2022 BUICK ENVISION

Filed May 18, 2026


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…

Onstar module out. Car can not be detected of location. Can not use gps. In the event of accident onstar can not help me this is a safety problem for a woman especially.

Dealership says module needs to be changed. It has also affected other components of the car. I see this is a wide range problem. Dealer sell…

Same as in the other two complaints. At one year and approximately 5000 miles I personally did the first oil change. Car was approximately 3 quarts low on oil after draining the oil for the oil change. Filled up to manufacturers recommendation. Two months later and approximately 1000 miles on the car, the car was 1 quart low. GM has a bulletin on this very issue bulletin number 01–0 6–0 1–011N. Started oil consumption test through the dealer. Dealer stated the first remedy is replacement of a…

Saw same problem for others online at [XXX] . Stated there that replacing amplifier corrects problem. Both dealer and…

While driving the dash and radio randomly turn off. Sometimes staying black for minutes others until you stop the car and walk away for several minutes. Leaving you without a way to tell how fast you are going, or any other safety information, fuel level or more.

While driving for approximately 2 1/2 hours with cruise set at 78. I did need to brake on occasion and then resume speed. For no apparent reason the car suddenly braked. Speed dropped to about 50 and then immediately resumed speed. No one was hurt. Things in the back seat pushed forward. I don’t know if it has anything to do with that incident but from them until I returned home, about 1 hour later my windows were fogging, I turned on the defrost about 3 times.
