#16 of 18 Transmission Shift Points by nealschwartz Dec 30, 2008 (11:57 am)
I drive two speed limit stretches every morning, one being 35MPH and the other 30MPH. My 2009 Enclave CXL AWD seems to lock at 4th Gear during the 30MPH zone, and 5th gear at the 35MPH zone. Even though I'm not accelerating it will not go up a gear. The problem is, unless I put on cruise control I may drop to about 33 MPH and the transmission will shift down. It's like there's a shift point between 33 and 35 that you get that shifts either coasting, accelerating, or decelerating. Every time you move between those speeds it shifts. My wife thought I was jerking the accelerator, stepping on it then letting go. Any fix known? It's like downshifting to slow down, but it's automatically done.

#18 of 18 Buick Enclave Sudden Acceleration by stagefam Jan 12, 2009 (8:06 am)
My 2008 Buick Enclave suddenly lurched forward as I was pulling into a parking space. My foot was not on the accelerator or the brake. Has anyone had a similar problem or have any ideas??
