2023 BUICK ENVISION Complaints and Recall Information
The 2023 BUICK ENVISION has 7 complaints and 5 recalls filed with NHTSA. Owners most frequently report issues with the engine RPM increasing unexpectedly when decelerating and problems with the telematics module causing battery drain and occasional vehicle shutdowns.
Common Issues- Unexpected RPM increase. The engine RPM rises when letting off the accelerator and pressing the brake, requiring the use of both feet to stop the vehicle safely.
- Deceleration failure. The vehicle sometimes fails to slow down as expected, requiring shifting to neutral or park to reduce RPMs.
- Accelerator interference suspected. Some owners removed floor mats to prevent potential interference with the accelerator but issues persisted.
- Telematics module faults. A failing telematics module triggers the check engine light and can drain the battery, sometimes causing the vehicle to die unexpectedly.
- Battery drainage. The battery may drain due to the defective telematics module, affecting vehicle operation even when it is off.
- Part availability. Some owners report difficulty obtaining replacement telematics modules from dealers.
- Multiple dealer visits. Problems often require multiple inspections and repairs by dealerships without permanent resolution.
There are 5 recalls affecting the 2023 BUICK ENVISION, involving various systems including lighting, software, and other vehicle components. These recalls address safety and compliance issues and affect a significant number of vehicles.
Recalls- Lighting control module software. NHTSA recall 22V903000 affects 740,108 vehicles including the 2023 Envision. The daytime running lights may fail to deactivate when the headlights are on, reducing visibility and increasing crash risk. Dealers will update the body control module software free of charge either in person or via over-the-air update.
Owners facing repeated repairs, unresolved telematics or battery issues, or those affected by safety-related recalls may have rights under their state’s lemon law. Legal consultation may provide guidance on available remedies.

I bought a used 2023 Buick Envision with 49k miles on it. It was not covered under warranty due to mileage. A couple of weeks after purchase the CEL came on. It was originally diagnosed as a bad battery. It was later diagnosed as a failed Telematics Module. I had the module replaced on 8/23/25 so it is not available for inspection unless the dealer has it. After reading many complaints for the same problem on many different GM cars I suspect the bad battery had been drained by the failing Telematics module. Although it did not happen to me directly others have reported the car dying in the middle of the road because the battery died. The car has only been inspected by two dealerships since my purchase. I am reporting this because there are so many others facing this problem. I live in Los Angeles and my dealership was able to get the part and replace it. So many others are not even able to get the part. Their lives are being negatively impacted. I hope you can gather enough complaints and force GM to recall these modules or come up with a solution. This is dangerous and extremely frustrating for many consumers. Thank you for your time. PS - I can provide the invoice for the module replacement if you need it.

When letting off the accelerator to slow coming to a stop I would press the brake pedal. but the motor would increase RPMs and I had to use both feet to stop the vehicle. Then I had to put the car in neutral and the RPMs would increase even though I was at a stop and then I had to put it in Park before the RPMs would drop. I removed the driver's floor mat encase it was effecting the accelerator. The vehicle didn't act this violent but it failed to decelerate several times before I could get it to my local dealer.
