2025 BUICK ENVISTA — Complaint #2055777
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about COMMUNICATION: AUTO CRASH NOTIFICATION filed January 14, 2025
NHTSA complaint #2055777 (ODI reference 11635880) concerns a 2025 BUICK ENVISTA and was filed on January 14, 2025. The owner reports the failure occurred on January 4, 2025. The vehicle had 3,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Ohio based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as communication: auto crash notification, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same BUICK ENVISTA cohort independently describe similar communication: auto crash notification failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data.
