ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, VISIBILITY/WIPER
I BOUGHT THE CAR USED FEB. 2011 ABOUT MARCH 2011 SOMETIMES WHEN IT IS STARTED (NO SPECIFIC START TIME) THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL BE ON (NOT ALWAYS) AND THE CAR WILL DIE WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 TO 35 MILES PER HOUR. THIS IS NOT A ALL THE TIME PROBLEM, AND I CANNOT FIND A REASON WHY SOME DAYS IT DOES THIS AND SOME DAYS IT DOESN'T. ALSO SOMETIMES THE CRUISE CONTROL WORKS AND SOMETIMES IT DOESN'T. . ALSO SOMETIMES THE WIPERS STOP IN MID SWIPE. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
IN FEBRUARY OF 2012 I BEGAN TO NOTICE A VERY LARGE ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. I HAVE OWNED THIS CAR SINCE SEPTEMBER OF 2009 AND THIS HAS JUST BECOME AND ISSUE. LOOKED UP VEHICLE RECALLS AND CAME ACROSS THIS. SUMMARY: ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, A FUEL FILTER FITTING CAN BECOME DISCONNECTED. IF THIS WERE TO OCCUR WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE ENGINE, A NO-START CONDITION WOULD RESULT AND FUEL WOULD BE PUMPED OUT THE FUEL FILTER ONTO THE GROUND. CONSEQUENCE: IF THE FITTING BECOMES DISCONNECTED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, THE ENGINE WOULD STOP DUE TO INADEQUATE FUEL SUPPLY AND CAUSE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING ASSIST. IF AN IGNITION SOURCE WERE PRESENT, FUEL LEAKAGE FROM A DISCONNECTED FUEL FILTER FITTING COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. ACTIONS: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER QUICK CONNECT RETAINERS. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN SEPTEMBER 20, 2002. OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-222-1020. GMC AT 1-800-462-8782, OR OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-442-6537. FOR DETAILED INFORMATION & SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS, SEE THE OFFICIAL NHTSA PAGE CONCERNING RECALL #02V121000 GM SAID MY CAR WAS NOT ELIGABLE FOR REPAIR.

VISIBILITY
I TOOK MY CAR TO JAY AUTO MALL IN COLUMBUS GA. AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR THE FLAP ON THE WASHER FLAP THAT COVERS THE HOLE THAT DELIVERS THE WINDSHEILD WIPER FLUID TO CLEAN THE WINDSHEILD. I WAS TOLD THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAKDOWN THE COMPLETE DELIVERY SYSTEM OF THE WIPER FLUID TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DELIVERY SYSTEM WORKS FINE FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE. ALL I NEED IS A REPAIR OF THE WIPER FLAP ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. CAN YOU HELP ME?

I HAD THE FAN CLUTCH REPLACED INDEPENDENTLY AND THE LOUD NOISE CONTINUES AND A SLIGHT LOSS OF POWER AT TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND IT FEELS LIKE IT'S TAKING TOO LONG SHIFT INTO THE NEXT GEAR.

VISIBILITY, SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, AIR BAGS
RECALLS THAT ARE SERIOUSLY AFFECTING THE CAR'S SAFETY THAT CANNOT BE REPAIRED BECAUSE THE SERVICE CALL HAS CLOSED, BUT WAS BOUGHT THAT WAY WITHOUT KNOWING. THE WIPER MOTOR WORKS WHEN IT WANTS ON THE DRIVER SIDE, PREVENTING CLEAR SAFE VISION DURING RAIN, THE 4 WHEEL DRIVE IS STUCK IN 4 WD, THE FRONT SUSPENSION POSSIBLY CRACKED, THE HEADLIGHT DOESN'T FACE STRAIGHT ON THE ROAD, THE AIR BAG ON THE PASSENGER SIDE HAS DEFECT THAT IF DEPLOYED CAN CAUSE BODILY INJURY TO THE PASSENGER, LICENSE PLATE ONLY WORKS WHEN ITS SLAMMED SHUT, AND HAVE ISSUE WITH THE ELECTRICAL UNDER THE DASH THAT APPARENTLY FAILS TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARDS NO. 101, "CONTROL LOCATION, IDENTIFICATION, AND ILLUMINATION" AND NO. 208, "OCCUPANT CRASH PROTECTION..BUT YET GM WONT REPAIR IT !!! ALL OF THESE ARE PRIOR RECALLS, BUT BECAUSE I WASN'T THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND DIDN'T TAKE THE CAR IN WHEN THEY WERE FIRST ANNOUNCED, GM REFUSES TO MAKE MY ENVOY SAFE FROM CAUSING ME OR MY KIDS HARM. BECAUSE THE FIRST OWNER DIDN'T DO IT, OR BECAUSE ITS TOO LATE. IF A YEAR MAKE AND MODEL OF A CAR HAS A RECALL, WHY DOES IT MATTER WHEN THE ISSUE SURFACES, ITS OBVIOUSLY A CAUSE FOR CONCERN, WHY NOT REPAIR IT? *TR

SUSPENSION
REAR SUSPENSION FROM FACTORY IS A AIRBAG SYSTEM. I FOUND THE REAR OF MY CAR ONE DAY DROPPED TO THE FLOOR. I DROVE IT TO THE DEALER AND FOUND MYSELF NOT BEING ABLE TO GO THE SPEED LIMIT CAUSE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DROPPED WAS CAUSING A LOT OF BOUNCING AROUND. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THIS IS NOT A RECALL SO I WOULD HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET. THIS IS A ENGINEERING PROBLEM NOT A SERVICE CALL. *TR
