Never buy a Buick

I bought my Encore GX new in late February 2021. I paid several hundred dollars to put in remote start, because my car lives outside and we have a hard winter. In early May 2023 (so, just over 2 years old) the check engine light went on. I take it in, they need a part. It has been TEN MONTHS. No communication, no apologies—you cannot reach a person at GM HQ. Nothing. I have had three oil changes since. I cannot use my remote start while the check engine light is on. Disgusting. Never buying a Buick again.

Turbo beware

I really love this suv until my turbo went out with 50,000 miles on it. I take such good care of this vehicle but that has nothing to do with this issue this is something we have no control over this. is a GM issue. Took a month to get parts total abotr 5 weeks to get part and fix. I have researched this problem it is a common problem in this vehicle. The encore looks good drives great but not any good if you have to pay out of pocket to fix a turbo problem that is an expensive fix. I was blessed mine was still under warranty just bearly. I feel like if this happens again GM is gonna have a class action lawsuit on there hands.
