Some Buick LaCrosse owners report experiencing severe rust and paint chipping issues, which can be concerning for vehicle maintenance. These owners have noted problems such as blind spots in the front left and right, interior paint chipping, and trunk latch malfunctions.

In a related case, a 2016 Encore owner experienced paint bubbling on the hood that led to chipping, which was not covered by the dealership and attributed to a paint job defect. To combat rust in wheel wells, some owners have found success with a process involving wire wheeling rust and loose paint, sanding, priming, and applying color and clear coat. Owners have expressed concerns about the time and labor costs associated with addressing these issues, as rust can spread if not properly managed. It is advisable for those facing similar problems to consult a professional for assessment and remediation to prevent further deterioration.
