You are in the Buick Enclave Forum. Your Hosts are steve_ & tidester
When I went out to start My Enclave this morning Batt was completely Dead....Nothing . I also was unable to remove the Key. Called Buick and they said they will send someone out to tow the car in , tomorrow morning. The Buick Person told me that the car needs to be driven every few days to keep the battery charged up. We had NOT driven the car for at lest 6 days...Is there any truth to this?

Great....Now when I go on a trip or as recently I went into the hospital....I have to hire someone to come in and feed the bird and excercise the Dog. Now I have to find someone to come in and excercise my Buick. I can't beleve that the Buick has so much stuff running in there that the battery won't stay up any longer than a week.

I got my new Enclave 2 weeks ago-CXL AWD with ent. pkg 4 and all other goodies. I love it! I traded in a BMW X5 and I think it's the best thing I ever did. I have a little over 1000 miles on it so far and have run into several minor annoyances and wonder if anyone else has these items. I'm old so maybe I haven't learned all there is to know about the car yet. Is there a way to set the radio on/off so it doesn't always come on when you start the car? Mine always comes on and the only way I can turn it off (without turning off the Navigation Screen) is to hit the right hand button on the steering wheel. The Nav system works great when I set a destination with the buttons. However, the manual gives all sorts of commands for the audio and the nav that can be given with voice commands. I can't get any of the voice commands to work-I get a voice back that says the command isn't available or that it didn't hear anything I said. I do use the button that you hold for 2 seconds until you get a beep (very soft) and then say the command. Any help will be appreciated. I read some of the messages on this forum about dead batteries after a week or sometimes less. I noticed on my Enclave that the power ports are always on-even with the ignition off and the key removed. My previous cars had the power ports go off when you took the key out. I keep my cell phone charger plugged in and am wondering if it takes enough power to run down the battery? I wouldn't think that it would but--who knows?? Thanks to you all.
