What is the ELECTRICAL issue with this car that keeps breaking the starter? Buick says it's normal for cars to suck. Car will not start, battery is not dead - radio and lights come on.

#2014 BUICK ENCORE INTERIOR UPDATE#

Update from : Here we are less than a year later, and low and behold I am dealing WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE detailed above. This is the first, and will be the last BUICK I will EVER own. The Buick Encore has a FUNDAMENTAL problem.a problem that is at it's CORE and I can only conclude that Buick owners are used to this as the dealership seems to think this is perfectly normal. I have NEVER had ANY issues with any of my previous cars before 75,000-80,000 miles and even then they are minor wear and tear issues. I have owned 6 cars previous to this one (this is my first BUICK) and I drive them for 4-5 years at which point they have 110,000-120,000 miles on them. They practically tell me that it is NORMAL for a BUICK to SUCK from day one. Well.if the computer that diagnoses itself is broken then how can you know for sure that it can tell you what is wrong? They can't and won't answer this question. The dealership just keeps telling me that it's normal wear and tear and there is nothing wrong with the computer if there's not a code.

I have NEVER had so many problems with a car from 2,000 to 50,000 miles. I insisted again that they check the computer (PCM, ECM, ECU.whatever they call it) because there is an UNDERLYING ISSUE with this car. Took it to another dealer (the original one I bought it from) and they said it was the a/c pressure switch and it's not covered under my powertrain or the extended warranty (which I DID have to use as soon as my warranty went out.JUST like I predicted) - they told me this would cost $400. Two days after I picked it up the check engine light came back on and it was idling rough again. They had the car for two weeks because every time they addressed one issue another one popped up. The dealer replaced the pcv valve, the battery (it had a bad cell) and the starter. Right before the tow truck showed up it started. It would click and the check engine light would show but it wouldn't turn over. During the 45 minutes that I waited for the tow truck I tried to start it over and over.

I stopped at Auto Zone to pull the code and it showed p0171, p0106, and p1101. Then, at around 52,250 miles (200 miles after my warranty went out) my car started idling rough upon acceleration from a stop and acting like it would die, then my check engine light came on. My tire pressure sensors were reversed, and after having 3 flat tires Discount Tire discovered the issue and corrected it.

During that time I have had several things go wrong: driver rear window broke, ABS light comes on and off randomly and I can feel it stop working.then it will just start working again. I've now had the car a little over a year and a half. I had 7,000 miles on the car at that time. The dealer called Buick and was able to get me an extended warranty on all electrical and steering components, because I INSISTED and told them that this car was going to break as soon as the warranty went out. I wasn't satisfied because I still believe that there is an electrical issue with this car and everyone pretends like it's normal. I insisted that there was an underlying ELECTRICAL ISSUE with this car and asked them to check the computer and electrical systems.

They couldn't find anything wrong and they said it was normal for the ignition to get hot in this car - the dealer called Buick engineers and they were told by them that this was normal for this car. It was still happening so I took it to the dealer to have both issues checked. Since it was January, I wasn't sure if this was due to running the heater so I just paid attention to it and waited for March to come around. I also noticed that the ignition switch would get very hot to the touch after about 45 minutes of driving, and I could smell a burning smell. I called the dealership and they said to bring it in if it happens again (it has not happened again). About an hour later the key fob worked again and all of my presets were back to normal. The car started, but all of my presets were gone. A few weeks after I bought it I was unable to unlock the door using the key fob. I bought my 2014 Buick Encore in January 2015 - bought it new.
