2014 BUICK ENCLAVE

The rear powered liftgate on a 2014 Buick Enclave unexpectedly fell without warning while the vehicle was parked and the liftgate was fully open. The liftgate suddenly closed and struck the operator on the head. There were no warning lights, messages, or prior indications of a malfunction before the incident. The impact caused a concussion that required emergency medical evaluation, including a CT scan and follow-up neurological care. The incident occurred during normal use of the vehicle while loading items into the rear cargo area. The liftgate system has not been repaired and remains available for inspection. The component currently appears to operate normally, and the malfunction has not been reproduced since the incident. No prior symptoms or warnings were observed before the failure. The sudden closure of a powered liftgate presents a safety risk because it can strike occupants standing beneath it, including adults or children loading cargo. The vehicle and liftgate system have not been inspected by a dealership or manufacturer since the incident.

I own a 2014 Buick Enclave experienced two major safety‑related failures. First, while driving on the highway, the vehicle suddenly lost throttle response and triggered a check‑engine light with code P1682 (Ignition 1 Switch Circuit 2). After replacing the ignition relay in the under‑hood fuse box, the issue seemed resolved temporarily. A few weeks later, while stopped at a traffic light, the vehicle displayed “Traction Control Off,” followed by “Engine Power Reduced,” and began shaking violently. The engine warning light turned on, and the car became undrivable in traffic, creating a dangerous situation. A mechanic later confirmed no failure in the replaced ignition relay. The root cause may be a design flaw in the fuse box and its bottom wire‑harness connection, which is known to loosen because the two internal securing screws do not get tighten at all, its freely moving and not securing anything. This potential defect has reportedly affected multiple GM vehicles from 2013–2015, posing serious safety risks and potentially leading owners to spend significant money on repairs without resolving the underlying issue. In Buick Forum, thousands of customers experiencing the same issue, spending thousands and suffering financial implications and severe safety threat just for a careless design and carelessness in addressing a small design issue!!!

I am not sure if I have the correct form. I puchased a 2014 Buick Enclave from Group 1 Toyota 20465 Southwest Fwy, Richmond, TX 77469. The dealership sold me this vehicle without addressing the safety recall. They claim it is not their responsibility.

The "Service Airbag - Passenger" warning light suddenly appeared on the console of my 2014 Buick Enclave. Once I arrived home, I Googled what the light indicated and I also sorted through mail I had recently received from Buick that notified me of a recall. Convinced that I needed to resolve the issue promptly, I contacted the dealership we purchased the vehicle from and they informed me to come in so they could hook the diagnostic machine to the car to determine the codes. I went into the dealership early the following morning (work order initiated at 8:21AM). I explained the situation again, and was told that they'd perform a complimentary diagnostic test to determine the issue. The service advisor listed "Safety Recall - Driver Front Airbag Inflator May Rupture" [I did notify them that the warning light indicated it was the passenger side airbag]. At 9:00 AM I received a text message "To review the inspection and approve the recommendations": CUSTOMER STATES SERVICE AIRBAG MESSAGE CHECK AND ADVISE [Other]: DIAG, NEED 1.5HR DIAG TIME TO TEST CIRCUITS RELATED TO PASSENGER AIR BAG FOR CODE B0021 PASSENGER SEAT SIDE AIR BAD DEPLOYMENT LOOP. (NEED TOI REMOVE SEAT TO TEST)$389.93 -- yes, I approved. But when questioning why there was a charge for the resolving the recall issue, I was told, "It's a different issue than the recall." Then I was told they'd need to remove the seat to get to the wires/connectors for the airbag and that cost would be $519.90 BYPASS THE AIR BAG CONNECTOR UNDER THE SEAT BY SOILDERING THE 4 PIN CONNECTOR TOGETHER. INTERBNAL FAULT IN CONNECTOR CASUING HIGH RESISTANCE. Also add $44 Shop Charge. The "free recall repair" cost us $957.46 (I did ask for the military discount since this was totally unexpected and immersed with the planned costs for the holidays). I feel like this is unfair and inappropriate to charge customers for a service that should have been covered. I would have never come into the dealership had it not been for the recall

I was notified of the recall May 10,2023 Manufacturer Recall NumberN232404980 NHTSA Recall Number23V334 by mail. I called my Buick dealer and was told they had the part. I set up an appointment and took my car in for the repair, and was told they made a mistake and didn't have the part after all and that they would let me know when they got it in. I guess now all I can do is sit and wait to be notified, however long that will take. 2014 Buick Enclave Leather [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I got the notice air bag recall and gmc said it's passenger front seat side . They said it's discontinued and Wana use another 1 and charge me 500.00 plus labor. I just paid 398.00 for them to tell me this don't think that's fair what can I do if it's a recall I paid for nothing

The vehicle began shuddering and losing power during normal driving. The issue occurs at various speeds, especially between 35–60 mph, and feels as though the car is slipping or will stall. A certified service center diagnosed a failing torque converter, which is part of the transmission/power train. The repair estimate was several thousand dollars. This failure poses a safety risk because the vehicle can suddenly lose acceleration or struggle to move in traffic. The service center confirmed the defect but stated there is no recall or assistance from Buick or GM. I have contacted Buick Customer Care and GM Executive offices with no response. The vehicle remains unsafe to drive.

I was involved in an accident that myself and my passenger were injured in due to our airbags not deploying and because of this we both hit our heads. I hit the steering wheel they hit the dashboard and side windows.

