What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2010 buick enclave. The contact stated that the brake booster failed and caused the brakes to seize while traveling 45 MPH. The contact shifted through each gear and when the brakes were abruptly applied again, the vehicle exhibited a loud pop. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was confirmed that the brake booster needed to be replaced. The contact also stated that the ect switch in the transmission failed, causing the vehicle to become resistant to acceleration attempts.
1. While driving, vehicle entered "reduced power mode" making it impossible to maintain speed. This is a safety issue as driver loses ability to maintain speed while traveling with flow of traffic and with reduced engine power, even the ability to pull out of the lane of travel is impaired. Dealer identified bad throttle body as cause and replaced. 2. Power steering pump failure. Issue was identified due to whining noise prior to complete failure.
