I have a 2015 Enclave with 75K miles and it has had more than its share of front end problems, strut replacement, brake master cylinder, motor mounts, AC problems, dash lights not coming on for 10 sec to 5 minutes, and now when I initially start the engine when cold, it starts very easily but the starter sounds like it is staying engaged for a few seconds after the engine starts. This occurs after the car has been sitting for a day or 2 and only at the first startup. It does this once when started and not any more until it has sat for another day or so. I have an extended warranty but the Buick dealership says they can not duplicate the problem. If they don't catch it on initial startup, it will not occur until the next day at cold startup. I have had it there 3 times and it is getting very annoying - especially since the warranty will expire in 5 months. Can someone please HELP!!!

I'd pull it and look at the gear.

I'd take it to them, park it there, and show up the next morning to be there when they start it.

Thanks - I'll probably have to do that.

That is my suspicion - bad bendix sticking.

Thanks, Ron

Maybe.

Either way, weird to have that happen on something so new.

I agree. The vehicle is nice but poor quality!! I am not pleased with the quality of this vehicle.

If I get another vehicle, it will be a Toyota SUV.

I'm curious how the test goes with the dealership.

The dealership is not close to my home. They provide a loaner but I may have to make arrangements for them to wait until the next day since I have to wait a day or 2 before it will duplicate the problem. You only have one chance to see the problem - at initial start up after the vehicle has not been ran and then cooled off for a day or 2 and engine is cold.
