2013 Buick Encore 76K miles…
Been happening for a couple years now. Only seems to happen while stopped, after we’ve traveled just a few miles AND, does NOT reoccur after, regardless of how many miles we then travel. We just roll down the windows for a few seconds then close them.
At first I thought it was the car / truck in front of us.
Took a trip to Nashville (from Pittsburgh) two years ago, stayed there for a week, it never occurred.
NO codes being thrown, the car has passed (Dealer) safety and emissions testing the last 3 times. Interestingly enough, during the most recent testing, we were informed that the “Flex” pipe was bad….. I was excited to replace it (myself) thinking “Hey” that’s got to be it….. and surely it was physically bad / separated. Took it back to the dealership and they passed the car.
Day later, problem is still there.
No, I’ve NOT asked the Dealer to locate the issue.
Any ideas / thoughts 🤷🏻♂️
