Some Buick Encore owners report experiencing persistent check engine light issues related to emissions repairs, often caused by problems with the Evap emissions system, such as large evaporative emissions leaks, and faults in the emissions system or oxygen sensor malfunctions. Additionally, owners of 2012-2016 models with the Ecotech 1.4L turbo engine may encounter lean conditions that trigger warning codes. To resolve these issues, some owners find that addressing Evap system leaks, checking and replacing oxygen sensors at recommended intervals, and correcting lean conditions are effective solutions. The diagnosis and repair costs for these emissions-related check engine light problems typically range from $88 to $111. Furthermore, some owners are aware of a voluntary emissions recall affecting certain 2020-2023 Buick Encore GX units due to engine control module issues, as well as the common problem of blown turbochargers leading to check engine light and acceleration issues. Regular maintenance and prompt repairs are crucial for preventing complications and ensuring optimal vehicle performance and emissions control functionality.
