2020 Buick Enclave - POWER TRAIN Failure Complaint (#b0c325)

2020 Buick Enclave

  • Date of Incident: Apr-20, 2024
  • Date complaint filed: Apr-21, 2024
  • Failed components: POWER TRAIN

After waiting at stop light with foot on the brake (auto stop not engaged) the light turned green. After releasing brake pedal and the car rolling approx 1 foot , then starting to accelerate, within 1-1/2 seconds the transmission went into park abruptly. The shift lever displayed “park” and “parking brake” on the dic illuminated. This almost caused a rear end accident as it was so abrupt. If it would have happened at over 5 mph the airbags could have gone off causing occupant(s) injury. The resolve was to apply the brake and shift into drive with no issue after that. Will contact dealer tomorrow.
