Vehicle has stalled when moving slowly and making a turn or slight turn. In all cases, the engine shuts off, all displays (instrument cluster and infotainment display) go black, and power accessories such as windows, radio, ac are all off. No warnings or service lights have appeared in the instrument cluster. July 4, 2026, morning – Vehicle stalled entering an alley, moving slowly and turning. This occurrence did not involve stopping previously to the stall as the next two did. In this instance the engine started again on its own and power came back on, though ac settings were changed. July 4, 2026, afternoon – Vehicle stalled after stopping for cross traffic in a roundabout and then moving to enter the roundabout. It was necessary to completely stop the vehicle in traffic order to restart it (depressing brake pedal and pushing the start button). August 8, 2026, morning - Vehicle stalled after stopping at a stop light and then moving to enter the intersection and turning. It was necessary to completely stop the vehicle in traffic order to restart it (depressing brake pedal and pushing the start button). We have taken the vehicle to two different GM Service Centers to diagnose and resolve the issue. In both cases the service centers were unable to determine the cause, being unable to duplicate the situation. I enclose the service reports for both - Hallady Motors, Cheyenne, Wy 7/10/20236, and Tyrrell Chevrolet, Cheynne, WY 8/17/2026.

The data screen for navigation has gone blank several times. A few times previously but 3 times in the past 2 days. The speedometer is viable but not the radio or navigation. Adaptive cruise control has occasionally alerted that it is not available & shuts off on its own. An alert yesterday stated power steering needs to be serviced but nothing is wrong. The car has turned off as I started to pull out into traffic & turned back on its self 3 times today. One time in the morning on my way to the gym at a stop light when it turned green when I went to proceed the car turned off and turn back on its self, leaving the gym pulling out of the parking lot pulling out into traffic it turned off & back on by itself & this evening after stoping at a store I stopped at the exit & when I went to pull out in traffic the car turned off & back on again by itself. Also the delay wipers do not come on themselves.

On January 15, 2025, my front panel went completely blank (black screen) moments after driving off a parking lot. I pulled over, turned the car off to try to reset it, but didn’t work. Tried this 3-4 different times in different locations. I also had no exterior lights working. My main lights, brake and headlights were not functioning. This was very stressful and luckily it was still daylight, so I returned home immediately. I took a video of this incident for my records. Next day, the panel is working properly.

The entire digital display will go black for several seconds to a few minutes while driving. This seems to occur 3-4 times in a row and then will not happen again for days to weeksto months apart. It has happened on 5 separate occasions spanning 6 months. The dealership claims they “cannot reproduce the issue” and that they do not know what is wrong. This has been reported numerous times online for this make/model/year. This is a MAJOR safety hazard.

On Friday, September 13, 2024, without warning, the instrument panel that shows the speed of the car (and left and right turn signals), turned off and went black (blank), while I was driving my brand new Buick, Envista. It was less than three months old at the time. The car’s mileage was at about 1,000 miles. I did not know what speed my car was going, other than by watching cars around me. I did not know if the car’s turn signals were working. I did not know if the car’s brake lights were working. I did not know if traffic behind me would know if I was coming to a stop or planning a turn. VERY SCARY!!!! I was so worried about a possible traffic accident occurring if none of the car’s turn signals and/or brake signals weren’t working. My wife was so scared she didn’t want to ride in the car any more! I called onstar and they ran a diagnostic check of the car, while the screen was black, but they found nothing wrong. I printed the onstar report and brought it to the dealer. I drove the car to the dealer on Monday, Sept 16 so they could diagnose the problem. They could not duplicate the instance as shown on their ticket number, BUCS508706. Buick customer service assigned a case number and advised driving the car to the dealer immediately should this black/Blank screen happen again so they can see the problem while the car is still running.
