As an early division of General Motors, Buick was one of the first American automobile manufacturers to rise to prominence in 1899. Buick became an upscale luxury brand second only to Cadillac by the 1930s and remains today as one of the oldest brands and a founder of the automotive industry. Unfortunately, not all Buick models today live up to the brand’s prominent name. In fact, several Buick models have made their way to the top of the lemon list, including:
Buick Encore
Buick Encore GX
Buick LaCrosse
Buick Envision
Buick Regal
Buick Enclave
Buick Avenir
Today’s high-volume vehicle manufacturing processes, over-engineering, and failure on the part of manufacturers to produce reliable motor vehicles result in some car models rolling off the production lines with defects that send them back to dealerships for fruitless repair attempts over and over again.
Fortunately, California’s Lemon Law protects consumers, not only against the financial losses they face with a defective Buick but also from the risk of continuing to drive unsafe vehicles with serious defects.

DO YOU DRIVE A 2014+ BUICK VEHICLE?
Reported Buick lemon law issues include: Engine, Suspension, Transmission, Steering, Electrical System, Cooling System, and Air Bags. Hard gear-shifting, gasket leaks, and power window failures are also common recurring problems with the above Buick models.
If your Buick has been in and out of the repair shop and you still face repeated failures with any of the above systems, you may have a lemon. Fortunately, you don’t have to live with constant repair attempts or worries about driving an unsafe vehicle. California’s lemon law means you have rights. Under specific conditions, the manufacturer may have to buy back your Buick. If you can show that your Buick has defects that significantly impair its safety, use, and value, you may qualify for replacement or repurchase of the vehicle.
How Does California Law Define a Lemon?
When a vehicle still has significant recurring failures after a reasonable number of attempts at repair, California law defines it as a “lemon.” You may have rights under the Lemon Law under the following circumstances:
Your Buick’s defect still poses a safety hazard after two attempts at repair
If your Buick has spent more than 30 cumulative days in a repair shop for any defect even if it isn’t a safety hazard.
Does My Buick Qualify for a Buy-Back or Replacement Under the California Lemon Law?
If your car has undergone a reasonable number of repair attempts and still has a defect, it may qualify as a lemon and require the manufacturer to buy it back or replace it under the following conditions:
It’s still covered under the original warranty
The defects caused problems within the first 18,000 miles or 18 months of your ownership
The defect causes a safety issue, reduces the car’s value, or negatively impacts its use.
When you’ve invested money and time into a vehicle only to find that it spends more time in the repair shop than on the road or in your garage, you deserve compensation.
