Used 2014 Buick Encore Premium 4dr SUV (1.4L 4cyl Turbo 6A) Consumer Reviews
Dissatisfied with Encore, GM, and the Dealer!
We purchased our Encore brand new. After an initial "honeymoon period", we started having reliability issues. The car has now been repaired three times for suspension noise. It has gotten so bad that the Dealer & GM proposed a "Trade Assist" as they suggested we get rid of the car. Unfortunately the assistance wasn't much. We are very dissatisfied - we have spend endless time on the phone with GM and at the Dealer. I would highly recommend you consider another manufacturer!
Excellent car, pass on the navigation
We are pleased with everything except the navigation. Worst GPS routing I have ever used. Hard to use as it is voice only and some names not recognized, also GM wants $140 to update map every year. Our TOM TOM comes with free lifetime map updates for less than one GM update -- and it is easier to use. The vehicle is exce;;ent for what we do, lots of long distance driving, a bit small on the inside but perfect for two. We will not use it for anything other than finding an address in town -- if it even can find the address. Do not waste your money on the navigation system. Spend $100 on a portable instead of $800 for the car system.

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.
