2018 BUICK ENCORE Unknown Or Other Problems

After filling up fuel vehicle starts and stalls out. This occurs while driving at stop signs. And also while driving loss of power. There is something wrong in the engine, timing belt, fuel, etc.

All Wheel Drive System & All Wheel Drive Off Warnings 4 Different Times One Time lost the ability to Steer Once to Dealership can not duplicate & the lights are off so can't get codes they said. There is a recall for same issue on same vehicle for same year but says my VIN isn't included. Jan. 16 May 3 May 6 May 21 all of this year. Had warranty on car when started said only bumper to bumper would cover it. Car only had 48,839 miles when first happened. Still only has 51,852 miles.

My all 4 tires blew in the past years. It was due to defective tires that I was not aware of. It could have meant death or injury consequences for me and the passengers of the vehicle.

Turbo charger malfunction. Confirmed by dealership and had to be replaced. Stabilitrak malfunction. Car is stalling out at a red light or stop sign, and/or jerking hard. Stalled out in middle of an intersection with my children in the car. Ongoing problem.

Stabilitrak warning comes on and car stalls out. Passenger seat belt doesn't clip person in correctly.

I WAS TOLD TO REACH OUT TO THIS SITE BECAUSE OF THE ISSUES I AM HAVING WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE BEEN IN A THE PROCESS OF TRYING TO GET MY 2018 BUICK BOUGHT BACK BY GM. IN JUNE 2019 THE BUICK DIED ON THE RAILROAD TRACKS IN ARCHIE, MO THEN 30-40 SECONDS LATER IT STARTED BACK UP ON IT'S OWN WITHOUT MY ASSISTANCE. I CALLED ON-STAR RIGHT AWAY AND ASKED IF A CODE WAS THROWN. NO CODE WAS THROWN. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THAT THE BATTERY WHICH WAS NOT EVEN A YEAR OLD BLEW UP INSIDE ITSELF. I BOUGHT THE BUICK 8.24.2018. THEY DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE BATTERY. IN JULY OF 2019 I WAS DRIVING ON 1-70 RIGHT BEFORE THE 291 EXIT AND THE CAR JOULTED (THE ONLY TIME IT HAS EVER DONE THAT) IT DIED AGAIN 30-40 SECONDS THE CAR CAME BACK ON. ONCE AGAIN...

AS FAR AS I CAN DETERMINE THERE IS NO RECALL CONCERNING TIRES ON 2018 ENCORES. YET AT ONLY 19,334 MILES ON MY ENCORE I HAD TO REPLACE A TIRE BECAUSE THE TIRE STORE COULD NOT GET THE TIRE REPAIRED. THEIR COMMENT WAS THAT THE PUNCTURE ON THE TREAD AREA WAS TOO LARGE TO ACCEPT A PATCH. THUS I SPENT $172.25 FOR AN EQUIVALENT NEW TIRE. IF BUICK IS NOT CAPABLE OF PROVIDING TIRES THAT WILL LAST PAST 19,000 MILES THEN THEY NEED TO DO A QUALITY CHECK. THE "FACTORY" TIRE I HAD TO REPLACE WAS A CONTINENTAL TIRE (P215/ 55R/ 18 RATED AT 94H. *TR

THIS TOOK PLACE ON PRIVATE PROPERTY IN THE PARKING LOT OF A COMMERCIAL BUILDING. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION GOING FORWARD. IT WAS DECELERATING HEAD-IN INTO A PARKING SPOT. THE BRAKING ACTION WAS ENGAGED. THE VEHICLE HAD SLOWED TO ABOUT 5 MPH. MY RIGHT FOOT WAS ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND THE BRAKING WAS ENGAGED. I THEN HEARD THE SOUND OF THE ENGINE REVVING AT A VERY HIGH RATE. THERE WAS A HIGH WHINING SOUND. I LOST BRAKING AS MY RIGHT FOOT DEPRESSED THE PEDAL ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR. THE CAR SUDDENLY ACCELERATED FORWARD AT AN INCREASED SPEED. IT JUMPED THE SIDEWALK CURB, CROSSED THE CONCRETE SIDEWALK, AND SLAMMED INTO A CINDER BLOCK WALL COLUMN ON THE SIDE OF A BUILDING. THE VEHICLE FELT LIKE IT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION.

THE DRIVER'S SIDE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR (LOCATED ON THE SIDE MIRROR) IS MALFUNCTIONING AND GIVING FALSE AND ERRONEOUS INDICATIONS - BOTH FALSE POSITIVES AND FALSE NEGATIVES - THIS HAS OCCURRED EACH TIME I HAVE DRIVEN THE VEHICLE- ON THE FREEWAY, ON THE HIGHWAY, ON SIDE STREETS. IF DRIVERS DEPEND ON THIS EXTREMELY UNRELIABLE SAFETY FEATURE ACCIDENTS ARE HIGHLY LIKELY TO RESULT.

THE DRIVERS SIDE BLIND SPOT INDICATOR IS MALFUNCTIONING AND GIVING FALSE AND ERRONEOUS INDICATIONS THIS IS DUE TO THE INCORRECT PARTS BEING INSTALLED AT THE FACTORY. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT "CONTROL MODULE" FROM THE FACTORY WAS THE INCORRECT PART NUMBER FOR THE VEHICLE AND MAY THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT THEY ARE UNSURE AS THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO REPLACE IT.
