MY CAR HAS HAD TO BE TOWED TWICE DUE TO FAILURE TO START. IT WILL CRANK THEN THE ENGINE LIGHT WILL COME ON AND WILL NOT CRANK ANYMORE. HAS BEEN AT SHOP TWO TIMES EACH TIME A WEEK WITH NO ANSWER TO WHY. *TR
TWICE IN THE LAST 30 DAYS OUR ENCLAVE WAS SHOWING LOW ON GAS (USUALLY NOT AN ISSUE) BUT BOTH TIMES THE CAR SPUTTERED TO A STOP. ONCE IT QUIT I LOST ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKING. EVEN AFTER I PUT GAS IN THE CAR, THE KEY WOULD NOT MOVE SO I WAS UNABLE TO START THE CAR WITHOUT A JUMP. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY WERE UNABLE TO RECREATE THE ISSUE ALTHOUGH THEY WERE UNABLE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE KEY WOULD LOCK UP IN THE IGNITION. ACCORDING TO BUICK EVERYTHING CHECKED OUT FINE. BASED ON WHAT WE ARE HEARING ON THE NEWS, THIS ISSUE SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO THE COBALT ISSUE. THANK YOU. *TR
