2011 Buick ENCLAVE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	2011 buick enclave "engine hot a/c off" and then "engine overheated idle engine" and then "engine power reduced" messages came on in quick succession (w/in less than 1. 5 miles) at 10:00 p. M. I was driving on suburban streets when this issue occurred. Took into dealer first thing the next morning and was told the water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. I mentioned april 2013 tsb #13079 related to leaking water pump shaft and was told that had expired. Water pump was subject of extended warranty coverage for 2008-2010 enclaves (#13091). Water pump is covered under powertrain warranty (100,000 miles or 5 years -- my vehicle has 79,738 miles and warranty expired 10//15). Called buick customer service to inquire about this issue. Was told dealership would have to determine any financial assistance. I believe the evidence suggests gm is aware there is a continuing issue with the water pumps on buick enclaves made after 2010 and there should be extended warranty coverage for the fix on these vehicles, as well.
