What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2018 buick enclave. While the vehicle was at a stop, it stalled and hesitated to move. The contact stated that the automatic stop feature on the vehicle caused the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that there was no remedy. The failure mileage was approximately 3,500. Consumer stated the engine auto stop feature causes engine to go dead every time I come to complete stop. Engine starts after break is released.
During normal commute, vehicle began bucking badly, would not accelerate and began rolling backwards. Check engine light illuminated. Shut vehicle down, restarted, and the problem seemed to clear. Brought vehicle to dealership, found codes p0011, p0014, p0021 and p0024 set. Dealership contacted GM, who acknowledged the issue but offered no fix. They are still studying the issue and have no resolution. Dealership cleared codes and released vehicle back to us. Issue may return at any time.
