12/12/2018 55,000 mi Crash ODI #11160873.0

Tuesday, 7/18/2017. I was coming over a small decline on local road in east brunswick, nj. I applied the brakes and came upon the traffics light and traffics ahead and the vehicle shot foreword. Applying the breaks had no effect. In fact the car appeared to accelerate. I did not have enough time to avoid hitting the vehicle in front of me which caused that vechile to hit another. My vehicle accelerated vs braking when applying the brakes. Applying the brake had no or little effect in slowing the vehicle. Is there, or has there been, reports of similar problems with acceleration problems with the Buick enclave, 2015 model ?.

The lane departure warning does not does not activate until the vehicle is 12" or so into the on-coming traffic lane. This delay could be to late to warn the driver of an impending collision. This happens only when the left side (driver's side) crosses into the other lane. The passenger side works perfectly. This happens on all streets, highways, express ways at 35mph or higher. Gm has no way to re-calibrate the system sensitivity.
