2024 BUICK ENVISION

Filed Oct 13, 2026


The vehicle experiences a notched (hitching), sticky resistance at dead-center when driving over 55 MPH. It requires noticeable physical effort to break past the sticking point to both the left and right, causing jerky micro-corrections. Please check for any available reprograms or flashes for the Power Steering Control Module (PSCM), and check the electronic torque sensor calibration or replacement of steering rack and pinion. This is a safety issue.

2023 BUICK ENVISION

Filed Oct 5, 2026


The battery repeatedly discharged and became flat when the vehicle was left unused for several days. This has occurred 4 times to date December 14th 2023 November 12th 2024 December 17th 2025 March 23rd 2026 Each time Buick replaces the battery, they blame something else. They did send an engineer to review it on April 22nd, 2026, and he confirmed that everything was fine. I unfortunately have no confidence that is the case. There is no warning; the vehicle will be left for three days or…

2022 BUICK ENVISION

Filed Oct 1, 2026


My 2022 Buick Envision is experiencing sudden engine stalling while driving and intermittent failure to start. This creates an immediate safety hazard as the vehicle loses power unexpectedly in traffic. This vehicle matches the exact year, model, and defect described in GM EMISSION RECALL N25216900(Fuel Pump Power Control Module). However GM corporate is refusing to cover the repair under the recall because they claim my VIN is not yet active in their ‘phased launch’ system. The vehicle is…

Filed Sep 30, 2026


After coming to a stop, I then put onto another road and several warning lights chimes came on in my car, including brake system failure. This is the second time this has happened in less than two weeks. A dealership said they fix the problem and then it did it again today I was traveling on a road with several other vehicles. Due to the braking issue, it took me a longer distance than should’ve taken to get my vehicle to come to a complete stop. My speed limit is limited in my car, which could…

I was going to work in the morning. I went to stop at the redlight right at my work but my brakes were very firm and wouldnt push down. My service brake warning came up on my dash and service engine light came on. I had to practically stand up and press as hard as I could to get it to slow down enough to not rear end the person in front of me. I thank God I wasnt going very fast and thankfully the light was turning green at the same time so I just slowly rolled thru and pulled it into my…

At 1,578 miles, my 2025 Buick Envision would not start in my garage and had to be towed to the dealer. The check-engine light was on.

The vehicle remained at the dealership from November 10, 2025, through January 6, 2026, totaling 57 days. A similar engine failure while driving could cause an unexpected loss of power.
