I filed and submitted my paragraph yesterday and have not heard a word. My son was in the back seat when it happened and he is extremely traumatized in getting back into a vehicle. My car was purchased in 2023 and it is a 2024 and is non drivable due to the engine explosion while driving in 14 degree weather on a two lane high way with my 6 and 7 year old in the back seat. My engine exploded and I no longer have my brand new car I was once so happy about. I hope this is reviewed and someone takes this seriously. I didnt have my brand new car for even 2 years and now I am just out of an option. My car is at the dealer ship and im praying I get good will out of this. I cpuld have been hit on the high way, traffic on coming while I had to merge off the highway as lastly as I could when I felt the explosion.

Engine began smoking on freeway while driving in rural gap between metro cities. Then a sound like driving over a 2 liter bottle occurred. After I pulled over, there was smoke coming out the coolant reservoir. The coolant reservoir was empty! It's using 1/3 gallon prediluted daily. Last summer the air conditioning compressor failed while driving 75mph in a rural gap between metro cities. I was in a rental for 2 months before the backordered part arrived. Please investigate all aspects of the cooling system? Vehicle has 10k miles.

How to use these: a complaint is one owner’s report, filed voluntarily and published unverified. Patterns matter more than any single story. If several owners describe the same failure at similar mileage, put that system at the top of your pre-purchase inspection list. Back to the full 2024 Buick Envista verdict →
