I am reporting a serious safety issue with my 2023 Buick Encore GX that repeatedly shuts off while driving and doesnât restart when auto stop is on, it leaves me stranded in traffic. The vehicle has been in the shop multiple times since February 13, and the issue has not been resolved. A service advisor has stated he is not comfortable putting me back in the vehicle and wants to help get me out of this car. I am requesting escalation, a case number, and immediate resolution. After having the oil changed in February, the check engine light came on soon after. Car had left me stranded prior to the battery being replaced. After 4 times in the same shop, they say a bad ground connection may now be the problem, however they also said they recharged the battery the visit prior.

The contact owns a 2023 Buick Encore GX. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, the vehicle bounced to the left and the right, and the steering wheel pulled to the left or the right, making it difficult to steer the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired; however, after a test drive, the dealer informed the contact that the vehicle operated as intended. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 13,978.

BUICK ENCORE GX 2023 STEERING

When starting from a traffic light after the green light, the car made mechanical noises and would not accelerate above approximately 25 mph.  It seemed obvious at the time that the transmission had failed, which was later confirmed after being towed to the dealership.  There were no warning lamps or messages displayed; however, during the previous days, there were a few instances when the transmission "shifted" hard (this seemed odd considering it is a CVT transmission).
