What owners wrote
Vehicle transmission either, slips, doesn't shift or shifts erratically. The engine misfires at times. Steering issues. Navigation system issues, strut failure, heated seat failure. ## VIN failed ##
Was driving on ramp to enter highway, with my three 6 and younger children, and also 7 months pregnant! The enclave just stalled and still can not start but one time it did, but it sounded like it was going to blow up making weird noises so I shut it off right away. I have been researching this and I see it is very common with 2009 & 2010 enclaves. I don't understand why nothing has been done?
