Want to more clearly know what the difference in reliability will be if you buy a Buick Enclave rather than another vehicle? TrueDelta will be providing this information in the form of "times in the shop" and, later, "lemon-odds" stats in addition to problem rates.
The latest Vehicle Reliability Survey results include Buick Enclave reliability information:
| Successful Repair Trips per Year (per 100 vehicles) | Data Characteristics | ||||||
| Year | Make | Model |
Trips/Year | Veh | Mon | Mon/Veh | Odo |
| 2007 | GMC / Saturn | Acadia / Outlook | 114 | 865 | 7.6 | 9600 | |
| 2008 | GMC / Saturn / Buick | Acadia / Outlook / Enclave | 177 | 761 | 4.3 | 4900 | |
For all Vehicle Reliability Survey results and a table key, click here. New results quarterly.
To provide comprehensive results, TrueDelta needs reliability data on all cars--not just the Buick Enclave--from people like you. To encourage participation, those who help provide the data will receive free access to the site's reliability information. Find out the details.
Buick Enclave Repair Histories
To supplement our Vehicle Reliability Survey, TrueDelta collects Buick Enclave repair histories, a list of all the repairs that have been performed on a vehicle. With these, no minimum sample is required and owners can report repairs that occurred before joining.
Individual responses to both tbe Vehicle Reliability Survey and the Vehicle Repair History Survey are posted here:

Buick Enclave Extended Warranty
Concerned about the Buick Enclave's reliability? Considering an extended warranty? Warranty Direct is a 26-year-old company with nearly 2 million contracts sold and over $500 million in paid claims.
Yes, this works out to about $250 per contract. Like insurance, extended warranties are best bought to limit downside risk, and from a company that is almost certain to remain in business. While for most people extended warranties will not pay off, for some they will pay for themselves many times over.
Be aware that, like many extended warranty providers, Warranty Direct does not pay for diagnostic charges and will only pay up to the "usual and customary" amount of labor, about $85/hour.
If you are unsure about the Buick Enclave's reliability, or simply want the peace of mind afforded by an extended warranty, you can click here to purchase one from Warranty Direct.

Buick Enclave Fuel Economy
Everyone knows that government estimates often aren't indicative of the Buick Enclave's real-world fuel economy.
In response, TrueDelta began collecting fuel economy data from owners of the Buick Enclave, with the intent of providing real-world fuel economy estimates customized to how and where you drive.

Buick Enclave Tire Reviews
The Tire Rack offers the Internet's most extensive collection of Buick Enclave tire reviews, tire survey results, and tire tests. To see which tires are available for the Buick Enclave--or for your car--and go from there to Tire Rack's comprehensive information, use the tool in the sidebar.
The Tire Rack can be especially useful as a source of winter tires, which I have strongly recommended ever since buying a set for my car. If you're unhappy with your car's handling and braking on snow and ice, you probably just need proper winter tires, not a new car.
