While driving down the road to work on the expressway both my screens blacked out couldn’t see my speed and then came back on it did this multiples times on my 30 minute drive to work one way and multiple times on my 30 minute drive home. It’s done this for the last week. It’s very scary to know you can’t see your speed or don’t know if your car is suddenly going to shut off going down an expressway that people are going 75 mph and could hit me. It shows my vin is not part of the recall but is doing exactly what the recall is describing.

The horn doesn't work or when you lock the vehicle using the key fob the horn doesn't blow then either notifying you that the vehicle is secured and locked. My vehicle is less than a year old with this defect and this poses as a safety hazard when driving to alert other drivers or prevent an accident.

If you google search ‘Buick Envista Air Conditioner’ you’ll find multiple forums where a number of 2024 Envista owners are having the exact same issue and like me experiencing no resolve with the dealerships. I’m requesting the NHTSA consider a recall on this vehicle please! Driving children in extreme heat is NOT SAFE.

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.

2024 Buick Envista: My driver side mirror vibrates when driving above 50-55 mph. The housing itself does not vibrate or shake. My passenger side mirror does not vibrate. I can see the traffic behind me but the lights apear fuzzy when when it’s dark outside. I had it at the dealership today (1/8/2024) and was told they drove another Envista and it exhibited the same issue. However, the said they could not fix as there is no fix for it. I have reached out to Buick via X (Twitter) and they kept referring me back to the dealership as there is no recall at this time. I feel that this is a safety issue for me driving, especially if it gets worse. I would like for Buick to acknowledge the problem and fix my mirror.
