2019 Buick Envision Brake Problems
As should hopefully be obvious to any driver, the brakes are an extremely important part of a vehicle and its ability to be driven safely.
Brakes that do not work properly are a serious safety hazard for both the driver, the occupants of the vehicle, and for others on the road.
Owners of the 2019 Buick Envision described limited brake functionality, brake failure, and their brakes not applying when pressed.
Any of these problems could cause a serious accident to occur and should be taken seriously by the vehicle owner with a trip to the mechanic.
2019 Buick Envision Forward Collision Avoidance System Problems
A vehicle’s forward collision avoidance system functions to detect obstacles or other vehicles in front of the vehicle with the system.
Once it detects something, the vehicle will apply the brakes if the vehicle is too close to the obstacle.
However, these systems can sometimes malfunction and detect obstacles that are not actually there.
When this happens, the automatic emergency brakes can apply. This sudden activation can frighten the driver or others on the road, as it often happens suddenly and unexpectedly.
Drivers who have noticed their forward collision avoidance system acting odd should drive with caution and potentially take the vehicle to be inspected.
Complaints from Envision Drivers
“While driving the vehicle, the service “Brake assist” light came on. I put my foot on the brake and had no brakes, then had limited brakes when slowly pumping then pedal went to the floor. That warning went off and the malfunction indicator lamp came on.”
“Brakes just stop working. They go to the floor and its like your pushing on a rock trying to get the car to stop! very scary!! Hope this help save lives!!! Please be careful, there is no brake warning light that comes on.”
“While driving at various speeds, my vehicle abruptly stopped without driver input. The brake assist warning light was illuminated. The message “Brake Assist Failure – Drive with Caution” was displayed.
The vehicle was taken to the local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and referred the contact to the local dealer.”
How the Lemon Law Can Help with Your Envision Issues
Lemon laws are designed to protect consumers who purchase or lease defective vehicles, commonly referred to as “lemons.”
It applies to new and, in some states, used vehicles that have issues affecting their safety, value, or usability.
These laws vary by state in the U.S., but generally, they require manufacturers to either repair the defect within a reasonable number of attempts or provide a replacement or refund if the vehicle cannot be adequately fixed.
Under the lemon law, a vehicle is typically considered a lemon if it has a substantial defect that occurs within a certain time frame or mileage limit after purchase.
The defect must significantly impair the vehicle’s use, safety, or value, and must persist after a reasonable number of repair attempts by the manufacturer or its authorized dealers.
What constitutes a “reasonable” number of attempts can vary, but it usually means two to four unsuccessful repairs for the same issue or 30 or more total days out of use due to service.
If a vehicle meets these criteria, the consumer is entitled to a remedy because their vehicle is a lemon. The manufacturer is usually required to either replace the vehicle with a comparable one or refund the purchase price, including taxes and fees.
In some states, the law may also require the manufacturer to pay for the consumer’s attorney’s fees and costs related to the lemon law claim.
