2022 Buick Envision SUV FWD Safety Features

Here are the safety features that come as standard on the 2022 Buick Envision SUV FWD

Electronic Stability Control (ESC)

ESC is an advanced safety feature in vehicles designed to help drivers maintain control during challenging driving conditions. By continuously monitoring various factors such as steering angle, vehicle speed, and individual wheel speeds, ESC can detect and reduce the risk of skidding or loss of control. It achieves this by automatically applying brakes to specific wheels to stabilize the vehicle.

Standard
Forward Collision Warning (FCW)

Forward Collision Warning (FCW) is a safety feature in vehicles that helps prevent frontal collisions by alerting the driver of an imminent collision with a vehicle or obstacle ahead. Using sensors such as radar or cameras, FCW monitors the distance and speed of vehicles in front, and if it detects a potential collision, it provides visual and/or auditory warnings to prompt the driver to take evasive action.

Standard
Lane Departure Warning (LDW)

Lane Departure Warning (LDW) is a safety feature in vehicles that alerts drivers when their vehicle unintentionally drifts out of its lane without signaling. Utilizing cameras or sensors to monitor lane markings on the road, LDW detects when the vehicle crosses these lines and triggers visual, auditory, or haptic alerts to notify the driver of potential lane departure.

Complaint:
"on 10/12/22 i was stopped at a red light. i was the first person in line at the red light, right at the entrance to the nys thruway. when the light turned green, my car locked up and i was unable to proceed. people were honking at me but the car would not go out of park. some road construction workers ran over to the car to see if they could push it out of traffic. i kept trying to turn it off and restart it. finally, after many attempts it finally went into drive. the light was now red again, but the construction workers, held up oncoming traffic and told me to just go. i was on the same road as the the dealership where i leased it, so i called them, told them what happened and that i was on my way there. i had also received a message from buick at the same time, saying it detected an engine/transmission problem with my car. the dealership told me not to bring it in, but i took it there anyway. i had lost my husband a month earlier, so i had no one to call at home to come get me. they kept it for a week, and said they couldn't find anything wrong, so had me pick the car up. they also said that someone had been driving it everyday, checking it, but you can see from the incident report, that they drove it a total of 3 miles. also, on the report that they put that i had said the check engine light was on. that is not true. i never told them that."

Complaint:
"this is my 2nd complaint regarding this car. on, 11/5/22, i was making a left hand turn on a highway, and heard a humming sound, that was elevating like the sound of an airplane. at first i thought it was coming from the music that was playing. i turned it down and the noise was still there. the screen then went black and had red writing on it. i have to have one set of gasses to drive and another pair to see up close. my gps talks thru the screen and started talking, because i was turning, and i was unable to change glasses quickly enough to see what it said. i did report it to one of the owners of the dealership at the time, but received no answer back. when i went to have the oil changed recently and have the heated seat modules installed, i asked them to pull up the codes, to see if it would show what happened. the service guy told me that when that happened it was because the car had lost communication with the computer. he gave me a copy of the codes list, but i'm not sure if it is a complete list or not"
