But the dealer wasn’t able to determine the fault and the SUV wasn’t repaired. It mentions a sensor that would normally enable instant braking. The most recent complaint describes a delay in braking before the vehicle stopped.
2021 ENCORE GX DRIVER
Then my brake light comes on in red.” The driver slowed down enough to put the SUV into park mode. “First my power steering warning comes on my dash. After Googling the symptoms, it seems to be a problem with the brake booster.”Īnother complaint says. But I can tell something is wrong with the brakes and this isn’t how new brakes are supposed to feel. This seems dangerous and my dealership says nothing is wrong with the car. “I noticed the brakes are very hard to press down and I can’t stop the vehicle over short distances. The second failure was in a leased 2021 Encore. The dealer said the vehicle needs a new master cylinder. However, when my brake system failed, it did exactly what was described as the potential consequences of the brake failure issue in the vehicles recalled.” I was told, based on my VIN number, that my vehicle is not included in that specific recall. “I found that there are recalls on certain 2021 Buick Encore GX’s for an issue related to brake system failure. A message on the screen said: “Brake System Failure, 62 mph Top Speed.” Other messages also came up, including one mentioning power steering. Numerous lights came on, including the brake lights. The first failure happened when the owner of an Encore with only 672 miles on the clock pulled into a parking space and the brake system failed. All might be related to a problem with the electronic brake boost that is the cause of a recall. Brake Problemsįour complaints deal with brake problems.

The most common problems with the 2021 Encore relate to its brakes, followed by dangerous issues with the emergency jack.

The 2021 model also has a 4-star rating for rollover, although the rollover risk is slightly lower at 18.50%. This measures the risk of rollover if the driver loses control of a vehicle. The 2013 model got 5-star ratings in frontal and side crash tests, but only 4 stars for the rollover test. NHTSA also undertakes tests to measure the safety of vehicles.
For example, only 2 of the 50 complaints about the 2013 model are dated 2013. This may not sound like a lot, but complaints are lodged for years after a model is launched. There have been 2 recalls and 157 early warning documents. So far, the 2021 model has a record of 8 complaints that cover 10 problems. They are regarded as early warning requirements. Since 2012, manufacturers have been required by law to share all these communications with NHTSA. There were 6 recalls of the first model and an investigation into airbag issues is still open.Īdditionally, there have been an incredible 1,248 manufacturer communications from Buick to dealers warning of problems and faults. Department of Transportation’s National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) website topped 50.
