Enclave 3.6L Sfi Alum

  • Automatic transmission
  • 72,000 miles

I have had problems with this car from day one, I have spent over $5,000 in less than 6 months on all kinds of problem with this car. I had to replace the lift gate lock and shock, replace the intermediate shaft steering wheel, replace driver seat track. Then back in shop in less than a month to replace the steering column and intermediate shaft. Then a month later back in shop, replace the valve body and related part, replace XM radio system. In Nov. had to car back in shop to replace power steering pump, replace both inner and outer axle shafts. I believe I'm entitle to a refund or something from trouble vehicle has cost me. I holding on receipts of all repairs this vehicle has cost me.

Enclave CXL 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 70,000 miles

Now that I've had to replace my entire transmission I am having to replace the front steering bearings. This is on a 2008 vehicle with pretty low mileage. I've had more problems with this vehicle than I have with my 1999 Infiniti with almost 200,000 miles on it. Piece of crap.

Enclave CX 3.6L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 34,797 miles

Since purchase, mid-way through turning I will feel and hear a click. Mechanics say it has to do with the angle at which the steering is joined at the pinion (?), that the problem is common and that replacement results in a temporary fix. With the cover removed from the underside of the steering, you can see that the steering does not mate parallel.
