ENGINE, SUSPENSION
TAKATA RECALL I HAVE HAD TO MAKE MANY REPAIRS ON THIS VEHICLE. HOWEVER, NOW THE LIFTERS IN THE ENGINE COLLAPSED. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS ABOUT 87,000 MILES ON IT. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND THE LIFTERS COLLAPSING. WE ARE A ONE INCOME FAMILY AND THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE ARE ASTRONOMICAL. WELL OVER 3500.00 DOLLARS. THIS VEHICLE IS NOT DRIVABLE AND HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A YEAR NOW AT MY MECHANICS. THE VEHICLE IS OF NO USE TO ME AND HAS BECOME A HUGE PAPER WEIGHT NOW. THE WORST PART IS I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE TOO. GM NEEDS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY AND DO A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE AFM LIFTERS, OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS TO THIS VEHICLE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER GM PRODUCT AGAIN. OWN UP TO YOUR MISTAKES AND TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS VEHICLE THAT IS SUPPOSE TO BE AMERICAN MADE!!!!!!! THEN YOU WANT TO KNOW WHY PEOPLE ARE BUYING MORE FOREIGN MADE CARS. THEY SEEM TO BE MORE RELIABLE THAN THE GM PRODUCTS.

AIR BAGS
I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH MY VEHICLE STRUCK TWO VEHICLES. THE FIRST VEHICLE MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AT A LIGHTED INTERSECTION. I WAS TRAVELING AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 50MPH ON A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION (POSTED SPEED LIMIT 55MPH). THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY VEHICLE STRUCK THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FIRST VEHICLE (BLACK SEDAN PICTURED). MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STRIKE A SECOND VEHICLE (PICKUP IN PICTURE) THAT WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT OF THE CROSS STREET. MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE THE FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHOULD THE FRONT AIRBAG HAVE DEPLOYED? THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES, WHICH I AM GRATEFUL FOR, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. CRASH REPORT NUMBER 87-0070-87 IN WOOD COUNTY OHIO.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
BOTH HEADLIGHTS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DID NOT FUNCTION. WHILE RESEARCHING POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS, I DISCOVERED A GM SAFETY RECALL (NO. 14291) WHICH PRECISELY DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. UPON PRESENTING THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, THE SERVICING DEALER INDICATED THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. GIVEN NO OTHER VIABLE OPTIONS, I APPROVED THE REPAIR, THE COST OF WHICH WAS $278. I CONTEND THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER SAID RECALL AND AM ASKING NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS MATTER.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'VE HAD MY 2005 ENVOY FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND HAD MY HEADLIGHTS FLASH ON AND OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND FREWAY. ON ONE OCCASION WHILE DRIVING ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY AY NIGHT THE LIGHTS WENT OUT COMPLETELY FOR A FEW SECONDS. I WAS SO SCARED WSS REALLY GLAD FOR NO ONE BEHIND ME OR ON COMING TRAFFIC. ON ANOTHER OCCASSION I HAD TO PULL OVER ON CITY STREET AS MY LIGHTS WERE GOING ON AND OFF AND I COULD SEE THE CAR AHEAD WAS A COP AND I DIDNT WANT HIM TO THINK I WAS FLASHING FOR HELP ESPECIALLY AT 2 IN THE MORNING. IVE ALSO HAD TO EXIT THE FREEWAY BECAUSE MY LIGHTS STARTED GOING ON AND OFF AND ON AND WASNT SURE IF THEY WOULD JUST GO OUT COMPLETELY WHILE I WAS DRIVING AND SINCE IT WAS NIGHT TIME I DIDNT WANT TO TAKE THE CHANCE OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT AND HURTING SOMEONE ELSE OR MYSELF. I HAVE A TEENAGE DAUGHTER AND AM AFRAID TO TRANSPORT HER AND HER FRIENDS IN MY CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY REDUCED SPEED TO LESS THAN 35 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLOWLY DRIVE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THE LIMP MODE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER CLEARED MULTIPLE CODES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. IN ADDITION, MONTHS LATER, THE ENGINE LOCKED AND FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I WAS DOING A REAR BRAKE JOB AND SMELLED GASOLINE, SO I WENT UNDER THE VEHICLE AND OBSERVED THERE WAS A WET SPOT ON THE REAR OF THE FUEL TANK. UPON CLOSER EXAMINATION I FOUND THE INLET PART OF THE FUEL TANK WAS BROKEN AND ALLOWING FUEL TO EXIT THE TANK, CAN WE SAY FIRE RISK, SO I WENT ONLINE TO TRY TO PURCHASE A REPLACEMENT TANK AND I FOUND WHERE SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD HAD THIS SAMEPROBLEM, BUT NO RECALL IS IN PLACE ?????

