The contact owns a 2022 Buick Envision. The contact stated that the vehicle was parked in the garage while he was working in the yard with the vehicle fob in his pocket. The contact stated as he walked into the garage, he noticed that the vehicle was running on its own. There was no warning light illuminated. The contact sat in the driver's seat, put his seatbelt on, depressed the brake pedal, pushed the turn off button and the vehicle turned off. The contact stated that the fob alone could not start the vehicle as the vehicle was designed to only start when he got in the driver seat, locked the driver's door, put his seatbelt on, and pushed the start button while in possession of the fob. The contact also attempted to start the vehicle with the fob alone several times to determine whether
Purchased new in March 2023 -Repair Safety Restraint System failed (alert signal) failed late June 2023. Inspected at the Dealer/mechanic on July 11 2023, and it was determined the Safety Restraint System panel was defective. Part ordered late June early July 2023 (estimate). Part was backordered and not available for installation August 31 2023. Service department failed to notify me that the part was in. I had to call them. Appointment was set for Replacement part to be installed on September 6 2023. In the meantime a new alert appeared (Check engine light). I notified the service department of the new issue (check engine ) and the need for them to inspect that. The vehicle was due for an oil change and rotation as well. Service department determined that the engine failure resu
Service safety restraint message displays. Sunroof, all parts will not function when attempted. Nothing happens. Airbag light indicates "off" Safety is critical in a vehicle and must be reliable and function properly. Vehicle servicer has confirmed the safety restraint issue, but sun roof issue is pending servicers confirmation.
My instrument panel cluster went black while the vehicle remained operational. The speedometer, warning lights, warning chimes, PRNDL/gear display, and dashboard are all non-functional. We checked fuses and performed a battery reset. The issue remains unresolved. This creates a significant safety concern, as I have no access to vehicle speed, warning lights, a gear indicator, or safety alerts while driving. I am requesting that this issue be formally documented and investigated as a potential safety defect involving the instrument cluster/electrical system.

Car applied emergency braking when it should not have (and could have caused an accident)! Details: Driving approx 20 mph in traffic on highway in Houston. Approx 3-4 car lengths behind vehicle in front of me. There were cars to the left and right of us, .. they were staying within their lanes. For no apparent reason, the automatic braking system applied the brakes. The four of us in the car were jerked forward. Luckily the driver behind us was not tail-gating, or we would have been rear-ended. Note: This was a National rental car I had in Houston this past weekend. Nonetheless, I want to report this as this apparent software and/or sensor bug seems like a major safety risk to me. I tried to find a way to report this to Buick too, but they don't make it easy to find a wa
Park Assist was not installed during production with retrofit to be done. Vehicle was manufactured in June 2022. Still no retrofit. Safety issue!!
Telematics module drained my battery mid drive. Car shut off on highway. Module malfunctioned and caused safety features to malfunction. After communication with Dealership, OnStar, ultimately GM refuses to issue a recall on the module. This is a NATIONWIDE issue with GM Telematics Module. Warranty will not cover the module on any of these vehicles. Someone is going to sustain serious bodily injury or maybe even die eventually if this issue isn’t resolved. Dealerships are telling drivers it is ok to drive like this. My car shut off on me twice. I had to buy two new batteries because the module continues to suck the life out of them. Serious safety issue not only to self but unsuspecting drivers because there is NO WARNING! Please help the millions of people nationwide who are having issues
The collision warning system allows you to choose whether you want beeps or just seat vibration. I always chose beeps. But the vehicle randomly switches out of this and goes to seat vibration without me doing anything. This has happened numerous times, and the first time contributed to me, backing into another vehicle. I asked, my service department to check it and of course nothing showed up because it happens randomly. Just yesterday as I was pulling into my garage I was waiting for it to beep and nothing. So I put it in park and checked the vehicle settings, and once again, it was not on beeps, although I had never taken it off. I’m disgusted with the safety feature that is not working.
I started the car. Backed out of my driveway. Put into drive. The car stalled I shifted to park tried to restart. It wouldn’t. At that point I tried to put car into neutral I couldn’t. There is no way to shift this car into neutral. ( I checked with service department at gmdealer). This alone is dangerous the car cannot be moved. Anyway the car was towed to a dealer who fixed it. It was th fuel pump power module. The dealer and tow truck driver both told me this happens at least 5 times a week. There is no recall on this. My biggest concern is I could be on any road going high speeds and this part can fail. This is a death trap. There was no warning lights or messages to be found. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE.

