2015 Buick ENCORE Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1228880
Internal NHTSA #	10781784
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	BUICK
Model	ENCORE
Model Year	2015
File date	13/10/15
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	1. While stopped on an incline, even a small incline, the vehicle rolls backwards 6-12" when moving foot from brake to accelerator (the vehicle has automatic transmission). We have come close to hitting two vehicles behind us when stopped at a stop light and the vehicle slid backwards. 2. Because of design, there are columns reducing visibility through an already small rear window. The provided rear view camera has almost no resolution and under most normal lighting conditions is totally useless,. The result is there is no way to see what is behind you when backing up or backing out of a driveway. 3. We complained to the dealer and then to gm and were told that "all other encores were the same therefore there is nothing they can do."
