Vehicle has stalled when moving slowly and making a turn or slight turn.

No warnings or service lights have appeared in the instrument cluster. July 4, 2026, morning – Vehicle stalled entering an alley, moving slowly and turning.

July 4, 2026, afternoon – Vehicle stalled after stopping for cross traffic in a roundabout and then moving to enter the roundabout. It was necessary to completely stop the vehicle in traffic order to restart it (depressing brake pedal and pushing the start button).

The data screen for navigation has gone blank several times. A few times previously but 3 times in the past 2 days. The speedometer is viable but not the radio or navigation. Adaptive cruise control has occasionally alerted that it is not available & shuts off on its own. An alert yesterday stated power steering needs to be serviced but nothing is wrong. The car has turned off as I started to pull out into traffic & turned back on its self 3 times today. One time in the morning on my way to the gym at a stop light when it turned green when I went to proceed the car turned off and turn back on its self, leaving the gym pulling out of the parking lot pulling out into traffic it turned off & back on by itself & this evening after stoping at a store I stopped at the exit & when I went to pull out in traffic the car turned off & back on again by itself. Also the delay wipers do not come on themselves.

Driving and everything on my dashboard goes black. Also issues with false blind spot detections.

My son's car was hit by this Buick while he was making a right turn. The driver of the Buick was not paying attention and thought he had already turned. She accelerated into him and AEB did not prevent it. We are not sure why this Buick's ADAS failed. It is not our car, but that of the person who hit us. I don't know the answers to the above question as we were not the driver and it is not our car. Our concern is how could the car allow such an impact to occur especially at low speed.

I am writing to report a serious and ongoing safety issue with my vehicle. While I was actively driving in traffic, my car suddenly shut off completely without warning. This occurred while the vehicle was in motion, creating an immediate and dangerous situation. During this incident, the steering wheel locked up multiple times while I was driving, making it extremely difficult to control the vehicle and safely maneuver through traffic. This put not only my safety at risk, but also the safety of other drivers on the road. In addition to this, there are multiple mechanical and safety-related issues with the vehicle: •The driver’s seat is stuck and cannot be adjusted. •The front doors will not lock. •The back doors will not unlock. These issues significantly increase the risk of injury or harm in the event of an emergency, accident, or even while the vehicle is parked. Given that the vehicle shut off in traffic and experienced steering lock while driving, I do not feel the car is safe to operate. I am requesting that this matter be reviewed urgently, as this vehicle presents a serious safety hazard to myself and others. Please advise on the next steps for inspection, coverage, or resolution as soon as possible. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? Answer: The brake system failed, specifically involving the brake master cylinder and/or electronic brake booster assembly. The vehicle and affected components are currently available for inspection at a Buick dealership. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? Answer: The vehicle experienced a complete loss of braking while in motion. The brake pedal did not provide normal stopping capability, and the vehicle did not slow or stop as expected when the brakes were applied. This created an unsafe driving condition due to the inability to stop the vehicle using normal braking input. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Answer: Yes. The vehicle was inspected by a Buick dealership following the incident, and the dealer confirmed a failure of the brake master cylinder and/or electronic brake booster assembly. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? Answer: The vehicle has been inspected by a Buick dealership. General Motors Customer Assistance has been contacted regarding the issue. No police report was filed, as no collision occurred Were there any warning lamps, messages or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? Answer: There were no warning lamps, messages, or symptoms prior to the incident. Warning messages and indicator lights appeared at the time of the failure, including brake system warnings, Stabilitrak, and steering assist reduced.

Sunroof glass shattered on I-5 south approx 1215pm just before the Nisqually exit. We looked for cause of the incident but could not find debris/rocks that could've been the cause. Also, there wasn't much glass inside the car, the remnants puckered upwards. The glass shatter seemed to come out of the blue; weather was grey but no rain or sprinkles at the time. We pulled over at the next exit which was Nisqually to look at the damage and to tape up the car.

