THE PROBLEM IS WATER LEAKING FROM THE BASE COVER ON PASSAGES SIDE INSIDE THE CABIN OF THE CAR. THE BASE COVER IS JUST ABOVE THE FEET UNDER THE GLOVE COMPARTMENT; IT FILLS WITH WATER AND LEAK INSIDE THE CAR WETTING THE CARPET; INSIDE THE COVER, SEATS AN ELECTRICAL "BLOWER MOTOR OR FAN MOTOR. " AS I SEARCHED THE INTERNET I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ON GOING PROBLEM ON BUICK ENCLAVE SINCE 2007. I HAVE 2010 MODEL WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS COMMON KNOWLEDGE THAT WATER AND ELECTRICITY CAN IGNITE A FIRE OR TOTALLY SHORT CIRCUIT THE CAR. WHAT TROUBLES ME IS THAT THE MANUFACTURE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF SAID PROBLEM. SINCE 2007 AND FAILED TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM OR RECALL THE CAR. I HAVE ABOUT 19,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND WHEN I DRIVE IT WATER COME OUT FROM THIS COVER. IN AN ATTEMPT TO MEDITATE THE DAMAGE I REMOVED THE BASE AND SAW IT WAS FULL OF WATER AND HAVE PICTURES OF THE WATER LEAKING DOWN. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS BEFORE IT CAUSES AND ACCIDENT WE SPEAK ABOUT " TRANSPARENT" YET KNOW DEFEATS IN CARS ARE NOT DISCLOSED AT THE POINT OF SALE. THE LAW SHOULD MANDATED THAT ORAL DISCLOSURE OF ALL KNOWN DEFEATS BE DISCLOSED THIS MANUFACTURER DEFECT MUST BE CORRECTED. *TR
