Example complaints
Electrical system: “When driving my whole dashboard including the radio goes black. I brought the car in December 2024 and the first time it happened I thought I was tripping and said if it happened again I was going report it. Well yesterday it went black on me twice in one day two different times and that is scary because I was on the highway and didn’t know what was going on. This is a brand new car in it should not be doing this.”
NHTSA complaint #11661382, filed 2025-05Other or unknown: “Since purchasing this unit on 06/14/2025, I have taken this car in for many issues, including the digital dashboard going out multiple times and the AC unit stopping working. I have attached the service history ticket for your records. This unit is deemed to fall apart here shortly. Not even a year old, and the AC has already gone out 3-4 times. Most important is the dashboard that shows speed and other important information I will use to drive.”
NHTSA complaint #11742697, filed 2026-06Engine: “I purchased the vehicle on 12/21/24, and I now have a check engine light with a code related to The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Fuel Management System used to maintain, control, and monitor fuel consumption. I am not sure if my safety is at risk as the service center cannot currently schedule a service appointment to confirm the issue.”
NHTSA complaint #11633375, filed 2024-12Brakes: “Vehicle: 2025 Buick Envista Incident Date: July 19, 2025 I purchased a brand-new 2025 Buick Envista in June, 2025 and owned it for just over a month when the brakes suddenly and completely failed while I was driving on the highway. As I exited the ramp and attempted to slow down, the brake pedal went soft and unresponsive. I had no ability to stop my vehicle, and in a moment of panic, I swerved into a curb to avoid hitting other cars or pedestrians. This caused damage to my rim and tire, but thankfully I avoided a major crash or injury. …”
