There are 1 owner-reported brakes complaints for the 2023 Buick Encore GXin NHTSA's database. These are unverified consumer reports and may not reflect confirmed defects.
Our new 2023 Buick ENCORE GX's brakes continually GRAB whether we are approaching a slowed vehicle in front of us or not. Also, beginning yesterday, the brake pedal that I step on to start the vehicle was totally locked up and I was unable to start the car for awhile. Then, this issue went away and I could start the vehicle. More so, the constant grabbing of the brakes is dangerous. There is no rhyme or reason with this dangerous problem. The Buick dealer in Redlands says they are aware of the touchy brakes but offer no resolve. Can you help us? Thanks
