What are the vibration conditions of the Enclave GX after one year of use?
2 Answers
Enclave GX after one year of use, the vibration conditions are as follows: Vibration can be felt when waiting at a red light, using the air conditioning, or holding the brake in D gear. The vibration is slight at idle, with a faint sensation in the back. When the air conditioning is on and the brake is held in D gear, the vibration is slightly more noticeable. However, when the car is stopped in N gear, the vibration is not as obvious as in D gear. Introduction to the Enclave GX engine: The Enclave GX is equipped with a 1.3T three-cylinder turbocharged engine across all models. The engine has a maximum output power of 121 kW and a peak torque of 240 Nm, providing sufficient power for household use. However, the engine vibration is relatively severe. Nevertheless, the product quality is guaranteed, and the fuel consumption is relatively economical. The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology gives a combined fuel consumption of 5.9 to 6.6 L per 100 km, while the actual measured average fuel consumption is 6.40 to 8.57 L per 100 km. Introduction to the Enclave GX's appearance: In terms of appearance, the Enclave GX has fully optimized body proportions, with a longer overall body, wider width, and lower center of gravity. The body lines are simple and powerful, combining elegance and agility. It features a new family-style wing-shaped chrome-plated grille, with electroplated trim extending from the logo to the bottom of the headlights on both sides, broadening the horizontal visual effect. The full LED automatic sensing headlights use the new Evonik light curtain technology to create a uniform light curtain effect. High-end models are equipped with 18-inch five-spoke aluminum alloy dual-tone wheels.
I've been driving the Enclave GX for a year now, and recently I've noticed significant shaking. The engine wobbles a bit when starting up, especially when idling at red lights in congested city traffic—the steering wheel also vibrates slightly. Talking to friends, I realized it might be due to carbon buildup. Taking it to the repair shop confirmed it: there was too much carbon buildup in the engine. The technician said this model tends to accumulate carbon over time, affecting power output. Another time on the highway, when I accelerated to 80 km/h, the whole car started shaking—turns out the tire balance was off, causing instability. I mostly drive short distances in the city, so the engine probably never gets fully warmed up. Overall, the shaking is annoying, but catching and fixing it early saves a lot of hassle.
