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.

Owner report 11661382 · 2025-05-16 (May 16, 2025)

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.

I bought my car in January with 7 miles on it. Back in February I tried to get back into my car and my car would not unlock from the remote or from my Buick app. The car was not responding. I had to wait 20 mins and remove the battery 3 times from the remote for it to work. Then I cannot connect my phone or my car does not respond to me pressing any buttons on my steering wheel.

Vehicle: 2025 Buick Envista Incident Date: July 19, 2025 I purchased a brand-new 2025 Buick Envista in June, 2025 and owned it for just over a month when the brakes suddenly and completely failed while I was driving on the highway. As I exited the ramp and attempted to slow down, the brake pedal went soft and unresponsive. I had no ability to stop my vehicle, and in a moment of panic, I swerved into a curb to avoid hitting other cars or pedestrians. This caused damage to my rim and tire, but thankfully I avoided a major crash or injury. I had…

On August 13, 2025, I purchased the 2025 Buick Envista from DeMontrond in Houston, Texas, for $31,000.00, with a down payment of $12,000. The car is a gift to my grandson who recently graduated from college and starting a job at the Emory University Hospital. On September 6, 2025, the car had to be taken to be repaired due to a “fuel filler pipe leaking”. I didn’t expect that a brand-new car would need to be repaired for something that seems to be dangerous. The fuel filler pipe is crucial for the safe and efficient transfer of fuel to the vehi…

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.

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.

On August 13, 2025, I purchased the 2025 Buick Envista from DeMontrond in Houston, Texas, for $31,000.00, with a down payment of $12,000.

On September 6, 2025, the car had to be taken to be repaired due to a “fuel filler pipe leaking”.

Emerging complaint spikes

Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.

This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.

No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.

Equal-age model-year comparison

Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.

No selected model years have a complete observation window. Choose an eligible year or a shorter window.

Incident date is preferred when valid and no later than filing; otherwise filing date is used. Model year approximates age. Equal observation time does not adjust for sales, distance driven or reporting delays. One complaint linked to multiple model years can appear in each cohort.
