Open the full vehicle complaint log (all categories)2010 BUICK ENCLAVE. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE BRAKE SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL ISSUES. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED SHORTLY AFTER HE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, HE DISCOVERED THE BRAKE LINING NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, THE REAR LIFT GATE OPENED ON ITS OWN. ALSO, THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS INOPERATIVE. *JB
REAR BRAKES OVER HEATED. AN INSPECTION REVEALED THAT THE BRAKE PADS WERE FROZEN DUE TO RUST AND WORN AT AN ANGLE AND NOT EVEN CAUSING METAL TO METAL CONTACT. REAR PADS AND ROTORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AT A COST OF $ 347.62. IF THIS HAD BEEN CAUGHT DURING NORMAL INSPECTION INTERVALS I DON'T BELIEVE THE ROTORS WOULD HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED.PERHAPS INSPECTION AND CLEANING OF BRAKE PADS SHOULD BE CHECKED AT CERTAIN INTERVALS IN THE NORTHERN AREAS WHERE SNOW AND ICE ARE A PROBLEM. NOTE THIS HAPPENED UPON RETURN HOME FROM LAST SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE. I HAD TO MAKE A NEW APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY BRAKES CHECKED, A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 30 MILES. *TR
I HAVE NOTICED THAT MY BRAKE LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON UNLESS THE KEY IS IN THE IGNITION AND TOWARD THE RUN POSITION. I WENT TO MY DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT IS HOW THEY ARE MADE NOW.

THE SERVICE WRITER DID TAKE MY TO ANOTHER ENCLAVE AND IT IS JUST LIKE MINE--THE BRAKE LIGHT DOES NOT GO ON IF THE KEY IN NOT IN THE RUN POSITION. *TR
