EXTERIOR LIGHTING
THE VEHICLES HEADLIGHTS KEEP GOING OUT AT NIGHT WILL DRIVING. I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THIS PROBLEM FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS, I AM A CERTIFIED MECHANIC AND I BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS THE HEADLIGHT RELAY THAT IS OVERHEATING. THIS IS THE SAME GM PART THAT IS BEING RECALLED IN OTHER GM VEHICLES. GM PART # 15016745. SO WHY HAS IT NOT BEEN RECALLED IN 05 . THE PROBLEM HAPPENS AT RANDOM THE LIGHT WILL GO OUT WHILE DRIVING OR PARKED IT DOES NOT MATTER.

STEERING
I HAVE A 2005 GMC ENVOY DENALI 4X4 AND 'VE RUN OUT OF GAS 3 TIMES IN THE 4 YEARS OF OWNING THIS VEHICLE AND EVERY TIME THE STEERING WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKS MAKING THE VEHICLE UNABLE TO BE MOVED FROM THE PLACE IT DECIDES TO FINALLY COME TO A REST AT- AND CAUSING NOTHING SHORT OF A GIANT SAFETY ISSUE WHEN YOUR CAR IS STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AND YOU ARE NOT ONLY TRYING TO EXIT YOUR CAR BUT NOT CAUSE A COLLISION WHEN IT IS IN A BLIND SPOT OF A TURN OF OTHER DRIVERS ON THE ROAD WHEN IT FINALLY COMES TO A STOP. I LIVE IN NH AND THERE ARE MANY MOUNTAIN LIKE AREAS AND IF IT EVER HAPPENED AT THE BOTTOM OF A HILL OR A WINDY MOUNTAIN ROAD I'D PROBABLY BE DEAD. LAST WEEK I HAD A FULL TANK AND WAS TURNING OUT OF MY WORK AND THE WHEEL COMPLETELY LOCKED UP AND I ENDED UP GOING UP OVER A CURB ONTO SOMEONES LAWN AND MISSING THEIR HOME BY A FEW FEET-NOT OKAY. I WAS GOING NO MORE THAN 20 MPH THIS TIME AND THE PREVIOUS TIMES WERE ON CITY ROADS ALL GOING BETWEEN 40-60 MPH.

I'VE CONTACTED GM, BUT THEY OFFERED NO SOLUTION THAT'S AFFORDABLE. I HAVE NO HEADLIGHT OTHER THAN HIGH-BEAMS. PLEASE HELP AND MAKE GM INVESTIGATE THIS PROBLEM ON ALL THEIR 2005 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES.

ENGINE
RECEIVED A "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THE FAULT CODE THAT CAME UP WAS PO128 ( INSUFFICIENT AMBIENT TEMPERATURE - ECT ) UPON RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A COMMON FAULT ON THIS VEHICLE. IT IS GENERALLY CAUSED BY A "STICKING" COOLANT THERMOSTAT. THIS CONDITION ALSO RESULTS IN POOR HEATING POOR HEATING OF THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT. IF THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM WITH VEHICLE AS I HAVE FOUND. GM SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL AND CORRECT THE PROBLEM AT NO EXPENSE TO THE OWNER!

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, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
READING NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS THAT COMPARE TO MINE THE FUEL GAUGE, OIL GAUGES, AIR CONDITIONER ARE ALL MALFUNCTIONING IN MY CAR AND I'M VERY UPSET BECAUSE ALL OF THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I PURCHASED MY CAR BRAND NEW IN 2005 AND I WILL NEVER BUY A GMC CAR AGAIN FOR THIS REASON IT'S ONE THING TO RECALL REPAIR PARTS THAT WERE BROKEN THAT TO REPAIR MALFUNCTION PARTS. VERY DISAPPOINTED. IN SHORT MY GAUGES DON'T WORK, MY AIR CONDITIONER ONLY WORKS ON ONE SIDE AND NOW MY HEADLIGHTS LOW BEAN DON'T WORK. GMC NEEDS TO RECALL AND REPAIR.
