2025 Buick Enclave

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving 10 MPH, the brakes suddenly failed with the "Brake Assist Failure" and "Service ESC" warning lights illuminated. After restarting the vehicle, the contact received a secondary message that the vehicle would be limited to 45 MPH, with an instruction to press the brake pedal very hard. The contact stated that the brake pedal felt extremely squishy and unsafe to operate because it failed to operate properly. On a separate occasion, the vehicle shut off without warning, with a very loud clicking sound coming from the vehicle. After several attempts, the vehicle was restarted, and the audio and electronics functioned as needed for minutes of driving. The vehicle was taken to the dealer for the electrical failure, and the technicians attempted a telematics control module reprogramming. The dealer stated that the module was already updated but discovered that the module was no longer communicating, which created several issues. After restarting the module, the vehicle was temporarily repaired. The vehicle was taken back to a local dealer but was not yet diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was 38,000.

The sunroof exploded without warning. Driving 57 MPH on a 55 MPH road, it was a sunny day, there were no cars around me and there were open fields on both sides of me. My daughter (17-years old) was starring up at the sunroof when the sunroof exploded.....And it sounded like a gunshot. Manufacturer would not warranty the sunroof as I could not prove the glass was not broken by an object.

The contact owned a 2025 Buick Enclave. While the contact’s daughter was driving through an intersection on a green light at an undisclosed speed, a truck crashed into the front driver’s side of the vehicle. Upon impact, the air bags failed to deploy. The contact and his wife and daughter were all transported for medical attention and were checked for injuries. The contact received a CT scan and was currently undergoing physical therapy and pain management injections for back and hip injuries. The contact’s wife underwent CT scans, and the daughter was awaiting an MRI result following the follow-up with the primary care physician. A Police report was filed, and the vehicle was deemed a total loss by the insurance. The vehicle was towed to a tow lot. The dealer and the manufacturer were notified of the crash, and the manufacturer provided a case number. The failure mileage was approximately 14,300.

Driving at 30mph and all the dashboard lights turned on and all the warnings kept popping on the dashboard and 30 seconds later the brakes were not working when I was approaching a busy intersection. I was able to pump the brakes and stop the vehicle and put it in park and the vehicle shut off and nothing would work - not even the hazard lights. The vehicle is currently at the dealership being assessed.

I was driving and a variety of failure warnings popped up on my screen along with a total brake failure, unable to stop, had to coast until the vehicle was no longer moving. No accident resulted, but it could have been very serious. Mechanics diagnosed it as a loose battery cable.

The Automatic Emergency Braking (AEB) system activates unexpectedly and dangerously. Incident 1 5/7/2026: While driving approximately 2 mph in a drive-thru and rounding a curve, the vehicle suddenly applied full braking without warning. The braking force was severe enough that I struck my face on the steering wheel and my child was thrown forward in a secured car seat. Incident 2 5/19/2026: While merging onto a busy road behind a semi truck, the vehicle again applied sudden hard braking after I safely merged. This caused the vehicle behind me to nearly rear-end me, creating a high-risk traffic situation. These events occurred with no obstacle or reason that would justify emergency braking. In addition, the vehicle developed a coolant leak around 20,000 miles, raising concerns about overall reliability and potential related system issues. The unexpected braking presents a serious safety hazard and increases the risk of rear-end collisions and injury. The vehicle is being brought to a dealer for inspection, but the issue is intermittent and may not be easily reproduced.

The brakes make a squealing noise when backing up and this has been reported on many 2025 enclaves. There is also a repeated clicking noise after turning the vehicle off.

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Enclave. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the cruise control mode became inoperable, and the vehicle unexpectedly shut off. The contact also stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, messages related to the braking system, forward collision system and the ABS were displayed. Additionally, the ABS was inoperable during inclement weather, and the vehicle became unsafe to drive. The contact pulled over to the side of the road because children were also inside the vehicle. The contact’s husband then drove the vehicle to the dealer, where the failure was duplicated, and several diagnostic trouble codes were retrieved. The dealer informed the contact that the failure was a known issue and that several technical service bulletins related to the failure had been issued. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle was unsafe to drive and posed a risk to the contact and other drivers. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 15,000.

