The liftgate has randomly started closing on me while I'm loading groceries at least 3 times in the past year. Every time it has hit me in the forehead with enough force to cause intense pain for several days. Otherwise, it works normally so there is no way I know to intentionally reproduce the issue. It has not been inspected because, again, it has happened like 3 times in the past year. Very painful, but doesn't seem likely to be something obvious.

During multiple drives the vehicle completely shuts off when driving or at lower speeds. When this occurs (4 times over the last 3 months) the vehicle has no power or ability to restart creating a major safety issue. You cannot turn on the hazards or anything in the vehicle. The vehicle is still in drive (because you were driving when it occurred) and so you're unable to shift back into park to restart. After some time you are able to restart the vehicle and continue driving.

When traveling crossing over a bridge onto a highway, my tire started to shake uncontrollably. I went to a tire shop and they found nothing. Upon traveling recently it happened again while on the highway. This issues has affected my tire pressure sensors. I was informed that this is called shudder bucking and only happens when driving at a high speed. Upon research, I was able to find out that this is a known issue for my vehicle model made between the years of 2016 and 2020. This a complete safety hazard and concern and should not come at the expense of the vehicle owner.

I used the remote start on my key fob to warm up the vehicle before work. About 10 minutes later, I went to my vehicle to leave, I noticed the car was on fire. I opened the door and saw that the driver seat was on fire. I ran inside the house to get cups of water to put the fire out. Looks like the seat warmer on the driver side failed and ignited the leather seat. My life was at risk since a fire ensued. I was put in danger by having to put the fire out myself before it caused further damage. Also breathing in the fumes of the leather was a potential danger. The problem has not been reproduced. The car is currently at the dealership to be further inspected. No warning signs came up before the fire. No police reports were filed

When I am accelerating at a faster pace, always at 40 mph, my vehicle will start to shake. I have tested it several times now getting onto the interstate, it becomes an issue on the "on ramp" because I have to release the acceleration pedal and then very slowly get up to speed which causes me to not be able to get close enough to the posted speed while on the interstate which in turn causes other drivers to either slow down or try to move in another lane. I took it to my local Buick dealership (Trecek Automotive of Portage) on 4/29/24. They charged me $172.68 for diagnostics which resulted in this: Test drove. Did not feel shaking at first. The harder the vehicle was accelerated, the worse the shaking got. Recommend replacing front CV axle shafts. Cost approx. $1300. At the same time, I had a leak in the left rear axle seal which luckily was under warranty and was replaced. My 2017 Buick Envision has only 56,000 miles on it.

I had just left the driveway at my in-laws house, which is approx. an hour and 45 minutes from my home. Within moments, randomly, the sun roof popped open, as if someone had hit a remote. It would not close, and after trying for a bit, decided to drive home and we would address it there. When I hit the open road, the roof went the rest of the way open and then about two miles from the house, I starting choking on the smell of burning plastic. I immediately pulled over on to the shoulder of a side road, turning off the car. My husband was in a vehicle behind me and came over and we were both very concerned the vehicle was going to catch on fire. He tried to pull the fuse in the panel, but when we turned the vehicle back on, there was smoke coming from the sunroof motor area, and the smell was atrocious. The inside hood liner was very warm near the rear of the vehicle with the motor. At that point, we decided to call a tow truck, because it was obvious there was an electrical short. Because the sun roof was stuck open, we had to get a car cover to protect it from the rain coming in. The dealership investigated the next day, and confirmed there was an electrical short that was throwing high-voltage power in to the sunroof. It had melted the motor and wires around it, and had we gone any further, the voltage would have caused a more significant fire. They had to do significant repairs, costing $1400, as well as some clean-up of the interior to try and ensure we weren't continuing to breathe burnt-plastic fumes.

