What Owners Say
"The screen would freeze periodically. Buick dealer first said it was an APPLE problem! Lol! It's only happened a handful of times. Fixes itself after I shut car off and restart. Last scheduled service BUICK said they updated my software and seems to have made a difference"
Denis F., NY (2015 Buick Encore None 1.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The GPS froze and when that happened it also effected the passenger air bag with the indicator now read off, and the radio stopped working"
Anonymous, GA (2015 Buick Encore None 1.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)"already filled this out"
Anonymous, IL (2015 Buick Encore None 1.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)"The problem was that infotainment system display screen would be blank and not turn on at all. It began the first winter after I bought the car in 2018 August. I thought it was a cold weather problem but it has done it when temperatures were warmer also. The professional at the dealership claims it is a bad tip in the infotainment system. They are unable to fix the problem and seemed reluctant to try."
Anonymous, MI (2015 Buick Encore None 1.4-L 4 Cyl turbo)"Sometimes the navigation system simply won't work. To fix it I just turn the car off and back on again"
