HEARD A RATTLE OR FLUTTERING SOUND COMING FROM FRONT AREA OF ENCLAVE, TOOK TO DEALER ON 12/21/2017 AND WAS INFORMED AFTER HAVING A TEST DRIVE AND INSPECTION ,SOUND WAS AN A/C HOSE CONTACTING ANOTHER HOSE , DEALER IN BUFORD ,GA STATED ISSUE WAS REPAIRED. WHILE TRAVELING NORTH 12/26/17 ON INTERSTATE 85 AT APPROX. 65 MPH AND HEARD THE SAME SOUND AGAIN ONLY NOT AS LOUD CONTINUED ON TO NASHVILLE TN , WHILE TRAVELING ON NORTH ON 12/27/17 HEARD THE SOUND AGAIN ON KEPT GETTING LOUDER ,THIS TIME WAS ABLE TO SEE A SMALL BLACK OBJECT FLAPPING IN THE FRONT OF THE SUV. WAS ABLE TO PULL OFF AND UPON LOOKING AT FRONT OF MY SUV SPOTTED THAT THE BUG GUARD WAS LOOSE AND AN APPROX. 3 INCH PIECE WAS MISSING FROM BUG GUARD. VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE GUARD WAS APPLIED WITH JUST ADHESIVE WHEN PURCHASED FROM THE DEALER. NOW FRONT OF VEHICLE HAS PAINT AND METAL DAMAGE FROM THIS CHEAP GM BUG GUARD!!! IN MY OPINION THIS IS A CHEAP PRODUCT THAT GM COMPANY IS OFFERING TO CUSTOMERS WHO PURCHASE THEIR VEHICLES!!

OUR VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPACE. ENGINE WAS ON, ALL CONTROLS NORMAL, NO WARNING LIGHTS, ETC. AS WE BACKED OUT OF OUR PARKING SPACE ALL OF A SUDDEN THE GAS AND BRAKE PEDALS LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT BE MOVED. THE CAR SLOWLY ROLLED BACKYARDS DUE TO SLIGHT INLCINE. I QUICKLY SHIFTED BACK TO PARK, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND WAITED A MINUTE BEFORE RESTARTING. ALL SEEMED FINE. 2.5 WEEKS LATER, THE SAME EXACT THING HAPPENED AGAIN. MY WHOLE FAMILY WAS IN THE VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME AND AFTER ONLY 4 DAYS OF OWNERSHIP AS A BRAND NEW CAR. THE SECOND TIME WAS MY WIFE AND KIDS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE GORCERY STORE PARKING LOT. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAD 1000 MILES ON IT BEFORE BEING SENT BACK TO THE DEALER TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED. WE TRADED THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND TOOK A HEAVY LOSS AS THIS WAS THE ONLY SOLUTION OFFERED TO US. GM REFUSED TO BUY THE VEHICLE BACK FROM THE DEALER BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE GOTTEN NOWHERE WITH GM.

THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR POWER WINDOW OPERATES DIFFERENTLY THAT OTHER CARS. IT IS PRACTICALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOWER IT WITHOUT BEING DISTRACTED FROM DRIVING. GM SAYS THE OPERATION IS NORMAL, YET OTHER GM MAKES AND OTHER MANUFACTURERS DO NOT OPERATE LIKE THIS VEHICLE. IF YOU WANT IT DOWN JUST AN INCH, YOU STRUGGLE TO KEEP THE WINDOW AT THE LEVEL YOU DESIRE. IT WILL DISTRACT ENOUGH TO CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF YOU CONTINUE TO ATTEMPT TO SET THE WINDOW LEVEL. THIS PROBLEM HAS EXISTED SINCE I TOOK DELIVERY OF THE VEHICLE.
