The Lemon Index

Brands · No brand score

Buick.

Every Buick model we track: 7 with a Lemon Index, 3 with owner complaints.

Best Buick Encore 37 · Worst Buick Rendezvous 143

2012 Buick Enclave, illustration

Every Buick, ranked. Lower is better. 100 is the average car.

Each score covers that model's own model years. Buick wasn't one of the 22 brands in our 2010–2022 study, so it has no brand score.

More Buick models with owner complaints. No score: we don't have their U.S. sales by year, so each page shows the complaints and recalls.

The Lemon Index counts owner complaints filed with the U.S. government (NHTSA) in a car's first 3 years, per car sold, against the average car of the same model years (100 = average, lower is better). It measures complaints, not crash safety. How it works · Every brand
