EXTERIOR LIGHTING
MY LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT STAY ON AND SOMETIMES CANNOT BE TURNED ON. PROBLEM HAS EXISTED INTERMITTENTLY FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. NOW IT IS A CONSTANT PROBLEM. TOTALLY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY CAR IS SILVER AND BLENDS INTO THE ROAD. DEALER SAYS MY VIN IS NOT INCLUDED IN CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS PROBLEM. I NEED IT FIXED.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I HAVE 2006 GMC ENVOY, WHOLE DOOR PANEL WENT OUT BEFORE RECALL, SO WE PAID $2000 AND HAD FIXED, WHEN RECALL CAME OUT, THEY REIMBURSED US. BUT BECAUSE RECALL WASN'T OUT YET I AM THINKING THEY PUT OLD PART IN, THIS WAS AROUND 2008. YOU CANNOT DRIVE A CAR SAFELY WITH NOTHING WORKING ON DRIVER DOOR, I HAVE KIDS IN BACK I NEED WINDOW LOCK, CAN'T OPEN MY DOOR OR WINDOW IF EMERGENCY HAPPENED. VERY FRUSTRATING. I GOT A LETTER IN AUGUST 2015 STATING THAT RECALL #12180 DRIVER DOOR SWITCH SHORT CIRCUIT RECALL HAD NOT BEEN DONE ON MY CAR YET. AND APPROXIMATELY A WEEK LATER IT WENT OUT, I HAD BEEN GETTING THESE CARDS BUT BECAUSE I HAD IT DONE IN 2008 I ASSUMED IT WAS FINE, BUT NOW DOING EXACT SAME THING, SO THE GMC RECALL CARD SAYS TAKE TO GARBER GMC IN GREEN COVE SPRINGS, FL AND WILL FIX FOR FREE, FIRST TIME I TOOK IT UP THERE THEY SAID PART NOT LISTED ON COMPUTER SO CAN'T DO IT CAUSE GMC WON'T PAY THEM BACK, THEN GOT SERVICE MGR INVOLVED AND HE SAID BRING IT UP AND HE WILL CHARGE ME $90 TO DIAGNOSE IT, I SAID I DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. HE WAIVED IT TO SEE IF IT WAS THE RECALL PART, WHEN I CALLED TO CHECK ON IT THE SERVICE MAN THAT HANDLED IT SAID IT WAS THAT PART BUT THE RECALL HAD CLOSED, MY CAR HAD TOO MANY MILES ON IT, ETC.. WHAT DOES THAT MATTER? I KNOW IT IS THE SAME PART, IT IS DOING THE SAME THING. THEN I GET FROM SERVICE MANAGER WE WILL DO FOR $500.00, WHEN FIRST TIME COST US $2000, MY HUSBAND SAID NO, WE HAVE CARD HERE SAYING THIS IS RECALL AND YOU WILL FIX FOR NO CHARGE, NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT ISN'T THAT PART, I HAVE HAD SEVERAL STORIES, BUT IF IT WAS RECALLED THEY NEED TO FIX IT. WHETHER OR NOT IT WAS DONE BEFORE THE RECALL CAME OUT. THEY PROBABLY PUT OLD PART IN THEN, BECAUSE RECALL HAD NOT BEEN PUT OUT YET. PLEASE HELP ME GET MY CAR FIXED, VERY FRUSTRATING, DANGEROUS AS WELL. THANK YOU. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
VOSS CHEVROLET, DAYTON, OHIO, RETURNED MY ENVOY TO ME ON SEPTEMBER 2, 2015 WITHOUT REPAIR OF A DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION THREATENING SERIOUS INJURY TO ME OR OTHERS. IT IS A SUDDEN UNINTENDED ACCELERATION OCCURRING OVER SEVEN TIMES SPORADICALLY FROM JULY THRU AUGUST 2015 AS I HAVE SLOWED TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC INTERSECTION AND ALSO WHEN PULLING HEAD -IN TO PARKING SPACES. IT CAN ONLY BE STOPPED BY ABRUPTLY SWITCHING FROM DRIVE GEAR TO PARK OR NEUTRAL. I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE FOR JUST OVER 5 YEARS OF A 12- YEAR PERIOD WHILE ALSO DRIVING MY NON-GENERAL MOTORS VEHICLE. AS WELL, I HAVE DRIVEN A NEWLY PURCHASED VEHICLE SINCE APRIL 2014. I HAVE OWNED MANY VEHICLES OVER THE PAST 51 YEARS. I BOUGHT THE 2006 ENVOY FROM VOSS CHEVROLET AS A CERTIFIED VEHICLE,32,000 MILES, IN APRIL 2010. VOSS ELECTRONIC MONITORING CONFIRMED THE FACT THAT THE HIGH SPEED ACCELERATION ACTUALLY OCCURRED WHILE BRAKING, BUT THEY STATED WHEN THEIR SERVICE PERSON KEPT AND DROVE THE VEHICLE IT DID NOT OCCUR. GM (TAC) ADVISED THEM UNINTENDED