I filed and submitted my paragraph yesterday and have not heard a word. My son was in the back seat when it happened and he is extremely traumatized in getting back into a vehicle. My car was purchased in 2023 and it is a 2024 and is non drivable due to the engine explosion while driving in 14 degree weather on a two lane high way with my 6 and 7 year old in the back seat. My engine exploded and I no longer have my brand new car I was once so happy about. I hope this is reviewed and someone takes this seriously. I didnt have my brand new car for even 2 years and now I am just out of an option. My car is at the dealer ship and im praying I get good will out of this. I cpuld have been hit on the high way, traffic on coming while I had to merge off the highway as lastly as I could when I felt the explosion.

On December 3rd I contacted roberts-Robertson Chevrolet in Excelsior springs where I purchased my brand new 2024 buick envista. I told them my engine light is on, we scheduled service for 4 days later, the engine light shut off, i contacted them on the 13th telling them it is back on and now i am concerned if it is safe, while speaking to the representative will not share her name, until I am contacted, the service representative, I asked her yestersay at 1 pm cst over the phone if I was safe to be driving my kids to places with the engine light back on or should we be worried. She exact words stated your safe to keep driving, she said if anything. It might not start right away after driving and turning it off. But thats the most it will do. Not even two hours later, im driving my car and its 14 degrees, the car shakes, and I get an emergency shut off immediately nowessage on the screen. As soon as I got pulled over, the place it happened, all my oil just rapidly leaked out. I was told by my someone who works there to light a fire to my car so if the dealership doesnt stand behind it. At least id have an insurance claim. I clearly did not listen to that illegal advice. I am beyond upset. My kids are scared to death when it comes to getting back in the car. I had to pay 200 dollars to get it towed. And now im car less. It is our only car. I am stuck in a situation right before the holidays and I feel [XXX]. I feel complete dealership neglect when it comes to her reassuring my car was okay to drive when she didnt know what the safety risk was. My name is [XXX], I havent had the car for even two years. And its at 6 1 or 62 thousand miles. Im praying for good will or that they are able to fix this and allow me a rental car. I have been stressed to the max. I've spoke to 8005217300 the company who towed us and they told me some [XXX]. I just feel like this is a major safety and major concern issue. My car is garage parked. There was no sign leaks.

See attached document for complaint.

Was driving car and attempted to roll my window door and the car would not allow it. Then I started hearing clicking noises which was the sound of locking and unlocking door. Which I heard in succession of at 9 times. Later on the return drive on the highway the car let me consistently lock and unlock when in drive. I got home, turn the car off and radio did not turn of even after opening driver’s door

Needed to jack up the car to change the tire. There is a Jack included with the car. Upon using it in the correct spot in accordance with the owners manual, the Jack began to significantly bend while trying to raise the car to change the tire! It looked so unsafe that we abandoned the tire change. If I were on the side of the road, trying to use this, it could be deadly.

To whom it may concern, I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding the safety and reliability of my leased vehicle. I have been experiencing ongoing issues that pose a serious safety risk. Approximately two months into my lease, I began experiencing electrical problems with the vehicle. The most concerning issue is the car's tendency to shut down unexpectedly while driving, which has escalated over time. Each incident has resulted in significant concern for my safety and that of my passengers, as well as for other drivers on the road. I visited the dealership to report the problem and get the car serviced but I was unfortunately met with unprofessional behavior, and was asked to leave the dealership without resolution. Despite my repeated attempts to address the ongoing issues, I have been unable to find a suitable solution. Additionally, the lack of available loaner vehicles has made it increasingly difficult to have the vehicle serviced. Driving a vehicle that is prone to unexpected shutdowns is not only inconvenient but poses a significant safety hazard. I am deeply concerned that continued use of this vehicle may lead to an accident, endangering myself, my family, and others on the road. Given the seriousness of these safety issues, I am formally requesting an investigation into these matters. I believe it is essential for this situation to be addressed promptly to ensure that necessary measures are taken to prevent accidents and protect consumers. Please let me know if further information is required to support my complaint. I appreciate your attention to this serious matter and look forward to your prompt response. Sincerely, [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