The brakes went to the floor with very little stopping power. Took the car to the dealer and the left brake line failed. The dealership said they thought since there was minor damage to the left front of the car, that this was the cause of the failure. The brake line was replaced with an aftermarket part and brake lines flushed and replaced. We had another instance of brakes going to the floor with little stopping power. This time the right side brake line failed. The dealership noticed that there was no damage on the right side of the car to cause this failure. The dealership told me they sent an email to corporate and checked for a recall on the brake lines. If this car would have been on the highway when either of these failures took place, we might be having a different conversation. I have asked the dealership to find out the cost of replacing the rear brake lines. Dealership involved in repairs. Reed Buick GMC 9550 NW Prairie View Rd Kansas City MO 64153 Phone 816-436-6300

Brakes did not engage when my husband pressed on them while he was driving. Brakes when straight to the floor. He noticed brake fluid on the ground and when he filled it back up and pressed on the brakes the fluid spewed out of the brake line. His safety and the safety of others was impacted because he was in traffic and a car started to slow and our Envisions brakes were not working. He had to swerve around multiple cars and go through a traffic light to avoid causing a wreck. This just happened on 7/31 so it has not ben reported but will be going to the dealership tomorrow on 8/1/2022. We did not notice any messages or warning lights on the dash. This appears to be an issue based on the other NHTSA report number 11398881,11396874,11467669,11465728,11454501 and 11406327

THE FIRST TIME (DEC 27, 2019) MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING ON REGULAR ROADS WHEN IT SUDDENLY SAID ENGINE OVERHEATING. WE PULLED OVER & LOOKED AT THE ENGINE AND COULD SEE COOLANT FLUID SQUIRTING OUT OF THE COOLANT PIPE-THERE WERE TINY HOLES IN THE METAL PIPE ALLOWING THIS LEAKAGE OF FLUID. WE WERE AWAY FROM HOME AND HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL DAYS FOR A REPLACEMENT PART TO BE ORDERED & REPAIRS TO BE DONE. ( IT COST US THOUSANDS BETWEEN THE WORK, OEM BUICK PARTS, AND EXTRA HOTEL DAYS SINCE WE WERE ON VACATION AWAY FROM HOME.) THEY REPLACED THE COOLANT PIPE. NOW AGAIN (APRIL 23, 2021), AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 2 MILES ON A REGULAR ROAD, APPROACHING THE ENTRANCE TO A HIGHWAY, THE CAR SUDDENLY SAID ENGINE OVERHEATING! I STOPPED AND TURNED THE CAR OFF. I WAITED ABOUT 25 MINUTES TILL IT COOLED. THEN I STARTED TO DRIVE AGAIN, VERY SLOWLY & WITH NO AIR CONDITIONER RUNNING. WITHIN ABOUT 3 MINUTES, THE TEMP WAS GOING UP SO I PULLED OVER AND WAITED AGAIN. THIS HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME AS I MADE IT HOME. NOW I CAN'T EVEN DRIVE IT WITHOUT IT QUICKLY SHOWING THE ENGINE OVERHEATING. A PROFESSIONAL MECHANIC REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT & NEW DEXCOOL (ORANGE) COOLANT BUT IT'S STILL OVERHEATING.

THE CAR ONLY HAS 33,000 MILES, SO I'M SURE THAT THIS IS NOT JUST THE RESULT OF AN OLDER TRANSMISSION. THIS HAPPENS NEARLY EVERYTIME I ACCELERATE MY VEHICLE.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATES AND HIGHWAYS, THE VEHICLE'S DASHBOARD COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. THE RADIO, METERS, DASH DISPLAY, ETC. ALL GO DARK AND TURN OFF FOR A SPAN OF 5-20 SECONDS. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES OVER THE COUPLE YEARS OF OWNERSHIP. THE VEHICLE IS ALWAYS GOING AT LEAST 60 MPH AND, WHILE IT DOESN'T TURN THE ENGINE OFF, IT DOES TURN THE AIR OFF AND, OVERALL, CAUSES A HUGE DISTRACTION FOR THE DRIVER.
