Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the spark plugs every 60,000 mi; coolant at 150,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 150,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2022 Buick Envision sits in a relatively stable middle period of this generation's federal record. After the high-water mark of 2017—80 complaints and 4 recalls—and a quiet stretch from 2018 through 2020 with zero recalls, complaint volume ticked back up to 23 in 2021 and held at 23 for 2022, accompanied by 1 recall versus 2 in 2021. The 2022 model's 623 TSBs are also down from 2021's 695 and continue a downward trend through 2024, while its top complaint categories are engine (4), electrical system (2), and air bags (2), with no crash or fire complaints recorded. With complaint and recall activity nearly identical to 2023 and lower than 2021, the 2022 year appears to be a reasonable used-buy choice within this generation, though shoppers should still verify the single recall was addressed.
