2013 Buick ENCLAVE Electrical System Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1103596
Internal NHTSA #	10628529
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	BUICK
Model	ENCLAVE
Model Year	2013
File date	27/07/14
Component	ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	While car is in motion (around 35-40 mph) the stabilitrak, abs, a/c, blind-spot monitor shuts off; speedometer, gas gauge, battery gauge on dashboard all go down to zero (even when car is moving); engine is still running, but vehicle does not respond when accelerator is applied. If engine is turned off and allowed to rest a minute or two and then restart is tried, it either does not start at all or it will start, but will not move over 20 mph (just enough to get off the road.) if allowed to rest @10 minutes, engine will start again, dashboard is functional, but engine service light remains on. Acceleration seems "sluggish" when driving after this event, but can get up to @50mph. However, the first time this happen and the car got up to 50mph, the electrical system failed again (as described above) but i could "coast" home, thankfully. The weather is in 80s so a/c is on every time this happens (so far). This seems to only happen on short trips (5 to 20 mile trips such as for shopping, errands, etc.). It has not happened (yet) on longer trips. The first time this happened, the gm service rep said "confirmed ses light on wire harness out of firewall making contact on a/c lines. Has rub-thru on wire. Reposition wire and reseal." after 1 month (1,243 miles), the same exact incident happened again. Gm service rep this (second) time said there are a lot of "communication codes" that indicate communication failures. Gm service rep is still investigating issue. There is a service bulletin already for this problem (or one like it): tsb ref# pi-1202, nhtsa ref# 10055394.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
What is Defect?
Non-conformance of a car component with the specified requirements, or non-fulfillment of user expectations, including the safety aspects.