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC), ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
THE VEHICLE WILL ABRUPTLY GO FROM 70 MPH TO 30'S (SEMI-TRAILER CLOSING IN FAST) AND I CAN'T DO A THING ABOUT IT!! SERVICE STABILITRACK HAS BEEN A THORN WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AND PERSISTS TO BE A PROBLEM NOW THAT IT IS OUT OF WARRANTY! FROM EARLY ON, <10,000 MILES AND OVER 10 TIMES SINCE, THIS VEHICLE HAD BEEN IN TO TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS AND THE PROBLEM, THOUGH INTERMITTENT, STILL EXISTS AND IS A HUGE DANGER TO ME AND MY KIDS BUT I CAN'T JUST GO BUY ANOTHER CAR OR TRADE THIS IN LIKE SOME PEOPLE (INCLUDING THE CAR DEALERSHIP MANAGERS) PORTRAY IS THE BEST OPTION WHEN I SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET GM TO FIX THE CAR OR REPLACE IT WHEN THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. BUT THAT HASN'T BEEN THE ONLY PROBLEM: GEAR BAND BROKE TWICE ON THE TRANSMISSION, HAD TO HAVE TRANSMISSION REBUILT BECAUSE OF FAULTY RADIATOR, AND OTHER ISSUES HOWEVER NONE OF THE PROBLEMS REMOTELY COMPARE TO HAVING TAKEN IT IN FOR SERVICE BECAUSE OF THE REPEATED UNEXPLAINED DE-ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF ABILITY TO MAKE THE CAR DO ANYTHING EXCEPT PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND GIVE IT TEN MINUTES TO STOP HAVING A "TANTRUM" OF SORTS WHILE TRAFFIC WHIZZES BY AND THANKFULLY DIDN'T HIT US (YET). EXTERIOR / AESTHETICS, I LOVE THIS VEHICLE BUT POOR FUNCTION AND EVEN WORSE SERVICE OF PROBLEMS. I'VE REPORTED IT TO CORPORATE BUT THEY DON'T CARE AND DESPITE IT HAVING HAD BEEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP NUMEROUS TIMES PRIOR TO END OF WARRANTY, NOW THEY JUST WANT ME TO START PAYING THEM FOR ALL THESE FIXES THAT HAVEN'T FIXED ANYTHING. ONCE I STARTED PAYING FOR FIXES AND THEN STARTED COMPLAINING THAT THEY AREN'T COVERING WHAT THEY'VE NEVER FIXED; THE MANAGER HAD THE NERVE TO SAY HE'D PAY FOR IT OUT OF HIS OWN POCKET IF HE KNEW IT WOULD FIX IT ... HELLO... WHY SHOULD THE CONSUMER PAY FOR IT WHEN THE PROBLEM IS NEVER REALLY FIXED.

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION, THE FUEL GAUGE GIVES INACCURATE GAS READING. FUEL GAUGE MODULATES FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN GAS IS IN CAR WHEN DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A PEACE OF MIND GIVEN THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2007 ENVOY IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

VISIBILITY/WIPER
HELLO, FIRST OFF, THIS IS NOT A VEHICLE ISSUE OR COMPLAINT. THIS IS AN AFTER MARKET COMPONENT ISSUE REGARDING BOSCH EVOLUTION WIPER BLADES. I PURCHASED BOSCH EVOLUTION ALL SEASON WIPERS FOR MY 2004 ENVOY FROM WOOT.COM AND INSTALLED THEM LAST SUMMER. THEY WORKED FINE UNTIL LAST MONTH WHEN WINTER WEATHER HIT HERE IN NEW YORK STATE. IN COLD WINTER CONDITIONS THREE THINGS HAVE OCCURRED: 1.THE WIPER LATCHES ARE LIFTING UP (RELEASING) ALLOWING THE WIPERS TO NO LONGER BE SECURED TO THE WIPER ARM. MY PASSENGER SIDE WIPER HAS ACTUALLY SEPARATED FROM THE WIPER ARM TWICE SO FAR, AND I HAVE HAD TO PULL OVER TO RETRIEVE THE WIPER FROM THE STREET WHILE AVOIDING TRAFFIC. 2.AND, IN COLD WINTER CONDITIONS THE WIPERS BLADES ARE TAKING A 'SET' THUS SCRAPING THE WINDOW LOUDLY IN ONE DIRECTION INSTEAD OF WIPING THE GLASS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS. 3.ALSO, THE COLD WEATHER IS MAKING THE WIPER BLADES FORM INTO A CURVED SHAPE AWAY FROM THE GLASS, INSTEAD OF BEING FLAT ON THE GLASS. THIS PREVENTS THE WIPER BLADE FROM CONTACTING MOST OF THE WINDSHIELD. I COULD NOT SEE WHERE I WAS GOING BECAUSE THE WIPERS ONLY CLEARED THE WINDOW AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM EDGES BECAUSE ONLY THE ENDS OF THE WIPER BLADE WERE MAKING CONTACT WITH THE WINDSHIELD. I BELIEVE THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND MORE IMPORTANTLY A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED BOSCH AUTOMOTIVE AND THEY REPLIED THEY ONLY HAVE A 30 DAY WARRANTY ON WIPERS AND I SHOULD CONTACT THE SELLER. BECAUSE OF BOSCH'S I DON'T CARE ATTITUDE I AM CONTACTING THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION (NHTSA) REGARDING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. SORRY TO BOTHER YOU WITH THIS ISSUE AND I LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR RESPONSE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

EXTERIOR LIGHTING
I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE IN AUTOMATIC MODE AND WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH THEM ON MANUALLY AFTER IT HAPPENS IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AND OTHERS THAT I KNOW WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
