2025 Buick Envista

Vehicle: 2025 Buick Envista Sport Touring Mileage: Under 5,082 miles Issue: Rear side window trim detachment I am reporting a rear window trim detachment that occurred after my 2025 Buick Envista Sport Touring went through a brushless automatic car wash. The driver-side rear window trim completely detached, and the passenger side is now partially detached. The detached piece was found inside the wash tunnel, confirming it came off during the wash. The trim is made of thin black metal and has sharp edges. The remaining trim is at risk of detaching during normal highway use, especially since I live near railroad crossings, and drive in Florida weather conditions including heavy rain, humidity, and heat. Automatic car washes operate at 1,000–1,200 psi, far exceeding any natural wind or rain conditions. This shows that the trim’s adhesive is not strong enough for routine car maintenance, even when used as intended. There was no warning in the owner’s manual advising against automatic car washes. Because the trim is in a blind spot, I cannot monitor it while driving. The dealership told me to retain the loose trim until replacement parts arrive, but that is unrealistic and unsafe. If the trim detaches at highway speed, it could become road debris, potentially hitting another vehicle or causing an accident. I have already reported this issue to the manufacturer, and it is being processed as a warranty repair. However, I was instructed to ensure the loose trim doesn’t fall off, as the dealership is required to return it to Buick. This expectation places unreasonable responsibility on the driver, despite the fact that the part is already failing under normal conditions. This is not cosmetic — it is a safety issue caused by insufficient adhesive or trim design. I respectfully request NHTSA investigate whether this defect warrants a Technical Service Bulletin or recall.

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.

Vehicle Make/Model/Year: 2025 Buick Avenir Component/System Involved: Infotainment Center & Display Gauge Cluster The infotainment center and digital display gauge cluster on my 2025 Buick Avenir intermittently black out either while driving or during vehicle startup. This failure causes both screens to go completely dark and remain unresponsive for several seconds before turning back on. Yes, my vehicle is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others are put at risk when this occurs. When both screens black out, I am unable to view critical vehicle information such as speed, fuel level, and mileage, which could lead to unsafe driving conditions—especially in high-traffic areas or at high speeds. The issue has been reproduced on multiple occasions. I have taken the vehicle to Jim Ellis Buick GMC of Atlanta for service on two separate occasions for this same issue. The dealership confirmed the problem and attempted to resolve it by reprogramming the radio. However, the issue persists. The vehicle has been inspected and serviced by the dealer but has not been inspected by the manufacturer, police, or insurance representatives to my knowledge. There were no warning lamps, error messages, or noticeable symptoms leading up to the blackout. The problem first appeared shortly after I purchased the 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.

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Envista. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed downhill, the vehicle started to shake abnormally. The contact stated that the check engine warning light was illuminated. The local dealer was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The contact stated that the vehicle remained with the local dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 400.

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.

I purchased the vehicle on 12/21/24, and I now have a check engine light with a code related to "The Engine and Transmission System is not performing as expected. An issue has been detected in the Fuel Management System used to maintain, control, and monitor fuel consumption." I am not sure if my safety is at risk as the service center cannot currently schedule a service appointment to confirm the issue.

The contact owns a 2025 Buick Envista. The contact stated that while driving at unknown speeds, the speedometer gauge went blank. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shut off. The speedometer started flashing, and the MPH changed. The contact stated that 71 MPH was displayed on the speedometer and continued to flash and increase. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer, where the system was upgraded. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to another local dealer, Ferguson Buick GMC (1601 N Elm Pl., Broken Arrow, OK 74012); where it was determined that a factory reset was needed. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure persisted. The dealer suggested that the vehicle be taken to another location. While driving at an undisclosed speed, the speedometer became inoperable for five minutes. The instrument panel was blank. The manufacturer was contacted, and opened a case, but no additional assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 250.

When driving car the speedometer goes blank no way to tell how fast you are going. Police has pulled over for speeding over 15 miles the speed limit but there is no way to tell how fast you are going. Car screen where speedometer is appears as if the car was parker as it is turning off several times when the car is being driven. It has been to the shop once for a software update second time in the shop for a factory reset third time in the shop for nearly 25 days and noone tested the car to see if it was working properly. Car is having so many safety issues at this time. The dealership kicked the car out of the shop due to the demands of other cars that were sold from their dealership.
