The 2022BUICKENVISION carries 41 consumer safety complaints in NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation database for this specific model-year cohort. Within that volume, owners reported 0 crashes, 0 fires, 1 injury, and 0 fatalities. For crash performance, NHTSA's New Car Assessment Program gave this cohort an overall 5/5 rating, with 5/5 front crash, 5/5 side crash, and 4/5 rollover scores derived from standardized barrier and dynamic tests.
Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2022 ENVISION is engine with 7 filings, followed by electrical system (6) and air bags (4). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 1 active recall campaign, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 1 investigation file overlapping the 2022 ENVISION. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Telematics module drained my battery mid drive. Car shut off on highway. Module malfunctioned and caused safety features to malfunction. After communication with Dealership, OnStar, ultimately GM refuses to issue a recall on the module. This is a NATIONWIDE issue with GM Telematics Module. Warranty will not cover the module on any of these vehicles. Someone is going to sustain serious bodily injury or maybe even die eventually if this issue isnât resolved. Dealerships are telling drivers it is ok to drive like this. My car shut off on me twice. I had to buy two new batteries because the module continues to suck the life out of them. Serious safety issue not only to self but unsuspecting drivers because there is NO WARNING! Please help the millions of people nationwide who are having issues with their GM vehicles that have malfunctioning Telematics modules before someone gets hurt or dies!

I started the car. Backed out of my driveway. Put into drive. The car stalled I shifted to park tried to restart. It wouldnât. At that point I tried to put car into neutral I couldnât. There is no way to shift this car into neutral. ( I checked with service department at gmdealer). This alone is dangerous the car cannot be moved. Anyway the car was towed to a dealer who fixed it. It was th fuel pump power module. The dealer and tow truck driver both told me this happens at least 5 times a week. There is no recall on this. My biggest concern is I could be on any road going high speeds and this part can fail. This is a death trap. There was no warning lights or messages to be found. PLEASE TAKE THIS MATTER SERIOUSLY SOMEONE IS GONNA DIE.
