I got the car with 16 miles on it in 2017. I've had it in the shop more than any previous vehicle. The latest is, new injectors. The car has always shifted weird, I just assumed it was because of the optional auto/manual. Then it started losing all power and clanking when trying to go up an incline. This morning I was informed the injectors did not fix the problem...I can't help but feel like I was put in a "Lemon"... I just want it fixed so I can go eat the cost of it (resale value sucks!), and get into a reliable vehicle.

Bought my Encore new in 2017, and while the pandemic minimized the miles on it (just hitting 40K), it still runs well, and the interior is in great shape. This is a solid car with no engine or electric issues (I've been like clockwork on maintenance). Acceleration is weak (especially after coming from my Mini Clubman S) but it does the trick. It's quiet ride and I love being high enough up in traffic that I can usually see a few cars ahead.

Only 500 miles.mso farv simply very impressive vehicle. Now about 7800 miles. Still very happy! No I have 28,000 miles and still love the vehicle! On vacation at 46,000 miles and the turbo went out. Clason GMC Buick La Crosse WI fixed it with in 24 hours. They were probably the nicest best dealer we have ever visited.
