This is the second time my brake line has cracked and started leaking brake fluid without any warnings from my dashboard that my brake fluid was low. First time was [XXX] and this time is [XXX] it's only a matter of time before the back ones fail. I hope and pray that I don't be driving cause I don't want to hurt anyone or myself. General motors knows about this problem on the 2016 Buick envision but my vin don't fall under the recall. They only recalled three hundred and something vehicle for this problem out of all the suv they have manufactured. I am not sure if any of the other vehicles in the Gm family is affected by this but in my opinion all of these [XXX] China built vehicle should be recalled for as something as brakes lines defects. I would say put an after market one on your vehicle they may be safer but I am not sure. I will never ever buy another General motors vehicle. They don't care about humans life. Who ever reads this I hope you get your vehicle checked or switch out your brake lines with another brand don't use AC Delco at all. Cheap [XXX] parts. First time my vehicle had only 50000 miles I will stick to ford vehicle their parts lasted on my car for almost 200000 thousand miles and my brake lines or clippers never failed. If it wasn't for someone crashing into and totalling my vehicle ain't no telling how long it would have lasted. It had 201000 miles never no engine or transmission problems at all. It was built ford tough. Also my coolant temperature sensor went out at about 45000 miles never had that problem on my 2011 ford fusion at all still had the original one on it and worked fine. These new vehicles are trash. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

July 2016 chose 2016 Buick Envision for forward collision alert automatic braking system - April 2017 got a letter from GM stating "Envision catalog inadvertently stated that forward collision alert automatically engages the vehicle brakes. It does not engage your brakes." When we contacted the customer assistance center - four people later - we were told that GM was not prepared to add the feature we were lead to believe we had, which was the main reason we chose this vehicle in the first place. Our GM customer case number is 299-450-8712 and the 4th person we spoke with was katrina at 1-866-790-5600 extension 5911824. [yes the car is 'safe' to drive but 'no' it does not have the additional safety feature as presented. Truth in advertising is important. We would not have selected this vehicle last year if we had known the 'truth' then.
