Buick Envista check engine light comes on

Filed Oct 27, 2026 · Electrical, Engine · TX

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.

On December 3rd I contacted roberts-Robertson Chevrolet in Excelsior springs where I purchased my brand new 2024 buick envista. I told them my engine light is on, we scheduled service for 4 days later, the engine light shut off, i contacted them on the 13th telling them it is back on and now i am concerned if it is safe, while speaking to the representative will not share her name, until I am contacted, the service representative, I asked her yestersay at 1 pm cst over the phone if I was safe to be driving my kids to places with the engine light back on or should we be worried. She exact words stated your safe to keep driving, she said if anything. It might not start right away after driving and turning it off. But thats the most it will do. Not even two hours later, im driving my car and its 14 degrees, the car shakes, and I get an emergency shut off immediately nowessage on the screen. As soon as I got pulled over, the place it happened, all my oil just rapidly leaked out. I was told by my someone who works there to light a fire to my car so if the dealership doesnt stand behind it. At least id have an insurance claim. I clearly did not listen to that illegal advice. I am beyond upset. My kids are scared to death when it comes to getting back in the car. I had to pay 200 dollars to get it towed. And now im car less. It is our only car. I am stuck in a situation right before the holidays and I feel [XXX]. I feel complete dealership neglect when it comes to her reassuring my car was okay to drive when she didnt know what the safety risk was. My name is [XXX], I havent had the car for even two years. And its at 6 1 or 62 thousand miles. Im praying for good will or that they are able to fix this and allow me a rental car. I have been stressed to the max. I've spoke to 8005217300 the company who towed us and they told me some [XXX]. I just feel like this is a major safety and major concern issue. My car is garage parked. There was no sign leaks.

The DASHBOARD keeps changing while driving, and the dealer states they have fixed it. I have had 2 dashboards replaced since I purchased the car (1 year) and this unsafe while driving my GPS keeps changing while driving. This is VERY UNSAFE! The SUNROOF WILL NOT CLOSE, until the next day. It rains inside my car because it will not close, so I can not use my sunroof PERIOD. This is one of the reasons I purchased the car. NOW, my CHECK ENGINE LIGHT is on for EMISSIONS SYSTEM (IT IS CRITICAL THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF THIS PROMPTLY TO MAINTAIN SAFETY). The dealer held my car for 3 days, and now they state "they requested the part, but no one told them (from the manufacture) that the part is not available due to problems with the current part and they have to rebuild the part, and it's on back order". Now, I'm riding around with a check engine light on until Nobody knows when! I don't trust this dealer, who told me its okay to drive like this AND we will call you when the part comes in. They stated they fixed my dashboard and its still not fixed. They don't know when, they will have the part for my sunroof or my emissions issue, and my dashboard is still not working and I have to borrow someone car to travel because my GPS and Engine light is on. A brand new car and it has been in the shop (6 times) more than any car I have owned. I pay my car not on time and I keep my car serviced, but this not fair to me and I need help please.

Only had car since March and already had 2 issues. First, I had a check engine light in early May and took it to the shop and the problem was identified as a cracked fuel pipe. Had to wait almost 3 weeks for the park to finally get delivered to the dealership and was able to get fixed on 6/12/25. Then on 7/17/25 check engine light came on again. According to the Buick app, it was coming from my emission/evap system again. Took it the dealership on 7/21/25 and as of 7/27/25 it is still in the shop and they were unable to determine what is causing it. They have reached out to GMC which told them to do a ECU program reset which still didn’t rectify the issue. Already has been in the shop for a week now.
