general problems of the 2015 Buick Encore

Tilt steering wheel usage is causing wires in steering culumb to break.

1. Both rear springs have broken within 1 year of each other. There were no accidents or any kind or off road driving. These are expensive to fix. 2. Driver side airbag light is on. No idea why. Afraid to drive this vehicle.

I've had my car for 3 years. I've always kept up with it's maintenance. My engine/head gasket are blown and I found out this is a common issue with this car. The airbags also dont recognize when there are passengers in the car. I started my car up one morning in September and all of my lights started flashing. I immediately turned it off and towed it to my mechanic to find out that it pretty much has everything wrong with it. My car is barely above 80k.

We have had problems with the air bags since the car was new. The srs light would come on for a couple months then go off. It says it has a problem with the passenger presence module. Never had a recall but the dealer said that when we took it in for an oil change they updated the firmware on the air bag system. It never did work, it would sometimes work then not work. I took it back a few weeks ago and told them it still isn't right and I said since it is a safety issue they should cover it. They told me that since ohio doesn't have auto inspections that they are not responsibile for taking care of it and I was looking at over 1000 to repair. That pissed me off so I took my car and left. I am taking it to a independent garage. I have had lots of problems eith this car and only have 42000 on it now. My last gm, next will be Toyota/.

Drivers airbag light stays on - immobilisation light stays on, car won't start. Both of these issues were addressed by TSB and complaints.

Passenger airbag does not always activate. The light indicating that the passenger airbag has been activated does not always turn on when the seat is in use. It doesn't matter if the car is moving or stationary. It also doesn't matter who is sitting in the seat, meaning it could work for the person one day and not the next. .

My car was in motion going approximately 45-50 mph when it hit a stationary vehicle on the highway. I was able to hit my brakes but still hit the car in almost full force, head on. Both my car and the car I hit are totaled, and I was taken by ambulance to the hosputal after, but my airbags did not go off.

There was a recall on the airbags as being unsafe. I contacted my dealer and asked for them to return my call so I could determine a solution to the unsafe situation. They have not contacted me back in any fashion.

General motors never notified me of a recall on my 2015 Buick Encore in sept 2016. I found out about the recall by reading it in the newspaper. It involved the air bag. I called my local dealer and they made the repair. I called gm and asked why they didn't notify me. They had no good answer as to why. One of the people I talked to said the reason was because the recall was before I purchased the car ( I bought the car in Feb 2015) this makes no sense. My local dealer told me the recall was made on 9sep 2016. The Buick web site had another person asking a question about this recall and stated they never received a recall notice. The answer given was call your Buick dealer. Air bag recalls are very serious and I feel that gm should be the one to notify ever one.
