Too many problems

With less than 50,000 miles, the Turbo Charger cracked and had to be replaced. Now, with a little more than 50,000 miles, the engine oil cooler had to be replaced. I had smoke coming up from under the hood. Both problems were very expensive repairs. When I contacted Buick about the Turbo Charger, they did nothing to refund the money.

Cracked Turbo Charger

My Buick Encore only had 45,000 miles yet the turbo charger cracked in 2 places. Based on everything I was told and researched, the turbo charger should last to 150,000 miles, especially if service is maintained, which I have. I contacted the GM CEO, Mary Barra, to try to get reimbursed for the faulty part, providing them with all the service records and pictures of the cracked turbo charger, but they absolutely refused. I will not buy another Buick, nor would I recommend it, I want a company that stands behind their products and GM does not.

Underpowered poorly made!

Very unhappy with performance and tight interior, should have tested on highway, car can’t get out of its own way! Do not buy it. Several expensive break downs, Finish does not standup to New England weather, All wheel drive does not perform well in snow. Local brand dealership treat customers poorly!

Cracked Turbo Charger

With only 45,000 miles on my car, the turbo charger cracked. Turbo chargers are supposed to last for 100,000 - 150,000 miles, not crack at 45,000 miles. I contacted the GM CEO asking to be reimbursed, including photos of the cracked turbo charger, but she refused. GM doesn't stand behind their products. I will NOT be buying another GM vehicle.

Fun little suv but quality is poor

Bought used (mistake 1) with 64k miles ( mistake 2) about 1.5 yrs ago. Replaced oil cooler housing (leak), turbo (cracked housing), coolant fan, battery, catalytic converter, and internal filter w less than 72k miles. Nothing but a money pit of repairs.

Encore review

Never had any problems until 20k miles after warranty ran out. Now it’s been down 3 month and still trying to figure out what’s wrong. Great cars but I would recommend trading for a new one before you hit the 100k mark!!

I like this vehicle a lot.

Overall I think it's a good car. It does perform a lot better since I have service done on it by Champs...Vehicle had some serious engine trouble that caused it to run very sluggish. Through champs I found out that there was a foreign object in the engine. Once this was removed, car ran like a charm. The foreign object remains a mystery because I only had repair done at the dealership...

2014 Bucik Encore

I love my Buick Encore. I like the convenience of an SUV but don't need a large wagon. My Encore has just enough trunk space, a modest but comfortable back seat and a very nice dashboard. I am very happy with my Buick Encore. The gas mileage is very good.

Happy, happy, happy

Suits my needs to a tee, although a little out of my pay grade. The payments are worth the peace of mind I have with the warranty. Have used it more than once and very satisfied overall.

Love it! Favorite car of all that I've had in the past.

I love this car, very comfortable for driving for an extended period of time. Wish the driver's head rest didn't lean forward so much. When putting the back seats down to enlarge the "trunk", the headrests hit the back of the front seats, so they don't go down perfectly flat.

2014 Buick Encore

Love my car! One of my favorites! Have 3 complaints with the interior. Not enough leg room for the backseat passengers & terrible design for putting the backseats down, the headrests are hitting the back of the front seats, have to pull drivers seat up too far. The trunk area of the vehicle is very small, hard to put much of anything back there.
