2015 Buick ENCORE Visibility Wiper Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1292992
Internal NHTSA #	10876295
Manufacurer	General Motors LLC
Brand	BUICK
Model	ENCORE
Model Year	2015
File date	25/04/16
Component	VISIBILITY/WIPER
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	The side object detection in the sideview mirrors can become disabled, and the warning message "side object detection system disabled" only appears for a short period in the dic. However, the side object detection remains disabled (without the message) until the next key cycle. For safety, i believe that the message should stay on the entire time that the side object detection is disabled. When a driver does not know that the ststem is disabled, a serious accident could occur. General motors has issued document id 4426193, #16-na-069: side detection system unavailable or intermittently side blind zone stops working (mar 3, 2016) which states "do not replace any parts for this condition." the issue is not fixed and i do not know if or when the system is working. The side object detection stops working when there are no vehicles/structures/objects for 15-25 minutes. A warning message flashes briefly on the dic, but does not stay on even though the system remains disabled.