The contact owns a 2014 Buick Enclave. The contact stated while the vehicle was parked and occupied, while attempting to start the vehicle, the contact became aware that the air bag warning light was illuminated more than five times. A dealer was contacted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that that GM Part Number: 13576628 (Module 16.712) needed to be replaced, and the contact was provided and estimate for the repair. The air bag inflator was replaced, and the vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The contact stated that the failure had occurred several times. The failure mileage was unknown.

I am submitting this statement regarding an ongoing issue with the driver seat airbag in my vehicle. The airbag warning light continues to illuminate intermittently. I have had the issue looked at multiple times by my mechanic. He has replaced parts underneath the seat in an effort to resolve the problem, but the warning light still returns. At times, the light will go off temporarily, only to come back on again later. I have noticed that the only way the light sometimes changes is when I move the seat back and forth. There is no other visible damage underneath the seat, and no other cause has been identified. Despite repeated repair attempts, the issue remains unresolved, and I am concerned about the reliability and safety of the airbag system.

The contact owns a 2014 Buick Enclave. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V334000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer however, the parts were not yet available. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue.

Purchased vehicle almost a year ago with Mobile dealership telling me they were unable to have air bags replaced due to lack of parts from manufacturer. I have been in contact every few months with local dealership (Mullinax in Montgomery, AL) checking on status of recalled airbags. July 2025 I received a letter from General Motors to contact local dealer as airbags were available for recall. I did so and dealership confirmed part and scheduled appointment for repair for a month later. On date of appointment I was on time delivering vehicle as they confirmed it would take most of the day. Three hours later I was called saying there was no airbags available to me and that I would have to be put on a waiting list as one was ordered. I have read where these malfunction causing major damage to vehicle which dealerships and GM do not cover. I cannot afford this type of damage and don't understand how a month goes by where you have the part and then on the day of repair you don't.

Service airbag light came on one week before airbags in the front driver in front passenger side ruptured on their own in the middle of driving. This is cars the seat belts and the front seats to lock up and we now have no airbags. We did bring it in to see if we could get it at least the steering wheel one replaced because of the recall but the dealership (todd wenzel) and Grand Rapids Michigan stated that they refused to do it because they thought we were in an accident but you can clearly see we were not in an accident. The vehicle was also sold to me by a dealership that did not disclose the airbags had a recall and I did not find out until after the purchase was made.

See attached document for complaint. In June 2023, I received a safety recall from GM, identified with the number N232404980, informing me that my 2014 Buick Enclave SUV, VIN : had a dangerous defect in the front-driver airbag inflater. The letter stated that the necessary parts to repair my vehicle were not available on that date. For the past two years, I have been calling the dealers closest to my address, and they always give me the same response: "We don't have that spare part available yet" and that I should keep waiting . Two years have passed since their recall, and they still have not resolved my problem. Therefore, I am writing this letter so that you know that I am awaiting soon repair, and also to record that they are aware of the situation and that, therefore, GM is responsible for any safety issues that may arise due to your failure to guarantee the means of correcting the aforementioned defect in my car.

At 85,000mi my transmission failed while driving on the highway. The dealership kept the transmission so it can not be inspected. This was extremely dangerous with my whole family in the car too. No lights illuminated on the dash board just rpm flew up with the vehicle not moving. There were no indications that anything was going to fail. No stored or active codes were detected in the vehicle. The issue I was told was the problem was #16-NA-013 No Reverse, No Third. This issue is supposed to only be on 2016 vehicles and mine was the first. The dealership stapled this #16-NA-013 document to my invoice. The only fix was an entirely new transmission for $7500.

The Service Air Bags indicator has been on for 3 years and I have tried to get this taken care of with Buick, East Side Madison as I have indicated on another complaint form December 06 2024 NHTSA ID Number: 11629225. Now, today my daughter tried to open the door and the car's electrical system went haywire and would not let her out. I had to manually get a key to unlock the door. The electrical system is now not functioning correctly. A relative just had the same thing happen, couldn't get out of her car, the car started on fire and she couldn't get out and was burned alive. I would like the manufacture to repurchase this car as soon as possible. It is not safe and I am afraid someone is going to get killed in this car if it is not taken off the road. Please let me know if we can get this done without lawyers involved. Thank you. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I have been trying for 3 years to get the airbags replaced that have been recalled due to safety concerns with Buick Service East Side Madison WI at 5402 High Crossing Blvd for the last 3 years. They said I have to wait for a letter to come from the Manufacture, which has never come. I printed out a recall letter that said my exact vehicle has a safety issue with the airbags and are recalled. Buick Service said they have tried to order them and cannot get them in due to no ETA. This is not acceptable. I have been driving around for years with faulty airbags that I cannot find anyone to help me get them replaced. I am scared every day when I drive this car due to the safety issues with the airbags that no one has helped me with for 3 years. I continue to get the runaround. This is why I am calling and filing this today. My son gave me this car about 4 years ago.

For the past month, I had been unable to start the vehicle unless I would turn the key without fully starting the vehicle and having to shift to each gear until I would be able to start it. It would start in any gear, but mostly in neutral. Now, on September 25, 2024, I stopped at a shopping center and I was unable to turn the vehicle on at all and it is now stuck in that parking lot. I had not been able to report it because Hurricane Helene hit (September 26, 2024) and we just got power, but phone lines and internet are not stable and cut off in the middle of calls and we have issues uploading documents. I called GM about the issue yesterday and they said because my VIN is not on the recall list that I have to pay for my car to be towed ($89 hook up fee plus $8 per mile) and I have to pay for any repairs. The airbag needs to be replaced as well because it has not been replaced due to the dealership saying they had not received the part and the appointment would be cancelled, so I quit making an appointment to have the driver's side air bag replaced.
