  In 2018, my Buick Encore's air conditioning stopped working at 55,000 miles. It cost me $200 to have the issue diagnosed at a GM service center, and now I'm looking at a $750 repair bill for a leaky condenser. After researching, I discovered many other Encore owners facing the same problem. This issue seems widespread and warrants a recall.

  I've only had my car for five months in 2018 when the condenser suddenly stopped working. With so many others facing the same issue with this vehicle, it really should be subject to a recall. It's just unjust.

  A few issues that may arise with the air conditioning in a 2018 Buick Encore include malfunctioning cooling fans, a damaged condenser, and refrigerant leaks.

  I purchased my 2018 Encore fresh off the lot. The AC stopped working in 2020, but thankfully, it was still under warranty. Fast forward to 2022, and once again, the air conditioner has crapped out on me.

  I'm currently at 77,000 miles on my car when the air conditioning stopped working due to the condenser seizing up. It's been more than a month now, and I'm still waiting for the replacement part. I've noticed many others experiencing the same issue, so there should be a recall for this common problem.

  My 2020 Encore has only 5000 miles on it and it's already at the repair shop. They're replacing the blower motor and conducting tests on the AC system to find the leak source. I'll have to wait until next week to know the exact issue. It's frustrating.

  The air isn't cooling down as it should.

  I purchased a used 2018 Buick Encore in 2020 after it finished its lease. In 2022, I had to leave it at the repair shop for more than a week to sort out the air conditioning issue. Now, in 2023, it's going back in for the same problem. I'm grateful that I got the extended warranty. If I had been aware of these recurring issues, I wouldn't have bought this car.

  I continue to experience leaks in my 2016 vehicle, and I am now bringing it in for the second time within 18 months of owning it. This situation warrants a recall.

  I'm curious about what's happening with the AC in my Buick Encore. I've taken it to the mechanic three times already, and the strange noise that comes with the AC not working is really getting on my nerves.

  I own a 2018 Encore with 55,000 kilometers on it. The air conditioning wasn't functioning, so I brought it to the dealership, and they repaired it without charge under the warranty. My car is covered by a warranty for four years or 80,000 kilometers. If someone was informed that their warranty expired at 54,000 kilometers, they should definitely return to the dealership.

  My air conditioning unit broke down when my car had reached 55,000 miles.

  I've put 57,000 miles on my 2018 Buick Encore, and when I got close to 55,000 miles, my A/C stopped blowing cold air. It takes about 1 to 2 hours of driving with it on before it starts blowing slightly cool to warm air. The dealership informed me that my bumper-to-bumper warranty expired at 50,000 miles, so the A/C issue isn't covered anymore. They said a diagnostic will cost me $145 before any repairs. I'm worried about the repair costs for my Encore.

  My mother purchased a brand new 2020 model earlier today and was traveling from Texas to Georgia when the air conditioning suddenly stopped cooling in Mississippi.
