During the past 3 years I have had to replace the battery 3 times, my daytime running lamps keep turning off, I have had to replace the ignition coil and now my car has been at the dealership for a week because there is an electrical problem they cannot figure out. The chassis control module was replaced but did not fix the problem. My personal mechanic advised the TCM was coding, but dealership said no. I am beyond frustrated! These problems started around 60000 miles and now it has 83000 miles on it and can't be driven. If GM knew about the issues (as found in multiple articles on line) why didn't they disclose?
INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING IN BRIGHT DAYLIGHT, WHILE WEARING SUNGLASSES, IS INSUFFICIENT. IN ORDER TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER EITHER ON THE ANALOG DIAL OR ON THE SMALL DIGITAL DISPLAY WHILE DRIVING, REQUIRES THE REMOVAL OF THE SUNGLASSES, TAKE YOUR EYES OFF THE ROAD, AND PEER INTO THE PANEL IN ORDER TO READ THE SPEEDOMETER. THE GAS AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES ARE NOT VISIBLE AT ALL. ADJUSTING THE INTENSITY SWITCH HAS NO EFFECT DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS. THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN REPORTED TO THE LOCAL BUICK SERVICE DEPARTMENT AS WELL AS BUICK HEADQUARTERS. THEY SAID THEY WILL INFORM THE ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF THIS PROBLEM. THIS LIGHTING ISSUE WAS VERIFIED ON OTHER NEW ENCORE'S IN THE DEALERS LOT. *TR
