2014 Buick Encore consumer reviews

Car is a lemon. Constantly something wrong with it. Engine bad and needs replaced at 140000 miles.since I bought the car the compressor for the heater and air has been replaced,the purge valve has been replaced, fuel injection system problems, and engine problems.

I bought 2014 Premium AWD used w, 30k miles and odometer now reads 179k. The car has been very reliable , I have replaced the water pump, timing belt, and done brakes and oil changes, I also fixed the manifold/valve cover issue. These were all normal Repairs . I am pretty good with maintenance, so that is key w this car. If you just drive it, don’t change oil or fluids then like any car you will have problems . This one has been very good .

I bought a 2015 Encore in 2019 used. It has had catalytic converter issues from the beginning with the converter being replaced 3 times. The turbo has been replaced 3 times, valve covers replaced twice, spark plugs replaced 4 times, O2 sensors replaced & still has check engine light with code for emissions issues. I have replaced the air conditioning compressor & it's now in the shop to replace thermostat housing. This car has been in the shop now 13 times since May 2019 & I've spent thousands. Dealership doesn't care, AG's office is useless regarding lemon law, GM & Buick offer 10% discount on repairs only if Buick dealership repair at higher labor rates. This vehicle was paid for in 6 payments, but I am now disabled & cannot afford to trade it in or continue to make repairs. It's a great styled vehicle, fun to drive, compact in size while still offering plenty of cargo space & comfort. Unfortunately, it's mechanical issues are unending, expensive to fix, & completely turned me off the Buick brand.

My son named this as my roller skate and I loved both the name and the vehicle. I would NOT recommend this vehicle. I have spent thousands on repairs. It’s back in the shop now. I have replaced the A/C compressor, radiator coolant reservoir and numerous other parts. If you want a vehicle that stays in the shop and that you will spend lots on repairs then this is the vehicle for you. As much as I enjoy the interior comfort I am going to get rid of it.

Great little SUV. Gas mileage is a plus. Nice interior and features. Nice design. Reliable vehicle. This is our 18 year old’s car and we feel safe sending him out in it.

This SUV is a great vehicle great on gas. We all love the comfortable ride this SUV is great driving through the snow. Really like the all wheel drive feature.

This car is so comfortable and easy to drive. I feel so safe with all the excellent features. This was my first time buying a small SUV and now that is all o will ever own!

Without repairs I cant give it a rating . I told them it would be a miracle if I made it home in this xxx.

I owned a Buick Lucerne before this purchase. I will always own a Buick for the rest of my life. Low maintenance, high dependability & comfort! I have wanted an Encode from the minute they came on the market! This one has EVERYTHING! LOVING the heated seats & steering wheel right now! I feel VERY spoiled!

This car has all the safety features I need, but is also so nice inside, with leather seats, and outside with a metallic brown. In addition, a 2014 model, it has only 16000 miles.
