On August 13, 2025, I purchased the 2025 Buick Envista from DeMontrond in Houston, Texas, for $31,000.00, with a down payment of $12,000. The car is a gift to my grandson who recently graduated from college and starting a job at the Emory University Hospital. On September 6, 2025, the car had to be taken to be repaired due to a “fuel filler pipe leaking”. I didn’t expect that a brand-new car would need to be repaired for something that seems to be dangerous. The fuel filler pipe is crucial for the safe and efficient transfer of fuel to the vehicle's tank. It connects the fuel cap to the fuel tank, ensuring that fuel flows properly without spills or leaks. A leaking fuel filler pipe can lead to fuel vapors escaping, which can be dangerous and illegal in most states. It can also cause issues with the vehicle's EVAP system, leading to diagnostic trouble codes related to fuel vapor leaks. I contacted General Motors Consumer Department and sent a letter to Mr. Mark Reuss, President of GM requesting that the vehicle be replaced or the money I paid be refunded. They refused to replace the vehicle or refund the money I had already paid. Through this letter, I am requesting your help to have GM recalled the vehicle and that I am provided with a brand-new and safe replacement or to refund me the money I already paid.

To the Vehicle Safety Complaint Division: I am filing a safety complaint regarding brake service performed on a 2025 Buick Envista (VIN: [XXX]) by Suburban Buick GMC of Troy, 1850 W Maple Rd, Troy, MI 48084, an authorized GM dealership. Safety Issue: The vehicle was brought in on XXX with brake pulsation at 20,689 miles. Suburban performed rotor resurfacing on all four rotors and certified the repair as complete and verified on XXX. On XXX — 13 days after Suburban certified the repair — Moran Buick GMC of Sterling Heights found the rear rotors causing the identical brake pulsation symptom. [XXX]'s service advisor determined the rear rotor was rubbing against another component and stated in his professional opinion that Suburban's prior service caused the condition. The corrective repair was processed as a GM warranty claim. Safety Concern: A certified brake repair on a 21,342-mile vehicle failed within days of service. The failure involved the braking system — a safety-critical component. The original service manager dismissed the customer's safety concern by stating failure would depend on "how you drive." Dealer: Suburban Buick GMC of Troy, Registration Number XXX, operated by Lithia Motors, Inc. (NYSE: LAD) Supporting Documentation: Two authorized GM dealer repair orders documenting the failed repair and corrective service are available upon request. I respectfully request confirmation of receipt of this complaint and assignment of a case or reference number. I am available to provide any additional documentation or information required to support this complaint. The complete documentary record, including both repair orders, the independent inspection findings, and the complete correspondence record with Lithia Motors corporate, is attached. Sincerely, [XXX] Authorized Representative for [XXX] [XXX] [XXX] Attachments: — [XXX] v. Lithia Motors Document Package (Exhibits INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

I was driving on a Chicago expressway with my family when the tire pressure light came on, within 3 mins and before we could safely pull over the tire shredded and eventually the entire middle part of the tire came off and we were thankful there was a lot of traffic so we had to slow our speed because the inner part of the tire came off and it rolled to the side of the expressway. This could have been catastrophic if another car on the expressway tried to avoid or hit the rubber part of the tire while they were driving. We had to backup an on ramp because there was no safer alternative. We were able to put on the spare and find a tire shop that was affordable to replace the tire.
