EXTERIOR LIGHTING
FORT HE PAST YEAR MY VEHICLE'S HEADLIGHTS HAVE BEEN TURNING ON AND OFF PERIODICALLY WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN IN TRAFFIC AND AT ALL SPEEDS. THESE OCCURRENCES HAVE RESULTED IN EXTREMELY UNSAFE CONDITIONS SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT, THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE CONDITION COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL OPERABLE DURING THE LOW BEAM OUTAGES, HOWEVER, THIS STILL RESULTS IN AN UNSAFE DRIVING CONDITIONS. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY DRIVER SIDE LOCKS AND WINDOW CONTROLS HAVE CEASED TO OPERATE. EVIDENTLY FLUID MAY ENTER THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, CAUSING CORROSION THAT COULD RESULT IN A SHORT CIRCUIT IN THE DOOR MODULE WHICH CAUSED THE POWER DOOR LOCK AND POWER WINDOW SWITCHES TO BECOME INOPERATIVE. MY CONCERN IS THAT THE SHORT MAY ALSO CAUSE OVERHEATING, WHICH COULD MELT COMPONENTS OF THE DOOR MODULE, PRODUCING AN ODOR, SMOKE, OR A FIRE. I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND THERE IS A RECALL FROM GM AND DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE DRIVER'S DOOR MODULE, IF IT IS FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, A PROTECTIVE COATING WILL BE APPLIED. IF THE MODULE IS NOT FUNCTIONING CORRECTLY, IT WILL BE REPLACED. THE GM RECALL NUMBER IS 12180. I CALLED GM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT ALTHOUGH THIS EXACT PROBLEM IS HAPPENING TO MY AUTOMOBILE...MY CAR IS NOT COVERED. I AM AFRAID THAT MY CAR WILL CATCH ON FIRE. *TR

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
MY HUSBAND AND I PURCHASED A 2007 GMC ENVOY SLT SINCE ABOUT A WEEK AFTER WE GOT IT THE REAR WIPER COMES ON BY ITSELF, THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT OFF IS TO TURN IT ON ALL THE WAY AND TURN IT OFF. WHILE DRIVING ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OFF WHICH IS VERY SCARY ESPECIALLY ON DARK ROADS. SERVICE STABILATRAK COMES ON WHILE DRIVING, TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR COMES ON WHEN THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY TIRES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 GMC ENVOY. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED WHEN HE/SHE INITIALLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR THE RECALL, THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. THIRTY DAYS LATER, THE RECALL WORK THAT WAS PERFORMED, MALFUNCTIONED. ALSO, THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE BRAKE LIGHT SYSTEM. EVEN AFTER CHANGING THE BULB, THE REAR BRAKE LIGHTS DID NOT WORK EVEN THOUGH THE LIGHT ON THE HATCH DID. *JB THE CONSUMER STATED AS HE ENTERED THE VEHICLE, WHILE IT WAS RAINING, WATER ENTERED THE DOOR MODULE, WHICH CAUSED IT SHORT OUT. EVENTUALLY, THE LEFT DOOR LOCK AND WINDOW CONTROLS, STOPPED WORKING. UPDATED 06/23/14.

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE WERE DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 AT 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST QUIT. WE WERE ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY. HAD TO HAVE THE ENVOY TOWED TO OUR MECHANIC. THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. WE NOW BELIEVE IT WAS AN IGNITION PROBLEM LIKE WITH THE OTHER GMC VEHICLES. *TR

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
WE WERE AGAIN DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 5 AT 60 MPH WHEN THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED. WE WERE ONCE AGAIN ABLE TO COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME OUR ENVOY JUST STOPPED RUNNING AT 60 MPH. AGAIN, THE MECHANICS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT WHY THIS HAPPENED. I HAPPENED ONE MORE TIME, BUT I DO NOT HAVE THE DATE. SO THAT MAKES THREE TIMES OUR 2002 GMC ENVOY SUDDENLY QUIT RUNNING WHILE AT A HIGH SPEED ON THE FREEWAY. WE ARE CONCERNED THIS IS AN IGNITION PROBLEM LIKE WITH THE OTHER GM VEHICLES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
THE FUEL GAUGE STATED THAT I HAD 300 MILES TILL EMPTY. WHILE GOING DOWN THE ROAD, IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN TO EMPTY. I STOPPED AND TURNED IT OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES AND TURNED IT BACK ON. IT TOOK ABOUT 5 MINUTES BUT THE MILEAGE AND GAS HAND WENT BACK UP TO WHERE IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE. THIS MORNING I FILLED THE TANK UP AND NOW THE COMPUTER IS READING LOW FUEL AND THE GAS HAND IS BELOW THE RED LINE. ALSO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. *TR

