What owners wrote
Our buick enclave 2011 had just started down the driveway when it got slightly stuck in a small amount of snow. The car was turned off and my husband went to get a shovel to release the snow by the wheel. When he turned around, black smoke was coming from the car! He immediately called the fire department. It only took a few seconds and flames burst from the car and it made popping noises. The engine of the car and the entire inside, (seats, steering wheel, glove compartment etc.) were completely destroyed.
Sitting in car with engine running and in park the dashboard lights starts blinking and the auto door locks starts locking and unlocking by themselves. It doesn't happen all the time just once in a while.
