BUICK ENCORE 2013 Engine Report #10573306
BUICK ENCORE 2013 car safety problem was reported on Jan 09, 2014.BUICK ENCORE 2013, manufactured by General Motors LLC had a problem with ENGINE . I LIVE IN MINNESOTA. ON A -30 DEGREE DAY IN JANUARY I DROVE TO WORK (30 MILES ONE WAY). WHEN I LEFT FOR LUNCH I DROVE ABOUT A QUARTER MILE AND STARTED SMELLING A BURNING SMELL SIMILAR TO WHEN FOLLOWING A VEHICLE THAT IS BURNING OIL. MY CAR WAS NEW SO I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS ME. I WENT ABOUT 2 MILES AND STOPPED FOR A STOP LIGHT AT WHICH POINT MY ENGINE STARTED TO SPUTTER. I PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE. I MANAGED TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC AND WITH BLACK SMOKE COMING OUT OF THE TAILPIPE, THE CAR DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND STRANGELY IT WAS THE SECOND ENCORE THAT DAY WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. AFTER SITTING IN THE WARM GARAGE OVER NIGHT, THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. THE DIAGNOSTICS SHOWED NOTHING. I PICKED THE CAR UP AFTER A FEW DAYS AND IT WAS FINE FOR TWO WEEKS. THEN ON ANOTHER BITTERLY COLD DAY, IT HAPPENED AGAIN. THE CAR STARTED TO SMELL, BLEW BLACK SMOKE AND DIED. AGAIN IT WAS TOWED. AT THAT POINT A GM ENGINEER OUT OF MINNEAPOLIS CAME UP TO ASSESS MY CAR AS WELL AS SOME OTHERS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME PARTS WERE REPLACED INCLUDING THE THROTTLE BODY SENSOR AND SOME AIR INTAKE PARTS. IT APPEARS AS THOUGH IT IS NOT UNCOMMON IN COLDER CLIMATES. I HAVE BEEN ON THE BUICK FORUMS AND HAVE FOUND OTHER INCIDENCES DOCUMENTED. THE PROBLEM IS THAT THE REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE THE SAME PARTS THAT FAILED BEFORE SO THIS IS A PATCH NOT A FIX. NEXT WINTER THIS WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT IS AWFUL TO HAVE A NEW CAR THAT I CAN'T TRUST. I'M NERVOUS EVERY TIME I DRIVE IT WHEN IT'S REALLY COLD. NEXT TIME IT COULD DIE WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC ON AN INTERSTATE OR I COULD BE STRANDED SOMEWHERE IN DANGEROUSLY COLD TEMPERATURES. *TR.0 person(s) were injured. 0 person(s) died.Mileage was 16500 miles. Vehicle Identification Number (VIN):KL4CJASB6DB. Buick Encore 2013 problem was reported in PINE RIVER, MN. Vehicle was not using ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. Vehicle was not using Cruise Control.

Buick Encore 2013 Reviews
Check your back springs. Was getting an oil change and while up in the air discovered both rear springs were broken. Cost to replace, $1000.00. Having trouble with gase gauge and driver's side heated seat. Wanting to know how to fix that a how do i fix fual guage problem of my buick allure 1992 buick regal stall andhesitat when applying gas in between changing gears Have a 2000 Buick Century Custom with only 48000 miles, after start up, car would not move in any gear, but I was able to move it by racing engine, rear brakes can be heard dragging, no warning lights on dash. Car has been driven past week during On my 2010 Buick Lacrosse - the tire pressure monitoring readout is reading opposite for the front and back tires. As well, it appears that the left and right side tires are reversed in their readout. Just wonder if anyone else has had this proble my century when in driving surges and hesitates real bad. on freeway other drivers are honking at me. i think it may not be shifting properly Does the 2001 Buick LeSabre have frontal airbags including on passenger side? Same erratic problem with our 2011 Buick Regal Turbo. My 89 buick riviera has trouble cold starting but the engine will turn on and will start on first crank everytime after. Its the first start and in the a.m. it takes longer. Is it a fuel problem or electrical? A few minutes after parking 2011 Buick Regal Turbo in garage there is a strong gas smell. Never notice this with any other car. What's going on? where is the on and off switch for the dome light on a 1996 buick le sabre
ABS light comes on while driving and you can feel the brakes pulsing. Sometimes at a stop light the ABS sets itself and you have to force the car to move. Then it lets go and you can proceed. Had 2 new sensor installed, and it did not st
