Buick Envista Lighting problems by year

Passenger window will go down while LOCKED. Strange noise from front cabin

The brake lights for this vehicle are located low in the bumper, not in the main taillights, posing a safety hazard. Because the brake lights are not located where other drivers naturally expect to see brake lights, the risk of a reared collision are unnecessarily increased.

On January 15, 2025, my front panel went completely blank (black screen) moments after driving off a parking lot. I pulled over, turned the car off to try to reset it, but didn't work. Tried this 3-4 different times in different locations. I also had no exterior lights working. My main lights, brake and headlights were not functioning. This was very stressful and luckily it was still daylight, so I returned home immediately. I took a video of this incident for my records. Next day, the panel is working properly.

I picked up my new lease on 9/23/24. I don't understand why the rear taillights at the hatch level don't also work as turn indicators/brake lights. I learned that there is a set of lights on the lower half of the rear end, closer to the fascia. Once I was following another Buick Envista and I was amazed at how low those lights are. On another occasion when I was using the adaptive cruise control, I almost caused an accident because the driver behind me apparently did not see any brake lights in their "usual" position.

On Friday, September 13, 2024, without warning, the instrument panel that shows the speed of the car (and left and right turn signals), turned off and went black (blank), while I was driving my brand new Buick, Envista. It was less than three months old at the time. The car's mileage was at about 1,000 miles. I did not know what speed my car was going, other than by watching cars around me. I did not know if the car's turn signals were working. I did not know if the car's brake lights were working. I did not know...
