If your 2018
Buick Enclave
shudders when accelerating, the following are a few possible causes:
  • Engine misfiring issues
  • Suspension problems
  • Transmission issues, especially if the shuddering you’re noticing happens when switching between gears
  • Torque converter problem
  • Loose lug nuts on your tires
  • Misaligned tires
If the shuddering you’re noticing feels moderate to severe, it’s a good idea to try and find the source of the problem as soon as possible. Some of the issues listed above could cause you to lose control of your car unexpectedly, which could be dangerous on the road.
Since there’s such a wide number of different problems that could cause shuddering when accelerating, it’s best to have a mechanic take a look and help you get to the bottom of the issue.
Hopefully this ends up being an easy fix for you! On a related note, if thinking about your current