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

ENGINE
OUR 2008 GMC ENVOY KEPT ON GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AS TIME WENT ON AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT I FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD A CRACK IN IT ABOUT 3.5 INCHES LONG. IF FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DO TO I CHANGED 3 OD THEM IN OTHER GMC ENVOYS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I OWN A STATE INSPECTION REPAIR GARAGE IN PENNSYLVANIA.THIS IS A VERY POOR LAYOUT BY GM. ALSO THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP ON THIS SAME VEHICLE IS A COMMAND PROBLEM. AND THE WIPER SPRAY NOZZLE IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMAND POOR DESIGN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE CAUSED THE 2007 GMC ENVOY TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GASOLINE AND STALL AS THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT STOPPED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CORRECTING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED DEFECT. WHY HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL COVERING CERTAIN VEHICLES UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V223000 BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF THIS 2007 GMC ENVOY WHEN THE END RESULT OF THE DEFECT CAN ALSO CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH? *TR

DEFECTIVE AIR BAG MODULE # P/N 15080860 SERV/NO 122162269 AJ7: FOR SEVERAL YEARS A AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT DISPLAYED ON MY GMC ENVOY. I TOOK IT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT REPAIR PLACES AND ALL FELT IT WAS PROBABLY A DEFECTIVE MODULE WHICH SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. ONSTAR SAID DEALER NEEDED TO DO MORE DIAGNOSTICS. DEALER DID NOT PERFORM WHEN FIRST TAKEN IN FOR SUCH. WITH RECENT NEWS OF DEATHS DUE TO IGNITION AND AIRBAG FAILURES I BECAME SUSPICIOUS. FINALLY, RETURNED TO DEALERS AND INSISTED A COMPREHENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC ON AIRBAG MODULE BE DONE...COUPLE OF DAYS SERVICING. MODULE FINALLY CONFIRMED DEFECTIVE. THEY REPLACED WITH #12233969 (MODULE 16712-CT). COST TOTAL FOR DEFECTIVE PART AND SERVICING WAS $746.28. FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A SAFETY RECALL ISSUE ALL ALONG, BUT DEALER SAID GM DID NOT DECLARE AS SUCH. OTHER SERVICE REPAIR TECHNICIANS DISAGREED. FORTUNATELY NO ACCIDENT WAS INVOLVED IN THE SEVERAL YEARS THIS WAS AN ISSUE. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER OF THE SUV BEGAN TO INDICATE INCORRECT READINGS. THE SPEEDOMETER WORKS FINE UNTIL WE GO ON THE HIGHWAY AND TRAVEL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL SET BETWEEN 65-70. THEN THEY WILL READ THE INCORRECT SPEED FOR A WEEK OR SO THEN START WORKING FINE AGAIN. THE TACHOMETER NEEDLE JUST "HANGS." I TALKED TO 2 DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOPS WHO ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ENVOY'S AND TRAILBLAZERS. THE COST TO DO THIS IS OVER $500 OR MORE. IT APPEARS THAT SEVERAL OTHER 2004 GMC ENVOY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. A RECALL SHOULD BE IN ORDER. WHEN I TALKED TO THE REPAIR SHOPS THEY SAID BEFORE THEY CAN CORRECT THE ISSUE UNDER MY EXTENDED WARRANTY IS TO SEE IT HAPPEN. EACH TIME I HAD AN APPT SET IT WOULD START WORKING BEFORE THE APPT DATE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. VERY IRRITATED THAT GMC DOESN'T ADDRESS THIS NOW. *TR

I HAD AN ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY DUE TO WEATHER CONDITIONS. I ENDED UP SPINNING THE VEHICLE AROUND WHILE IN THE TRAVEL LANE AND HIT THE CAR IN THE PASSING LANE. MY AIRBAGS NEVER DEPLOYED. ALTHOUGH NO ONE WAS INJURED THANKFULLY. I WONDERED WHY THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T GO OFF. SHOULD I BE WORRIED? HAS ANYONE MADE THIS SAME COMPLAINT? THANK YOU. *TR
