Took it in to the dealership several times last year and was told it was just a “glitch”, it’s fine. You can put your foot on the gas and it does absolutely nothing. These stall outs have happened on a highway crossover- causing me to roll backwards into traffic, stop lights, stop signs, etc. Have had ongoing issues of it feeling like it is slipping gears and multiple complete stall outs. Not issues to experience within a a couple yrs and 13k miles.īought a 2020 Buick Encore GX February of 2021. These are problems I would expect to have after maybe 8 or more years of driving and putting way more miles on it. They are instructing me to drive it this way until they get the parts in they stated it would be over a month to get the back ordered parts. Because I couldn’t find a rental car for a day, and I had to get a cab ride from the dealership to pick up the rental.) Now I have an issue with turning the car off, even though the car is in park an alert pops up on the dashboard instructing me to put the car in park. GM did eventually pay for my rental but they refused to pay for the taxi service to and from work. I had a transmission chip go bad last year they had my car for approximately a month, I had to find a rental myself (even though the dealership supposedly advertised rental cars, and shuttle service…I received neither of those. So far it had brake issues that they finally fixed after a year of driving it. Every year, auto manufacturers buy back, replace or pay cash settlements to thousands of ‘lemon’ owners like you. You may be able to get your lemon out of your life. Think you have a lemon? Sit back and let the experts work out your lemon case at no cost to you. Maybe it’s time owners search for a cheaper, more reliable brand instead of shelling out the big bucks to Buick for a piece of garbage. It’s just a big secret with the automaker and technicians, but without documentation, the company can make every customer feel like it’s only happening to them. I leased this pile of junk for 3 years, ugh.”Īgain, Buick has sealed communications, so there’s nothing talking about fuel system concerns. “2 fuel pumps in 4k miles, all kinds of noises, stay away. These two systems work hand-in-hand to irritate customers. In conjunction with the lemon engine is a malfunctioning fuel system. It appears that Buick doesn’t want to take responsibility for anything, or the defects might “stand out.” Problems with the Fuel System Until there is a recall, there’s very little chance that any communications will be issued. With engine issues, Buick is being surprisingly quiet. Maybe it’ll be a recall soon since it’s a 2020.” Dealership couldn’t tell me what was wrong with the car. Problems with the EngineĪs a Buick, one would expect that the Buick Encore GX would be equipped with a reliable and potent engine, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.Īnother Edmunds review says, “Engine and transmission had problems the first day I bought it with 20 miles. There’s no faster way to “stand out” than to rear-end a vehicle in your Buick Encore GX.
#BUICK ENCORE GX PROBLEMS DRIVERS#
When the electronic brake boost assist system goes down, drivers must apply additional pedal force to stop the vehicle, which increases the likelihood of an accident. NHTSA Campaign Number 20V588000 states that some vehicles are experiencing sensor connection contamination with the electronic brake boost system that causes communication interruption. It turns out that these brakes are beyond defective. They are on back order and I have had a rental going on 3 weeks.” One Edmunds review reads, “I had my car for 2 weeks and the brakes and power steering went.


However, Buick doesn’t seem to be concerned with it in their Buick Encore GX.
