Note:mileage is 1240 miles, just purchased three months ago with 54 miles on it and shipped to germany (dod civilian). While in europe, i am using the vehicles' "metric" setting (kph versus mph), which switches the speedometer to read kph and auto tunes the engine to the appropriate levels to match kph. I have been driving this vehicle for the last three weeks until the issue happened last night around 1830 hours cet.issue:while accelerating and tuning left from a stop (stop light with the city), the engine suddenly loss power then jerked into a lower gear, but somehow got stuck in 3rd gear restricting max speed of about 25-30 mph running at 5000 rpms. After several attempts to stop, start, and proceed, i found the vehicle seem to be slipping when shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear, but would not go beyond 3rd gear causing the engine to strain and rev at an unsafe levels. Tried several times to shift to "l" to manually engage the engine, but it kept changing back to "d" automatic.also noted that when the vehicle reaches the next programmed gear shift (e.g. 2nd gear to 3rd gear) it then jerks, stalls for about 2-3 seconds, then suddenly engages 3rd gear running at extremely high rpms and never shifts beyond that. Now check engine light is on.vehicle has never been in an accident, damaged, or wrecked.
I have had this new car just over for 1 year, im prior service military and was able to purchase this 2019 buick enclave for me on father's daylast year because pur other car broke down on a family road trip. So i garage my vehicles i noticed a oil leak on the garage i didn't want to think it was from this car so i watched it seemed to be intermediate at times but recently got worse so i took it in told them and they said it was a bad oil filter but the oil filter is opposite side of the car from where this leak is dripping on my driver's side.so i just went under there to see what i could find i too was a mechanic in the army and outside as a civilian after so i looked took me 5 seconds to locate it that is the picture of the leak. Then i noticed rust cracks on my frame so i looked more and discovered the rust cracks are on the bottom and topside of the frame. So i did some research and saw coming up in dec a recall is going to happen for cracked frames on the buick enclave 2020 but starting from build date's 3 months after mine was built but mine shows all the systems of that recall but isn't included. Also i had a issue with the starter stop my family and i were stopped at a red light on a city street with a car infront of us when the engine stopped normally then when it turned back on my rpm kept going up like your pushing the excellorator peddle but i wasn't because my foot was on the brake when i look down i eased up a bit on the brake and it shot forward on me i didn't hit the car infront of me because i depressed harder on the brake to hold it. Thats when i started looking and saw this recall soon to come out.

The seal around the timing chain was leaking right from the first day we bought the car. The camshaft was also pitted and replaced. It was fixed by the dealer under warranty. This also happened on our 2009 buick enclave. It leaked a large amount of oil that could have caused major engine damage.
Traveling at highway speeds car suddenly shifted itself into neutral and could not be engage back to any drive gears. Brakes were inoperable and accelerator was in operable.finally came to a stop by coasting to the shoulder and waiting for speed to drop far enough to get vehicle to go into park.
When vehicle reengaging from auto start/stop during stops in traffic and/or lights/signs, slamming into gear after removing foot from brake, prior to pushing gas pedal. Happens in highway travel (if having to come to a stop) and city travel. Dealership replaced auxiliary fluid accumulator and added fluid to transmission. Owner now realizes fluid spots in driveway are where vehicle must have been leaking some fluid.

Driver side 2nd row passenger's seat belt is not bolted to the frame. While driving this rental car on vacation, the paneling fell off revealing that the seat belt spool was hanging loose and not mounted to the frame. Based on what i can see from the threads, it appears never to have been connected (as opposed to being snapped off).this is a rental, but i don't trust the agency to report this appropriately so doing so myself. How this has gone unnoticed for 12k miles is beyond me.
Front brakes locking up at any speed. Replaced the master cylinder . 48 hours later it happened again

Rear door with the automatic open/close feature. While accessing the rear portion of the vehicle (looking in boxes, accessing under floor storage compartment,etc) i have experienced on several occasions where the door starts to close. I was able to turn around, push the door upwards and the door stopped closing and reversed to the open area. This happened to our buick enclave that we own in canada. The dealer was able to find on buick's database where this was documented and the suggested solution was to "turn this feature off using the "control knob located in the driver's door". My wife and i are 80 and this feature was one of the reasons that we purchased this model new in may 2020. So solution that buick has offered is not the greatest. However, my wife is disabled and if the rear door had started to close on her, i do not think that she could have stopped the door from coming down. I will be notifying the canadian highway vehicle association of this problem. But seems to me that buick has a problem with the design of this system and is not addressing it. Are you aware of this problem with buick enclaves 2018 -2021 in the usa? [xxx]information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
