Description of the problem	While driving, i noticed my engine started sputtering and had problems accelerating. Soon afterwards, the "malfunction indicator light" (aka check engine light) came on and stayed on. I contacted the dealer and took it in for repair. It was diagnosed as "pistons misfiring". I had pistons/cylinders replaced at a cost of several hundred dollars. A couple of months later, the same thing happened and i had other pistons/cylinders replaced. This has happened about a half dozen times between march 2014 and today (march 2015). I have paid thousands of dollars for this same problem and i do not understand why a recall has not been issued. The dealer told me that there are several pistons/cylinders that can trigger this problem. Just by doing a simple search online, i see that many others have experienced this problem with the buick enclave. As of today, 31 march 2015, my engine began sputtering and the check engine light came on again. I have lost faith in buick behind this and i do not believe i will purchase another buick.
