NHTSA Complaint #11278761 — 2018 BUICK ENCORE

WHEN IT RAINS MOST IF THE TIME THE VEHICLE ONSTAR SETS OFF ALERTS FOR MY ANTILOCK BRAKES AND STABILITY TO BE CHECKED. DEALER SAID IT IS NORMAL AND NOT CONCERNING BUT CHECKED AT THE 1 YEAR INSPECTION FOR ME. NPF. A MONTH LATER A RAINY DAY, ALERTS, AND THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START. ALL THE LIGHTS CAME ON, 'PRESS BRAKE TO START' APPEARED BUT PRESSING BREAK DID NOT START IT. AFTER AN HOUR OF TRYING VARIOUS 'TRICKS' IT STARTED WITH THE REMOTE STARTER. A WEEK LATER SAME THING. RAIN, ALERTS, AND NO START. THIS TIME 2 HOURS OF TRYING VARIOUS TRICKS- (EMERGENCY BREAK ON OFF/ PARK PUSHED ALL THE WAY UP, WHEELS FORWARD, REMOTE START ATTEMPTS, ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS ETC) I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED. THE MECHANIC FROM AAA TRIED AND NOTHING, WE TOWED AN HOUR BACK TO DEALERSHIP AND HE TRIED ONCE MORE, NOTHING. NEXT MORNING THE DEALERSHIP REPORTED NPF. I AM PICKING IT UP TOMORROW BUT EXPECT TO REPORT THIS HAPPENING AGAIN SOON.
