The 2021 Buick Enclave has a history of transmission problems, which should be closely monitored as it is a crucial component of your vehicle. Various owners have reported transmission failures, leading to unexpected breakdowns and potential safety hazards. One California Enclave owner shares their experience:

Engine Problems

In addition to brake and transmission problems, the 2021 Buick Enclave has also been associated with engine issues. Engine malfunctions can lead to unexpected shutdowns, loss of power, and difficulties shifting gears. One owner describes their ordeal:

“When driving my car down the street today, it abruptly stopped in the middle of the street and the engine locked up… This is the 3rd transmission that I have had in this car. It is a 2021 Buick Enclave with just over 12,000 miles.”

Another owner highlights the frustration with the auto start/stop feature:

“This vehicle (2021 Buick Enclave) has an auto stop-start feature that the dealer refuses to override. The problem is that if you are stopped to make a left turn, the engine stops. When you need to go when there is a break in traffic, there is a hesitation to get going just when you need instant power.”
