Verbatim excerpts from NHTSA complaints, by component

Electrical system

5 reports
“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 also cause a danger due to the roads that I travel frequently.”

Service brakes

4 reports1 crash
“The contact owns a 2024 Buick Envision. The contact stated that while driving 15-20 MPH, the brake pedal was depressed and the brakes failed to respond as needed, causing the vehicle to crash into a residence. The contact shifted into reverse(R), and the vehicle crashed into a porta-potty at a construction site. The vehicle shifted into park and stopped. The contact stated that the Driver Assist feature was operational during the failure. The contact sustained bruising and soreness to the right side of the body. The vehicle was drivable after the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 22,000.”

Engine

4 reports
“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 valve, followed by another consumption test. Next option is replacing the engine.”