ACCELERATION WAS "IMPOSSIBLE AND THE ONLY ANSWER" IS THAT I MUST BE USING TWO- FEET, HOLDING THE BRAKE AND ACCELERATOR DOWN SIMULTANEOUSLY. (THE VOSS ELECTRONIC CAMERA MONITOR THEY HAD GIVEN ME HAD SHOWN AN ACCELERATION EQUIVALENT TO ""80 MILES PER HOUR WHILE BRAKING OCCURRED! THAT IS ALSO DOCUMENTED.) (DESPITE NEVER A NEED TO USE TWO FEET, IN THIS SUV THE LEFT FOOT ALWAYS RESTS SOME DISTANCE AWAY ON A FOOT-REST NEAR THE DRIVER'S DOOR). I DO NOT FALSIFY MATTERS. MY BACKGROUND IS ONE OF INTEGRITY AND REACHING FACTUALLY SUPPORTED AND LOGICAL CONCLUSIONS ARISING FROM PROFESSIONAL DEMANDS OF A 41-YEAR CAREER AS AN ATTORNEY RECENTLY RETIRED AS A FEDERAL JUDGE.

ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2006 GMC ENVOY FROM AN AUTHORIZED GMC DEALER IN COLUMBUS, OH, ON 12/31/2014. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAK FEATURE. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON, AND THEN THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE FOR NO REASON, WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRAVELING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, SPENT LOTS OF MONEY, AND NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM. DUE TO THE STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONING, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT!

SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
WHILE ATTEMPTING A FULL STOP AFTER PULLING INTO PARKING LOT, VEHICLE WOULD NOT STOP, ABS CAME ON AND PREVENTED ENVOY FROM REACHING FULL STOP. HAD TO PUT VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL AND USE E-BRAKE. OCCURRED 4 MORE TIMES BEFORE I COULD TAKE FOR SERVICE. MECHANIC DIAGNOSED ISSUE WITH ABS SENSORS, ALTHOUGH SENSORS DID NOT REPORT AS FAULTY. ONLINE RESEARCH INDICATES THIS WAS A COMMON GM FAILURE FROM 02-08 IN TRUCKS IN AREAS WHERE SALT/SNOW IS PREVALENT. REMEDY WAS DISABLE TRACTION CONTROL AND ABS, CANT AFFORD TO REPLACE FRONT BEARINGS AND REAR SENSORS. PROBLEM ONLY OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, AND ONLY WHEN ATTEMPTING STOP FROM LOW INITIAL SPEEDS.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, VISIBILITY/WIPER, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WHILE SERVICING MY VEHICLE AT AN AUTHORIZED GM DEALERSHIP, I WAS NOTIFIED OF THE RECENT RECALL REGARDING HEADLAMPS WHICH GET HOT AND CAN FAIL. IT HAS BEEN NEARLY 8 MONTHS SINCE THAT RECALL WAS ISSUED, AND YET THERE REMAINS NO IDENTIFIABLE REMEDY OR SOLUTION AS TO HOW THEY WILL RESOLVE THE ISSUE AND REPAIR / REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE COMPONENTS.. ENTITLED TO SAFE VEHICLES, I AM UNSURE AS TO HOW OR WHY GM WOULD BELIEVE THAT 8 MONTHS TO NOT EVEN HAVE ANNOUNCED A SOLUTION IS AN ABSURDITY. AT THIS POINT, THE PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH THE MANUFACTURER HAS HAD TO DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A SOLUTION IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE AS A CONSUMER. I AM UNDER THE BELIEF THAT THEIR SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM IS SIMPLE, THEY ARE GOING LET THE VEHICLES AGE A FEW MORE YEARS AND HOPE BY THAT TIME, ADDITIONAL VEHICLES REQUIRING REPAIR WILL NO LONGER BE ON THE ROAD AND THE ISSUE WILL MAGICALLY GO AWAY. AS OWNERS OF THIS VEHICLE, I AM ENTITLED TO THE REMEDY AS PROMISED UNDER RECALL GM 14291, AND I DO NOT THINK THAT IT IS ACCEPTABLE FOR MANUFACTURERS TO SIT ON OPEN RECALLS FOR VEHICLES CURRENTLY ON OUR ROADWAYS WHICH HAVE BEEN ALREADY BEEN IDENTIFIED AS HAVING A SAFETY DEFECT IN NEED OF DEFECT REPLACEMENT OR REPAIR.
