2011 Buick ENCLAVE Power Train Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	855435
Internal NHTSA #	10398929
Manufacurer	GENERAL MOTORS CORP.
Brand	BUICK
Model	ENCLAVE
Model Year	2011
File date	29/10/10
Component	POWER TRAIN
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The vehicle rolls back on any incline. There is no hand brake in the center console, and according to dot safety this is not legal. Most crossovers and or suvs of this size roll back a few inches before the transmission pins engage and stop the roll back. I was told from gmc that the component was remove so that the transmission doesn't have to be serviced for 100000 miles. Gmc told us the only thing they are willing to do is install and after-market hand control and will pay a percentage toward the cost. To me this sounds like a band-aid fix to a bigger problem.
