#134 of 201 Is AC work covered on GM certified vehicles?? by kidfree

Jul 17, 2012 (5:37 pm)

Im taking my GM certified 2008 Enclave which only has 22K miles to the GM Dealer tomorrow. Like everyone else on this thread my AC has stopped working. And I've had this vehicle for less than 90 days. But my bigger gripe came when we called to schedule the appt. The dealership rep said it might not be covered under the "BUMPER TO BUMPER" WARRANTY. How can this be? Can a GM rep or someone with relevant knowledge confirm this for me either way?

Thank you for your prompt response. This blog was very helpful. You were correct there are no recalls on AC. I have contacted GM and they have assigned a case number and arranged through a conference call with Buick dealer to have my car diagnosed tomorrow. I am waiting to hear from dealer tomorrow on the outcome. They were very helpful so will let you know the outcome.

My 2009 was just the opposite order. The solenoid for the AC went 6 months ago. The power steering pump just went. After the power steering repair I have a loud noise under the hood at every bump.

I'm having the same issues - ALL of them - on my 2008 Enclave with approx 31k miles.
 
AC: I had the same AC blower issue in 2011 - it was fixed by the dealer. Believed to be a potential electrical issue
Fuel Pump: The car stopped working yesterday where it would stall and not start back up. Gas, oil, battery are all good. It's in the shop now and believed to be fuel pump
Power Steering: The last time I had the oil changed, the tech said that the power steering was making a weird noise although the fluid was good
Brakes: I noticed that there's some rubbing on my brakes
 
None of this should be happening on a vehicle with 31k miles!
Is the fuel pump covered by the warranty?

Hello orangekeeper,
I see that your initial post here was from a few days ago - any updates on your progress at your shop (GM dealer or independent?) since then?

Hi I am very upset and frustrated with GM it seems that they do not care about their products I see alot of people are having problems with the AC and GM does not take responsibility and recalls it my AC is blowing hot air on the passenger car I regret buying the Buick if I had know about the issues I would never have bought it I totally expected a great car and I am very disappointed with it. Gm does not want to cover the cost. I am very disappointed

#143 of 201 Just Purchased Used Car, ac blower out and grease on ceiling from sunroof by beauchamp_jen

Aug 28, 2012 (4:34 pm)

First off, I was so excited to have been able to purchase a 2008 used Buick Enclave about 6 weeks ago for our one car family. I felt like it was a perfect fit for my family.
 
Unfortunately last weekend the blower went out on our air conditioner. After reading on-line that it was a known problem, my husband took the blower out and we did, in fact, have rings of dried water marks in the bowl like cover). There was also rust on the blower itself so is obvious we have water damage.
 
We have all of the service records from the previous owner and have found out the blower has already been replaced and the front and back sunroofs have each been repaired once.
 
Now today, I noticed wet looking marks on the ceiling above the passenger seat. After touching, it seems to be some sort of grease.
 
I'm not sure what's going on with this. I'm frustrated to say the least considering the short amount of time we've owned the vehicle and considering we only have one car. I certainly hope Buick will step up and correct these issues considering they were issues before we even owned the car. I'm afraid what other problems we will face from these issues too (electrical, mold, etc.).
