Electrical system
5 reports
“Vehicle would not start, took a jump, all warning lights came on. I started to drive the car and all lights starting blinking. After shutting down, the vehicle again did not start. Towed it to dealer, been there for a week now, many modules had to be replaced including the Three times they said it's fixed, three times they called back to say it's not.”
Service brakes
3 reports
“I was driving ~72 MPH on the interstate and my car suddenly downshifted and the dash read “Speed limited to 62 MPH”. I took the nearest off ramp and the brakes completely failed. The dash initially read “service transmission” and “service breaks”. After restarting the Buick Envision, the MyBuick App diagnostics stated “service breaks” only. The car was towed to the dealership this date. I have not heard from them on what has caused the brake failure yet.”
Engine
1 report
“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 dealer tore down the engine and found a spun No. 1 main bearing. GM replaced the complete engine under warranty. 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. I do not have the failed engine; its current location is unknown.”
