I would not recommend buying this car and I have read a lot of other people's issues with Encores and problems that should not occur and having to pay a lot of money out of pocket for them. I don't know a lot about cars but I do know that I had a used Oldsmobile Alero for 10 years that I took way less care of and never had a single engine issue. So basically because my lifters decided to crap out for no reason at 78,000 and that's not close enough to 70,000 I am stuck with those repair costs. I asked if my car only had 72,000 miles on it if that would have made a difference and they said yes. The powertran warranty is what covers that and since it only goes until 70,000 there is nothing that can be done and they cannot extend the warranty. I received follow up today and was informed there is nothing that can be done. I was also told by them that the lifters should not have gone out. I called Buick and opened a case to see if there was anything they could do. I had my dealership do the repairs and $1,000 later my car seems to be working properly again. My change oil light has never even come on. I also take in my car regularly for maintenance check and oil changes. My dealership said for how old my car is this should not have happened.
2013 buick encore crack#
I was told my lifters needed to be replaced and also that I had a crack in my front exhaust. I called my dealership and made an appointment. The engine light would also come one and off and the noise would decrease a bit when it was off. Last week my engine light turned on and shortly after that a repetitive almost clicking noise came from the engine when it was running and it would have issues accelerating and decelerating. I bought a brand new 2013 Buick Encore and never had any major problems with it until recently. It was still within warranty so the dealership replaced the radiator and some plastic tubing at no cost to me.I got it back when the temp was down in the single digits. The only problem I have had with the car was this past winter the heat didn't work.

I am considering trading it in, only because of the amount of miles I have on it. I am at just over 60,000 miles and I am still happy with my Encore.
Plenty of room for 2 people and with the back seats folded down there was plenty of cargo space. It was a little bit hard to pass other cars in the mountains of Pennsylvania but every other part of the trip the driving was great!
2013 buick encore Bluetooth#
Just got back from a 10 day 10 state trip driving through torrential rain (tropical storm Andrea) and the only complaints I have is the Bluetooth wouldn't always connect with my phone and sometimes the GPS wouldn't work.
I've been using it for my daily commute of 70 miles round trip.and am getting an average of 27.2 mpg.
