2017 Buick Envision Exterior lighting Problems

“The headlight illumination on the 2017 Buick Envision or inadequate. They are dim and lack distance projection even on bright. We can barely see to get up and down the hill of our driveway. We do not drive at night unless we know the road well. The headlights should be recalled because they will cause accidents and there will be lawsuits.”

“Car makes a scrapping sound. Spent 32 days, then 22 days at the garage. At the 32 days torque tube to drive shaft changed. Noise came back. At 22 days Buick sent a field rep. To work on Envision. Invoice said they loosened & retorque the frame that attaches the rear differential to the unit body of the car. With my case Buick called & told me the garage changed a carrier bearing. Asked the garage why they said that. Was told they had to put something down to get paid. Buick ended up doing a repurchase. Now we have the same noise in the replacement Buick Envision 2017. …”

“The headlights on this vehicle are mostly inadequate. They fail to provide decent lighting beyond a short distance in front of the vehicle. The fog lights improve the situation, but when using high beams you'd have better luck seeing ahead by putting a flashlight out the window. My 2017 encore with the pan reflective halogen lights are much more effective than these more expensive terminator style headlights. (the lights look like terminator eyes). …”

“The interior lighting for the dash/radio/backup camera/nav screen are all dimmed prematurely in the evening. You'll enter a shady area and while still very bright outside, the screen dims and all of the dash lights dim to the point of being unusable - almost non-existent. Safety issue on backup camera, or if trying to view nav screen and next turns, you are driving blind because the screen is too dark to see anything. Dealer claimed to have brightened the screen, but that simply didn't do anything. Problem still apparent. …”

“Dash lights go out when you are in a shady area. Stay out way to long. No way to adjust to make them bright. Collision alert goes off when you are not near hitting anything. Clock went from est to west coast time. Car makes a knocking sound in the rear end. Also makes a scrapping sound. Doesn't matter if your going up hill, downhill, left or right. Never know when it will do it. Always when the speed is between 45 & 55 MPH. This is the second Buick Envision that was repurchased. Same issue with the first one. Worked on many times by garage & even a rep sent from Buick. …”
