s not an official safety recall but GM is aware of it and the bulletin number is 21 – NA – 023. So I spoke with my bumper-to-bumper warranty people and they said that if the actual purge valve piece was not broken, then it would be most likely at my expense. The noise is caused by fuel vapor pulsations vibrating through the EVAP purge solenoid tube. The Symptom: drivers typically notice a rapid clicking or rattling sound under the hood, which can sometimes be mistaken for engine knock or failing engine mounts. Note on code: This specific bulletin is strictly a noise concern and does NOT trigger a check engine light or throw trouble codes like P0496 on its own. The notice from GM also states that if a vehicle is still covered under its factory, bumper-to-bumper or emissions warranty, the repair should be completed free of charge. If you are out of warranty, you may be subject to diagnostic fees or out-of-pocket cost for the fix. After speaking with the service department at that dealership, they said that they were not going to replace the purge valve.