Purchased 2022 Buick Envision on October 15, 2022, currently has estimated 2400 miles. One month after purchase at 2200 miles, November 16th, a squeaking noise started coming from engine when you turn the vehicle off. Additionally, engine makes a whistling sound when accelerating/ changing gears. Took vehicle into service station, showed service tech the recorded incidents on video, it was indicated it was the turbo hose causing the engine noise. Buick Morrow, GA service station kept vehicle for two weeks - indicating time needed to order hose/replace the turbo hose. Picked vehicle back up on Monday, December 5, 2022, the squeaking sound returned - recorded incidents. Vehicle engine continue to whistle when accelerating. I am scheduled to return my vehicle back to the Buick Morrow, GA ser
My vehicle still has a delay or hesitation with the shifting of gears while driving, causing a loss of power. At random times the vehicle has lost power while driving. Additionally, when the vehicle is turned off, there is a loud noise (knocking) coming from the front of the vehicle. Also, while driving there has been a burning smell. The vehicle is again scheduled for repair of the persistent issues that GM-certified specialists say the issues could not be duplicated. Recently the infotainment center blacked out after being the software updated. The screen produced issues with a variation of colors which disabled the use of the infotainment for several hours with the screen frozen. This is my second report of the same concerns with the same vehicle reported on 2/22/2022 as this vehicle
On 10/12/22 I was stopped at a red light. I was the first person in line at the red light, right at the entrance to the NYS Thruway. When the light turned green, my car locked up and I was unable to proceed. People were honking at me but the car would not go out of park. Some road construction workers ran over to the car to see if they could push it out of traffic. I kept trying to turn it off and restart it. Finally, after many attempts it finally went into drive. The light was now red again, but the construction workers, held up oncoming traffic and told me to just go. I was on the same road as the the dealership where I leased it, so I called them, told them what happened and that I was on my way there. I had also received a message from Buick at the same time, saying it detected an
This is my 2nd complaint regarding this car. On, 11/5/22, I was making a left hand turn on a highway, and heard a humming sound, that was elevating like the sound of an airplane. At first I thought it was coming from the music that was playing. I turned it down and the noise was still there. The screen then went black and had red writing on it. I have to have one set of gasses to drive and another pair to see up close. My GPS talks thru the screen and started talking, because I was turning, and I was unable to change glasses quickly enough to see what it said. I did report it to one of the owners of the dealership at the time, but received no answer back. when I went to have the oil changed recently and have the heated seat modules installed, I asked them to pull up the codes, to see if

The Buick died due to a fuel pump control module. This happened in a busy intersection. We were unable to force car into neutral so it could be pushed out of traffic . Ninth minutes later a tow truck showed up and had to drag car onto roll back. We have exhausted attempts with GM and its dealers and no answers. I also have a 2021 Gmc pickup with push button start and same problem. This is a major safety problem and a danger to driver and passenger .

On Wednesday, 06/07/2023, my 2022 Buick Envision Avenir suddenly displayed a large number of error codes on the dashboard. I was able to quickly identify that the only operation of the vehicle that was impacted seemed to be the brakes as I had to exert a much larger effort to slow the vehicle than normal and it obviously took a much longer time to stop. I had the vehicle towed to Scranton Motors in Vernon CT and they have basically told me that they "can't replicate the problem" and that I should, "bring it back if it happens more consistently." As this is the brakes we are talking about, "happening more consistently " might end up in me not being able to bring it back due to a potentially fatal crash that may result from driving this vehicle for over an hour twice per day on my way to wo
