2020 Buick Enclave mounting bracket separated from the front exhaust pipe which caused a hole to appear in the exhaust pipe. This is a known issue for 2019, 2021, and 2022 Buick Enclaves.

The 3.6 liter engine in my 2018 Buick Lacrosse Avenir only has 53,939 when we experienced a thermostat failure. The engine temperature was dead cold, and the dual electric fans were running non-stop. When I scanned the trouble code, I found PO128 which points to a faulty thermostat. Because the thermostat is buried under the intake manifold, we had the local Buick dealership replace it at a cost of over $800.00. I don't feel that a car with so few miles should be experiencing a thermostat failure. But this seems to be a common problem with the GM 3.6 liter motor according to a number of Buick forums that I read after the problem occurred.

This recall has been open for over a year with no indication of when the repair will be made. For something like an airbag, this extended time seems unreasonable. Please "encourage" GM to make the repair parts available to its dealerships ASAP.

While driving the dash signal came on stating that the power steering unit had gone off. The car was being driven without power steering. The message state to get serviced immediately. There was a recall for this problem but research states that my vin number did not show my car was part of this recall. WELL, IT IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS OTHERS. Please advise as to how I can get this fixed by the dealership under a recall #15168/15U14600. There is only 18,000 miles on this car, YES eighteen thousand. This recall needs to include my vehicle. Please respond immediately.

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Envista. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the speedometer gauge went blank. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shut off. The speedometer started flashing, and the MPH changed. The contact stated that 71 MPH was displayed on the speedometer and continued to flash and increase. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the system was upgraded. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Ferguson Buick GMC (1601 N Elm Pl., Broken Arrow, OK 74012); where it was determined that a factory reset was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The dealer suggested that the vehicle be taken to another location. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the speedometer became inoperable for five minutes. The instrument panel was blank. The manufacturer was contacted, and opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 250.

When driving car the speedometer goes blank no way to tell how fast you are going. Police has pulled over for speeding over 15 miles the speed limit but there is no way to tell how fast you are going. Car screen where speedometer is appears as if the car was parker as it is turning off several times when the car is being driven. It has been to the shop once for a software update second time in the shop for a factory reset third time in the shop for nearly 25 days and noone tested the car to see if it was working properly. Car is having so many safety issues at this time. The dealership kicked the car out of the shop due to the demands of other cars that were sold from their dealership.
