So many times I've had this repaired. I got the recall done! They know about the leaks, but last time they charged me 350. just to fix my leak! My car was 12 weeks and 2000 miles out of warranty. Now it's leaking again! I need to learn how to fix this myself!!!!

@tiffnagel1 It's too complicated for the average mechanic plus you are dealing with air bags - not a do it yourself job I'm sorry to say. Best option is to sell the car - plenty of people want them - God knows why. Sorry I couldn't be mre help.

Oh my.... This was the car hubby and I finally agreed on. I'm glad I came across this. Thanks for the advise, I will go check out that complaints section right now. Also one more Q? Is this just a problem with sunroof models?

[carquestions]

@Stefnilove11 Yes - sunroof models only - I haven't heard of any non sunroof leak complaints

I've been looking at 2010 and newer Enclaves to buy. Do you know if this is still a recurring problem in the newer models? Please help, many thanks.

@Stefnilove11 They claim to have it fixed but be warned - many many times GM has said this and been caught with its pants down. This vehicle has other numerous problems as well - check the "complaints" section at NHTSA/safercar for more of an idea of what you can expect - check 09 to 11

Thnk god i have no sunroofs on my enclave - and no gps - it has the crappiest gps ive seen. So far i have mine update the tranny software updated - power steering fluid replaced with different grade- fixed my seatbelt issue (recall) and my cd player stops accepting cds. Thnk god its under warranty.

I have an 05 Buick Rendezvous and I have the exact same problem. Water is coming in by my feet while it is raining. It soaks the floorboards and is disgusting. I live in GA, so imagine the smell after the rain on a hot summer's day! Hopefully, I will be getting rid of it in soon. This has been a problem with GM products for far too long! Will not buy another. Thanks for the video.
