APRX 6AM TUESDAY JULY 18, 2017, APRX 5:45 AM, WITH NO KEY FOB IN MY WIFE'S OR MY POSSESSION AND NO ONE WITHIN 30 FEET OF THE CARE PARKED IN THE GARAGE, THE 2017 BUICK ENCORE STARTED ON ITS OWN. THE CAR WAS STATIONARY AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE SINCE APRX 7:00 PM MONDAY EVENING THE 17TH. HEARING A NOISE IN THE GARAGE, I WENT THERE AND FOUND THE CARD ENGINE RUNNING. THE GARAGE DOOR WAS CLOSED, AND NO ONE COULD HAVE ENTERED THE GARAGE. WE ARE TAKING THE CAR TO PLACE OF PURCHASE, KLICK LEWIS BUICK CHEV, PALMYRA, PA TO DETERMINE WHAT THEY WILL DO TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. CHECKED RECALL AND FOUND NOTHING. SINCE THIS SELF STARTING COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE OTHER DAMAGE INCLUDING CARBON MONOXIDE IN A CLOSED AREA (DON'T KNOW IF IT WOULD HAVE SHUT OFF AFTER A SET SHORT TIME ON ITS OWN) THOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REPORTED AND A NOTICE SENT OUT TO ALL ENCORE OWNERS WARNING THEM OF THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).'*JB

AIRBAG DEVELOPS A PROBLEM WHERE THE HORN IS VERY SENSITIVE AND SOMETIMES DEPLOYS ON ITS OWN. OTHER TIMES IT WON'T WORK AT ALL. A HORN GOING OFF AT INAPPROPRIATE TIMES COULD CONFUSE OTHER DRIVERS AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.THE PARTICULAR PART HAS BEEN DISCONTINUED BY GM BUT THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THEM NOT ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE.

VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHILE IN MOTION ON HIGHWAY, STREETS, ETC . CANNOT BREAK , STEER , ETC. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. SOMETIMES WILL START RIGHT BACK UP WITH A JUMP BUT WILL SHUT DOWN AGAIN AS DRIVING. BRAND NEW BATTERY . VERY UNSAFE !!! TAKEN TO GMC DEALERSHIP BUT STILL NOT FIXED.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS GO OUT WHEN RIGHT TURN SIGNAL IS APPLIED AND RETURNS TO CENTER POSITION. A/C COOLING FAN DOES NOT COOL COMPRESSOR ENOUGH TO RUN A/C AT LOW SPEEDS CAUSING PRESSURE TO BUILD UP IN FERON RECEIVER. CAR IS AT IDLE OR LOW SPEED.

HEADLIGHTS HAVE A MIND OF THEIR OWN. ONLY HIGH BEAMS WORK. MY GRANDSON NOTICED A RECALL HE CALLED THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. WAS TOLD THAT OUR VIN NUMBER WAS NOT LISTED. SAME MODEL AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS.. HE REPLACED HEADLIGHT MODULE AND BOTH BULBS ABOUT 70 DOLLARS LOST. THIS HAPPENED AT NIGHT WHILE GOING DOWN ROAD IN HEAVY RAIN ON 2 LANE
