Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

My 2024 Buick Envista experienced catastrophic engine failure at 42,000 miles, requiring an engine replacement on Feb 11, 2026, after a rod failed and caused severe internal damage. Around 50,000 miles, the vehicle began stalling or losing acceleration when coming to a stop, with the check engine light. I have also experienced “Service Power Steering” and “Service Theft Deterrent” warnings and an incident involving the steering wheel locking. Restarting the vehicle several times the vehicle resets it self and works These problems create serious safety risks, including losing acceleration in traffic, being unable to maneuver safely, and potentially losing steering control. The vehicle has been taken to a dealership multiple times, but the intermittent issues have not been reproduced or conclusively diagnosed. The dealership initially mentioned battery corrosion and later a weak battery. General Motors has been notified of the situation.