The car frequently just slams on the brakes on its own when reversing. Doesn’t matter the speed, and nothing is behind me at all. It also triggers a check engine light with transmission errors if you get a car wash and it is even mildly cold. Transmission errors when it gets too cold or snow in the grill.

I had my new 2025 Enclave in the shop 8 times. Buick says, once??? GPS has gotten us lost 12 times. GPS had us exit [XXX], 3 times , do u-turns, only to get back on [XXX]. In Arcadia, FL. GPS had us do 3 left turns to get back where we were. Ace Hardware near me on [XXX] . I am on [XXX] . I can see Ace Hardware also on the street I am on. GPS wanted me to make SEVEN turns to get to where I could see. Going to Beall's on [XXX] . I am on [XXX] . I can see Beall's ahead on the left. GPS wanted me to pass Beall's, take a left on [XXX] . Go through the next subdivision and return to where I was9 now in Beall's parking lot). Two photos attached are me going to Ace and I can see it.

This happens every single day, not just today, but are two separate issues related to my brakes. 1- squealing brakes. Every single day and for several miles before they warm up. The first time I brought this issue to the attention of the dealership, they replaced the brakes, and there was no squealing for just a few days. I forced the dealership within a week to let them know, I had to bring it back in, and they said they were fine and would just squeal. To this day, I have no idea if this is safe or not, but haven’t been able to receive a message that they squeal for any specified reason, which does not ease safety concerns. 2- my app told me that I had only 18% brake pad life remaining when I was around 11k miles. I took it in and they said they just reset the sensor without fixing the brakes because they didn’t know why it was doing that - its now clear to me that this isn’t an accurate reflection of true brake life measurements and is most likely just based off of miles driven instead of a true measurement, as advertised. I love this car, but am super disappointed that my brakes are so consistently loud - it’s both embarrassing and worrisome. And to make the dealership aware and just have them reset a sensor for this completely separate concern is honestly obnoxious.

Onstar keeps running and failed. Nothing works on car without it. Its dead after shutting it off. And no safety features work.

Brakes are extremely noisy at low speeds. Dealer advice that this is normal When driving at low speeds brakes squeak extremely loud This is clearly a defect that GM needs to address They keep using the excuse that is the the high quality pads that they are using

Catastrophic engine failure. We were left stranded in [XXX] while on a trip. No warning lamps. Vehicle was towed and inspected by the Buick dealership service department. Took 3 months to get our vehicle back which had to be transported back to the state in which we live. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My wife's 2025 Buick Enclave with less than 10,000 miles (around 9,800) stranded us on the highway. Transmission was shuddering and felt like we were hitting rumble straps on acceleration. Then, we couldn't go over 18 mph, then it just stopped. Couldn't even pull off to the side of the road because the electronics wouldn't let the vehicle go into neutral to allow us to push it onto the shoulder. Eventually we got it off the Interstate to a residential area. When tow truck arrived, they couldn't get it into neutral and had to drag it onto the wrecker with generous amounts of WD-40. That can't be good for the vehicle. The vehicle is at Randy Wise Buick in Fenton, Michigan. We were lucky not to have been hit on the Interstate. Biggest worry is not the transmission problem but that we couldn't even push it off the roadway.

While slowing down with foot of accelerator, to stop at an intersection, the rear wheel’s momentarily locked up.

See attached document for complaint.

Digital dash display is completely black. There is no display of speed, lane departure, back-up camera or parking assist/surround view camera. Neither vehicle restart nor software reset corrects the issues.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? - Had to do with the Transmission. Something about internal loose bolts from the factory in the torque converter that cause transmission fluid leakage and making the car undrivable. Might be related to PIP6005 or CSP N242473580) How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Not being able to take off from a stoplight could have been easily rear ended. Had it broke a came to a complete stop on the interstate, my wife and kids could have been killed from high speed impact at the rear of the vehicle could have life impacting injuries or death. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Inspected by Dealer Don Hewlett Chevrolet Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? None at all
