Enclave

  • 87,000 miles
While driving my 2013 Buick Enclave traction control, service stabili track flashes across dasboard. The check engine light comes on and engine speed is drastically reduced. Car does not accelerate properly and rpms are not producing speed. Car is lethargic and signs begin without warning. Once engine is turned off and turned back on traction control rests and display messages disappear but check engine light remains on. Temperature or weather or type of road you are driving on does not play a factor in defect of traction control stabili track.

For the last six months I've had messages saying service stabilitrak, service traction control, engine power reduced, and then it slowed immediately which was frightening when you ate going 60 mph. My local dealership says its fuse nox which id arcing and will be almodt 600 to fix. Now my power steering pump is failing, terrible noises wgen turning and recalls have been issued to 2012S. Very tired of being afraid to drive my car.

On 3/21/18 I was pulling out of a gas station to head to work. My traction control light lit up as well as my engine light. Warnings went across my dash stating "traction control off" "service stabilitrack" "engine power reduced" I couldn't go over 40mph. I made it back to work. After work only the engine light was on. The next day I drove it and by the afternoon the engine light had gone off. This morning, 3/23/18 I drove to work without any complications. Due to weather we closed our office early. I pulled out of the parking lot and my traction control lit up as well as my engine light. All three warnings went across my dash again and this time I could not go above 20mph. I made it home with my flashers on. Once I got home I let my car sit for a couple hours and then took it around the block. Again only my engine light was on. We will take it to the shop once the weather clears.

Enclave 6-cyl

  • 28,000 miles
04/24/2014 3:56pm our 2013 Enclave suddenly went into reduced engine power mode while traveling on the interstate at speeds of 65-70 when suddenly speed was reduced to 35-45mph. My wife almost got rear ended. She contact onstar for diagnostics but they could not see any issue with the vehicle. (not issues or diagnostic codes found) when this happened the service stabilitrak light lit, traction off light lit, flashing service engine soon light lit. Car running rough and went into power reduced mode with sudden reduced speed while driving on hwy. To date this has now happened several times and until this past Sunday, 10/26/2014 had never stored a code to show a problem. This event showed a C0561 code stored. I contacted the dealership for an appointment but they were not able to look at it until today, 10/29/2014 at this point there apparently were too many drive cycles and the code had cleared. The dealership advised me to bring it in asap on the next event of this happening without turning the vehicle off, I have know idea when or where I'll be when it happens again.... this is a big safety issue with this vehicle and I just hope to not get into an accident from this before they are able to fix it.
