Description of the problem | I own a 2011 buick enclave. The vehicle rolls backwards in drive on an incline when i take my foot of the accelerator and roles forward when on a decline when in reverse. The vehicle will continue to roll until i apply the brakes. I actually have to work the brake and accelerator just to control the vehicle. Especially difficult to handle when trying to park it in hilly situations. The hill does not have to be steep at all for this to happen. But, the steeper the hill the more dangerous this rolling can be. I almost rolled into a fence while trying to back out of a parking space on an decline. I've had numerous close calls when parking or someone behind me is close to my rear bumper on an incline. I taken the vehicle to the dealer ship and they say that just the way the vehicle. No recall on this. Gm does not recognize the rolling issue as a hazard . Many complaints on the internet though. I just think this is a huge safety issue that gm is ignoring. This has been happening since i bought the vehicle new on 2011. .... Updated 11/02/15*bf |
