ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ONE EVENING I WAS DRIVING ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND MY INSIDE LIGHTS CAME ON. I PULLED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD TO CHECK THE SWITCH BUT IT WAS ON AUTO. I TURNED IT OFF BUT THE LIGHTS STAYED ON. THEY WERE STILL ON WHEN I GOT HOME AND PARKED TURNED OFF THE IGNITION THE LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. THE NEXT MORNING MY CAR COULDN'T START BECAUSE IT HAD RAN MY BATTERY DOWN. ANOTHER INCIDENT WAS MY HEADLIGHTS WENT OFF ONE NIGHT WHILE I WAS DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM ALSO HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY GAS GAUGE. MY GAS LIGHT COMES ON LIKE I AM OUT OF GAS. THE LAST TIME I FILL MY CAR UP WITH GAS IT HESITATED. IT DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE LIGHT STAYS ON WHEN MY CAR IS FULL OF GAS. I SMELL GAS. I SAT AT THE GAS STATION FOR AN OUR BECAUSE MY CAR DIDN'T WANT TO START. THE SOUND OF MY RADIO GOES IN AND OUT. MY LIGHTS CONTINUE TO GO ON AND OFF WHEN DRIVING OR WHEN NOT DRIVING. ONE MORNING I GOT UP TO GO TO WORK, WENT TO START MY CAR AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE ON BUT THE SWITCH WAS OFF. I COULDN'T GET THE LIGHTS TO GO OFF WHEN I GOT TO WORK. THEY STAYED ON AT LEAST FOR 4 HRS. SOMETIME THE LIGHTS DOESN'T COME ON WHEN I PUT THEM ON. I REALLY HAVE SOME WEIRD THINGS GO ON WITH MY VEHICLE. I DID GET THE MODULE CHANGED AND THEY DID SOME RE-WIRING IN THE DOOR. ONE YEAR BEFORE THE MODULE, I GOT THEM TO CHECK MY CAR FOR A SHORT AND I WAS TOLD FROM THEM THAT MY WIRES WERE OVER HEATED. I PAID ABOUT $900 TO FIX IT. I STRONGLY THINK IT IS A DETECT SOME WHERES OR SOMETHING THAT WOULD CAUSE MY WIRES TO OVER HEAT. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY AT ABOUT 11PM, GOING 70 MILES PER HOUR, MY HEADLIGHT JUST WENT OUT. I TURNED THE CONTROL SWITCH ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. I PULLED ONTO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CHECK TO SEE IF MY OTHER LIGHTS WERE WORKING (BLINKERS, FLOOD LIGHTS, BRIGHTS) AND THEY WERE. MY HEADLIGHTS HOWEVER WEREN'T. I TRIED TURNING THE TRUCK ON AND OFF TO SEE IF THEY WOULD COME BACK ON BUT THEY DIDN'T. AFTER SITTING THERE WITH THE CAR OFF FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES, I STARTED IT BACK UP AND THEY CAME ON. I HAD TO TURN AROUND AND GO BACK HOME IN FEAR THAT I COULDN'T FINISH MY TRIP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW IF MY LIGHTS WOULD GO OUT AGAIN. SINCE THIS FIRST INCIDENT, MY LIGHT GO OUT ON A DAILY BASIS AND AT RANDOM. THEY HAVE GONE OUT WHILE MY TRUCK HAS BEEN IN PARK AS WELL AS WHILE I'VE BEEN DRIVING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE SHOP AND AFTER THEM HAVING MY TRUCK FOR 9 HOURS, THEY TOLD ME THEY WORKED THE WHOLE TIME WHILE THEY HAD IT (GO FIGURE). I TOOK MY TRUCK BACK IN THIS MORNING BECAUSE IT WAS HAPPENING AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO SHOW TO THEM THAT MY SWITCH WAS REGISTERING MY HEADLIGHTS AS BEING ON WHEN THEY WEREN'T. I HAVE CONTACTED GMC TO FILE A COMPLAINT AND WAS TOLD AT THIS TIME THERE WASN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO AND THAT I JUST NEED TO GET IT REPAIRED. HARD TO DO WHEN NO ONE WILL ACKNOWLEDGE THE PROBLEM. I AM BEYOND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE I AM LIMITED WHEN I CAN DRIVE MY VEHICLE DUE TO THIS MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN HAPPEN AT ANYTIME WITHOUT ANY WARNINGS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
I HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE 3 TIMES -8/2012, 2/2013, 3/2014 - SO I AM ON THE 4TH IGNITION SWITCH IN THIS CAR, MILEAGE NOW APPROX 108,000. THE 4X4, STABILITRAK, ABS AND EMERGENCY BRAKE LIGHTS COME ON THEN IT BEEPS REPEATEDLY. SOMETIMES CONCURRENTLY, SOMETIMES NOT THE AIR BLOWER STOPS WORKING AS WELL. THIS 3RD TIME, AFTER THE LIGHTS HAD BEEN COMING OFF/ON FOR A FEW DAYS, TURNING THE BLOWER ON WOULD TRIGGER THE LIGHTS TO COME ON. FOR EACH OF THE 3 TIMES, THE GMC DEALER HAS RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT OF THE IGNITION SWITCH (2X AT MY COST) ON THE MOST RECENT REPAIR A VOLTAGE SPIKE WAS ACKNOWLEDGED BUT THE OPTION TO TRACK THIS BY INSTALLING INLINE FUSES WAS NOT EVEN OFFERED UNTIL I HAD TAKEN MY ISSUE TO A HIGHER AUTHORITY. I DECLINED AS I DON'T CARE TO PUT MORE MONEY IN A CAR THAT EVEN ONE OF THE DEALERSHIPS EMPLOYEES RECOMMENDED I JUST SELL AND BUY NEW. MY CONCERN IS WHETHER THIS CAR IS A HAZARD TO ME AND OTHERS? THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID WHEN THIS OCCURS THE IGNITION IS ESSENTIALLY OFF AND THE CAR COULD STOP BUT ANOTHER PERSON TOLD ME THAT NO, IT'S ANOTHER LEG OF THE IGNITION AND ITS OKAY. I DON'T KNOW WHO TO BELIEVE. ....UPDATED 08/12/14 *BF UPDATED 11/12/2014 *JS UPDATED 8/28/2017*CN

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY READ EMPTY ON THE FUEL GAUGE, THEN THE PANEL SAID LOW OIL PRESSURE SHUT OFF ENGINE. I RAN OUT OF GAS ON A BUSY HIGHWAY PASSING LANE ALMOST CAUSING A BAD ACCIDENT WITH MY 5 YEAR OLD IN THE BACK SEAT AS I COULD NOT TELL MY FUEL LEVEL. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD WORK SPORADICALLY OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS AND THE LOW OIL PRESSURE WOULD GO AWAY AND COME BACK. WHEN I HAD THIS CHECKED OUT IT WAS THOUGHT TO BE THE OIL SENDING UNIT SO IT WAS CHANGED ALONG WITH THE FUEL SENDING UNIT. THE FUEL SENSOR WAS RESOLVED AT A COST OF $300 BUT THE LOW OIL PRESSURE CAME BACK ON EVEN THOUGH OIL WAS WELL MAINTAINED. SUDDENLY ON 3/1/2012 THE ENGINE RAN LOAD WHEN STARTED UP. I HAD TOWED TO THE SHOP WHERE (GM WHERE THEY DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS NO GOOD. I HAD IT TOWED TO ANOTHER SHOP THAT DETERMINED THE ENGINE WAS NO GOOD AS WELL. I HAD TO PAY TO REPLACE THE ENGINE ALMOST $5000. I THEN LOOKED ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE AND FOUND A WEBSITE TRAILVOY.COM (REPRESENT CHEVY TRAILBLAZER AND GMC ENVOY). HERE I FOUND 1000'S OF POST OF PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES LOOKING TO FILE LAW SUITS AND WONDERING WHY WE CAN HAVE NO RECALL ON THIS DANGEROUS VEHICLE. THERE ORE 1000'S OF PEOPLE HAVING LOW OIL PRESSURE, DEAD ENGINES WITH LOW MILEAGE VEHICLES, RUN OUT OF GAS ON BUSY ROADS SUCH AS MYSELF AND MUCH MUCH MORE. THE GM ISSUES WE'VE EXPERIENCED AND ARE EXPERIENCING HAS BEEN HERE LONG BEFORE THE CURRENT ISSUES OF GM VEHICLES. HOW CAN WE GET SOMEONE WILLING TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE AND ISSUES ON THE RECALL LIST AND GET REIMBURSED FOR THE 1000'S OF DOLLARS SPENT TO REPAIR THIS VERY DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. IF A PETITION WILL DO IT PLEASE SHINE SOME LIGHT ON THIS. I HAD RECEIVED POST ON THE FORUM FROM NUMEROUS PEOPLE WILLING TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND MANY WERE CONSULTING ATTORNEYS ON HOW TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS. THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT WE DESPERATELY NEED THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, STRUCTURE:BODY:DOOR
PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN OCTOBER OF 2013 AND NOW THE DRIVERS DOOR ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WORKS INTERMITTENTLY. I CONTACTED GMC BECAUSE THIS WAS A RECALL IN JUNE OF 2013. GMC TOLD ME THE WORK WAS ALREADY DONE SO TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM FIXED I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR IT OUT OF POCKET. THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS THEY DIDN'T FIX THE PROBLEM THEY ONLY MASKED IT WITH A CHEAP PIECE OF PLASTIC. IF A VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND IT IS NOT FIXED CORRECTLY DOES THE COMPANY LEGALLY HAVE TO PLAY TO FIX THE PART AGAIN BECAUSE ONE OF THEIR DEALERSHIPS WAS NEGLIGENT IN FIXING THE RECALL CORRECTLY? *JS

VEHICLE WIPERS STARTING TURNING ON WHEN WIPERS WERE SET TO OFF. THIS PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE . IT STARTED AS ONLY INTERMITTENTLY AND OCCASIONALLY HAVING THE WIPERS TURN ON FOR A COUPLE SWIPES AND THEN SHUTTING OFF. NOW THEY (THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS) START SWIPING WHEN THE VEHICLE IS STARTED AND YOU CAN HEAR THE WINDSHIELD WASHER PUMP RUNNING, THE WIPERS WILL RUN UNTIL I TURN THE VEHICLE OFF. AT TIMES THIS IS FOR 30 MINUTES OR LONGER. *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THIS PROBLEM IS WITH THE REAR DOOR 3RD BRAKE LIGHT SPOILER. BRACKETS HOLDING IT ON BROKE.. BELIEVE IT TO BE A DESIGN FAULT AFTER TALKING WITH JUNKYARDS AND DEALERS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. JUNKYARDS TELL ME THAT IS A BIG CALLED FOR ITEM, BUT IT IS DEALER SUPPLIED ONLY. SAFETY RISK OF IT FLYING OFF AND STRIKING ANOTHER VEHICLE. *TR

ENGINE, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
ON 12/23/13, WHILE PARKED THE VEHICLE DIED. WHEN RESTARTING, IT WAS A LITTLE SLOW BUT DID END UP STARTING. ON 12/24/13, I HAD THE BATTERY TESTED AND IT SHOWED THAT THE CCA'S JUST NEEDED A GOOD CHARGE SO I LET THE VEHICLE RUN FOR 45 MINUTES. A FEW HOURS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT EVEN TURN OVER. ON 12/25/13, REMOVED THE BATTERY AND REINSTALLED IT. THE VEHICLE STARTED FINE AND RAN WELL FOR A FEW DAYS. ON 1/1/14, VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. ENDED UP RESTARTING BUT I HAD TO GIVE IT GAS TO DO SO. ON 1/2/14, I STARTED THE CAR TO WARM IT UP AND IT STARTED FINE. I LET IT RUN FOR 20-30 MINUTES BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE IT. WHEN I GOT IN THE VEHICLE, IT SAID THAT THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS NOT WORKING AND THE STABILITRACK LIGHT WAS FLASHING ON AND OFF INTERMITTENTLY. I HAD TO GET A CAB TO WORK & HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP. I'M HOPING TO HEAR BACK TOMORROW IN REGARDS TO WHAT IS GOING ON. ALSO, HAD TO GET A RENTAL VEHICLE IN THE MEANTIME FOR TRANSPORTATION. *TR
