Can I Replace the Car if the Engine of Buick Envision Has Cylinder Scoring?
2 Answers
If the engine of Buick Envision has cylinder scoring, you cannot replace the car. It is recommended to first go to a 4S store for inspection to determine whether the cylinder scoring is caused by quality issues. If it is due to quality problems and the vehicle is still under warranty, you can negotiate with the manufacturer to claim compensation for the engine, but not for a replacement car. The Buick Envision is a new-generation strategic model of General Motors globally, with its exterior design inheriting the essence of the ENVISION concept car. It is positioned as a mid-size SUV. In terms of body dimensions, the Buick Envision has a length, width, and height of 4981mm, 1953mm, and 1727mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2863mm.
The issue of cylinder scuffing in the Buick Envision's engine is quite severe. When the engine cylinder block is worn, it can lead to insufficient power and even stalling. I've driven a similar car before, and encountering such a malfunction requires immediate stopping for inspection. Continuing to drive could result in the engine being completely ruined.
As for whether a full vehicle replacement is possible, it depends on whether the car is still under warranty. If it's a new car within the three-guarantee period (typically 2 years or 50,000 kilometers), and the same fault has been repaired twice without resolution, you can negotiate with the Buick 4S dealership for a new car replacement. However, usually, only repairs or a complete engine replacement are offered, with costs ranging from several thousand to over ten thousand.
During regular maintenance, pay extra attention to the quality of the engine oil and the water temperature. Avoid letting the engine overheat, as this can easily lead to cylinder scuffing. If you notice abnormal noises or smoke, get it checked immediately—safety first.
