Best and Worst Buick Envision Years: What the NHTSA Data Shows

Across the 7 Buick Envision model years from 2016 to 2022 that have NHTSA data, the typical year has about 23 owner complaints on file. These are the extremes:

Fewest owner complaints

  • 2020 — 11 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2018 — 14 complaints, 0 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2016 — 19 complaints, 5 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Most owner complaints

  • 2017 — 81 complaints, 4 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2022 — 26 complaints, 1 recall campaign, 5★ NHTSA
  • 2021 — 23 complaints, 2 recall campaigns, 5★ NHTSA

Complaint counts are unverified owner reports to NHTSA and rise with how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road, so treat them as a pointer for what to inspect, not a reliability score. Model years after 2022 are left out because they have had little time to accumulate reports. Always check a specific car by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
