The vehicle’s infotainment/display screen (center touchscreen system) malfunctions. The screen flickers, freezes, becomes unresponsive, and frequently fails to connect. The malfunction creates a safety concern because the screen controls critical functions such as navigation, rear-view camera display, Bluetooth/phone connectivity, and vehicle settings. When the screen freezes or flickers, I am unable to safely access navigation or hands-free phone features, causing distraction while driving and increasing the risk of an accident. The issue has occurred repeatedly during normal vehicle operation. There were no warning lamps prior to the malfunction. Symptoms include screen flickering, freezing, delayed response, and loss of connectivity. These symptoms began intermittently and have progressively become more frequent over time.

The infotainment system blacks out intermittently. The speakers will go out along with the infotainment. This has happened on several occasions I have pictures that are dated and time stamped. All the lights on the infotainment went out to include the odometer as I was operating the vehicle. I first thought the vehicle cut off then moments later the infotainment turns on and the speakers and odometer is working again. This has happened intermittently on multiple occasions. The vehicle has gone to the dealer 3 times but they are stating they can’t duplicate. So they can not fix it and issue is not resolved.

I have not yet taken it to be checked. I will soon. The rearview camera has gone out completely, it still beeps if I am too close to something. Sometimes the infotainment screen does like a crossover screen malfunction type of issue. This put myself and others at risk because I rely on the camera and although it beeps, I still would not be able to see what is behind me. There was nothing the warned or indicated there was an issue. This is a brand new vehicle so not even sure why this would have occurred on such a newer vehicle.

When driving my whole dashboard including the radio goes black. I brought the car in December 2024 and the first time it happened I thought I was tripping and said if it happened again I was going report it. Well yesterday it went black on me twice in one day two different times and that is scary because I was on the highway and didn’t know what was going on. This is a brand new car in it should not be doing this.

While driving the information system screen that shows the speedometer, fuel center, radio, and displays go completely black and stay off for 30 seconds. They will restart and come back on. It will then stay on and then continue to flash on and off throughout driving. This poses a risk because I am not able to see any speedometer, see anything such as the distance between vehicles that show for safety and also causes me to think that car is shutting off each time it happens. There was no warning lights that pop on or any indication that it is going to happen. It just randomly does. Once it comes back on and reconnects to my phone, it will also cut off the sound every few minutes with brief pauses. All of this has happened more than one time of driving. Turning the car on and off did not help. I do have a scheduled appointment to get it into a dealer service center soon but I did see that this has happened on the 2024 model and it is now happening on the newer model too.

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Envista. The contact stated that while driving approximately 50 MPH in snowy weather and attempting to clear the windshield, the windshield washer fluid failed to spray properly. The front crash assist indicator to verify that the system has activated failed to illuminate intermittently. The blind spot indicator failed to illuminate on the side mirrors while other vehicles were approaching within the expected distance. The blind spot indicator light only illuminated once the approaching vehicle was already beside the vehicle. The contact stated that the back over prevention camera failed to display the rear of the vehicle due to condensation. The vehicle had been taken to the dealer who flushed out the washer fluid for the windshield wiper due to ice forming in the fluid. The dealer was unable to determine the cause for the failure of the front crash assist indicator. The dealer implied that the system would only activate if the driver was operating the vehicle with one hand. The blind spot indicator had not been diagnosed. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failures and filed a case. The failure mileage was 3,000.

What component or system failed or malfunctioned, and is it available for inspection upon request? The instrument panel (or instrument cluster) is malfunctioning. The issue is intermittent, meaning the instrument panel blacks out unpredictably. Yes, it is available for inspection upon request. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? When the instrument panel blacks out, all critical information such as the speedometer, fuel gauge, radio communications, traffic safety alerts, and other essential displays are completely unavailable. It’s like driving without any reference, which puts everyone at risk because the driver is essentially "driving blind." Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? Yes, the issue is currently being investigated by the dealership. The problem mirrors the symptoms outlined in the A232424320 Intermittent Instrument Panel Blackout Safety Recall issued in November 2023. The dealer has been attempting to resolve the issue for three weeks with the vehicle, and they even provided a loaner vehicle (Buick Encore GX) that exhibits the same problem. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives, or others? The vehicle is currently being inspected by the Buick dealership where the vehicle was purchased (Shamaley Buick GMC OF EL PASO TX). Were there any warning lamps, messages, or other symptoms of the problem prior to the failure, and when did they first appear? The issue first appeared just days after purchasing the vehicle. There were no prior warnings or messages before the instrument panel began malfunctioning. In fact, the loaner vehicle provided to us has now been in use longer than our actual purchased vehicle, and it displays the same problem.
