Do not buy this car!

I have Encore base for 7 months and it has about 6K miles now. It is a comfortable car, but all positives ends here. Performance is mediocre. Driving it is a nightmare: I experience automatic transmission issues at times. Gears are switching erratically and incorrectly, the car is shaking. Dealer is reluctant to do anything: they just cannot duplicate the problem. Build quality is horrible: I did have a problem with shock absorber, it took me 4 visits to dealer to fix it. Do not buy this car under any circumstances!

What a pain

While it was still under warranty it had two oil leaks and awd would shut off when there was any wheel spin. Since the warranty has expired.....three more oil leaks (different spots), broken springs rattling suspension and a cracked differential. It sounds like an abused car but really its not. I drive 25 miles to work everyday on newly paved highway. No off roading! I have 83000 miles on it and I have been so disappointed in this car. A co-worker had the same vehicle and she also had oil leaks.

Love Hate Relationship

I purchased my 2014 Buick Encore about a year ago, and it was a great car for about 8 months.... I noticed a coolant leak which I was told was in the turbo. No mechanic could find the leak. Around month 10, all of a sudden my car started shaking when I braked, high pitch screech from engine, constant check engine light, started to stall when I accelerated. This car only has 40,000 miles on it. Everything about the car was great, until it wasn’t.

I've really enjoyed the vehicle, it has been a worry free vehicle. The comfort and performance of the vehicle has been good.
