2023 BUICK ENCLAVE
Filed Oct 21, 2026
The transmission hesitates and momentarily loses propulsion when accelerating out a low speed right hand turn, creating a risk of a rear - end collision.

There is a service bulletin out for this issue on my vehicle and the first…

I am the original owner of this Buick Enclave Avenir.
