general problems of the 2013 Buick Encore

My car had problems with overheating. I check my oil and coolant levels. My car show check engine light so I took it to mechanics to get check. The invoice states possible blown head gaskets. I research online similar complaints with other Buick Encore 2013. I just this car March 2023 has about 89000. I am making payments.

The check engine light came and took the car to o'reillys and was informed it had low turbo boost code took car to the dealership and they indeed confirmed that was the issue and that it would be over $3000. 00 to fix!!! I bought this car 4 months ago and this seems to be an issue with a few other owners as well Buick needs to recall this part!!! if not fixed it may cause deceleration or overheat and start to burn into the manifold of the exhaust. No other parties have looked at the car except the dealership. Only lamp that came on was the check engine light and it was sometimes go off and then come back on.

Turbo went out twice within 3 months. Also I waited for 6 weeks on a back ordered part. So much service work. . . Problem after problem this car is a lemon. The paint literally fell off the mirrors within the first year.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Buick Encore. The contact stated that the vehicle was experiencing electrical failures. One side of the vehicle was able to be heated through the vents while the other side was not able. The vehicle also jerked when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where the electrical failure was confirmed. The dealer and manufacturer were not contacted regarding the jerking and heating failure. The failure mileage was 108,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2013 Buick Encore. While driving 35 mph, the contact noticed that the check engine and traction warning indicators illuminated. The contact also noticed that the accelerator pedal was not working properly. The contact pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road, turned off the vehicle for approximately two minutes, restarted the vehicle, and it operated normally. The dealer (glocker Buick of ironton, 911 s 3rd st, ironton, OH 45638) informed the contact of an extended warranty for when the engine may go into reduce engine power mode. There were no recalls associated with the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired under the extended warranty. The dealer also informed the contact of a throttle body failure, which did not fall under the extended warranty. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the throttle body failure was not a part of the extended warranty; therefore, Buick did not have to repair the failure. The failure mileage was 74,000.

I have problem with the turbocharger.

Premium trim level has forward collision warning. On at least six occasions beginning November of last year (2013), the forward collision warning has come on with no vehicle in front for hundreds of feet and has disengaged the cruise control, essentially causing the vehicle to coast until the accelerator was manually depressed. Four incidents occurred while traveling on the new jersey turnpike at 65 to 68 mph; one incident occurred on a local road at 45 mph; and one incident occurred on a local road traveling at 35 mph (police patrolled area, use cruise to not exceed speed limit). During each episode, road conditions were dry and calm (no debris flying in front of the camera to trigger the feature, nor windshield wiper in use). After the first two incidents, it was brought up verbally with service tech when vehicle was in for routine maintenance, and most recently last month when vehicle was checked for seat track safety recall. This complaint was not put on the service record either time. Both times I was told that something must have triggered the camera. Nothing went across my windshield to trigger this feature. Cruise control disengaging at highway speed is unsafe.

Leaving a stop sign onto three lane road going down a hill,when the car had no acceleration, I put on flashers and coasted to curb,had to call wrecker and be towed to dealer,said it was a throttle body sensor,that is sensitive to cold weather,2 dealers said the same thing. New part was ordered,but I don't feel safe in our cold weather if this happens on highway and it stops I am so afraid I will be run over by traffic moving at the speed limit and my Encore just stops. Feel my new part is not the fix for this safety issue, they say they can't say it won't happen again. Also read someone in n. D. Was having same issue. Hope you can look into this.
