I bought my wife a Buick Encore GX. It has a automatic 1.3 turbo with 155hp. Her Encore has 9000 miles since the purchase. I don’t believe the purchase was a good purchase but my wife loves the car. What are the issues that people have had with this size motor besides the Encore is cramped and slow? And should we get rid of the vehicle before issues arise?
See below for TSBs issued to address engine issues:
There’s many more related to the engine, too many to list here, but here is the link:

And should we get rid of the vehicle before issues arise?
The vehicle is made in China. I would get rid of it before the warranty expires.
Get rid of that sooner than later.
3 month old Encore with 1,800 miles.
Going back to the shop for the 5th time. Problems still unresolved.
Squeezing every ounce of power out of tiny engines isn't a good recipe.
