ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I ROLLED MY WINDOW DOWN PART WAY AND IT WOULD NOT ROLL UP. THE WINDOW SWITCH ON THE DRIVER SIDE WHICH INCLUDES THE DOOR LOCK FOR THAT DOOR DID NOT WORK. MY KEY FOB WOULD NOT WORK ALSO. I HAVE BEEN HAVING OFF AND ON PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOW NOT WORKING PROPERLY BUT IT NEVER DID THIS. I HAD TO DRIVE 10 MILE TO MY LOCAL AUTO MECHANIC AND IT ALL OF A SUDDEN WORKED. I TOOK MY VEHICLE BACK TO MY MECHANIC TODAY 2/11/13 AND HE SAID I HAVE A DEFECTIVE SWITCH AND THAT THERE IS A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CONTACTED LUNGHAMMER GMC AND THEY SAID MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID I HAVE TO PAY $105.00 FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT AND MAYBE WE CAN GET GM TO DO SOMETHING. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, I NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WAS NO LONGER MEASURING MY SPEED, AND WAS STUCK ON 70MPH. THE NEEDLE REMAINED THERE, OCCASIONALLY LOWERING ITSELF IN 5MPH INCREMENTS AFTER RESTARTING THE ENGINE, BUT THEN GETTING STUCK AGAIN WHEN DRIVING. THE NEEDLE GENERALLY BURIES ITSELF AT 120+ AND DOES NOT READJUST EVEN BY SMALL INCREMENTS ANYMORE. MY FUEL GAUGE IS ALSO NOT WORKING, READS ON E REGARDLESS OF HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN THE TANK, I WONDER IF THESE TWO PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED? *TR

STEERING, WHEELS, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
DRIVING AROUND A CORNER, WHEELS LOCKED UP, SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT WENT ON, STEERING WHEEL UNRESPONSIVE TO TURNING. WENT TO A SHOPPING CENTER AND WAS UNABLE TO GET OUT OF PARKING SPACE AS WHEELS LOCKED UP AND VEHICLE WOULDN'T TURN. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL. THE SERVICE STABILITRACK LIGHT ON DASH CAN GO ON AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVING. THIS CAN BE DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO TURN ON A BUSY STREET AND NOTHING HAPPENS. IT FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE STEERING WHEEL, BRAKES AND WHEELS. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ENGINE
I HAD JUST PURCHASED MY ENVOY A FEW DAYS PRIOR AND WAS ON MY WAY TO GET GAS. THE FUEL WAS LOW BUT THE FUEL LIGHT WAS NOT ON. WHEN I STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, MY ENVOY DIED. THIS HAPPENED AT EVERY STOPLIGHT UNTIL I PUT GAS IN IT. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE THEN. IT HAPPENS ANYTIME MY VEHICLE IS BETWEEN 1/4 TANK & EMPTY. THE FUEL LIGHT IS NOT ON WHEN THIS OCCURS. IT ALMOST SEEMS AS IF THERE IS NOT AS MUCH GAS IN IT AS THE FUEL GAUGE READS. IT HAS ONLY STOPPED ONE TIME WHILE I WAS ACTUALLY MOVING (AS I WAS COMING DOWN A RAMP TO GET ON THE INTERSTATE). IT DID NOT START BACK UP IMMEDIATELY WHEN I ATTEMPTED TO RESTART IT THAT TIME, BUT TOOK SEVERAL TRIES BEFORE IT STARTED. IT WILL LITERALLY DIE EVERY TIME I STOP UNTIL I PUT GAS IN IT. THERE HAVE ALSO BEEN A FEW TIMES WHERE I HAVE SLOWED FOR A RED LIGHT, THEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN SO I WENT TO ACCELERATE AND THE VEHICLE EITHER SPUTTERED AND FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT GETTING GAS, OR DIED COMPLETELY. LUCKILY, MOST TIMES I CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL & GET IT TO START RIGHT BACK UP WITHOUT HAVING TO PULL OVER. HOWEVER, I FEEL THAT HIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE FOR MYSELF & THE OTHER MOTORISTS TRAVELING BEHIND ME AS I TRAVEL VERY BUSY ROADS ON MY WAY TO AND FROM WORK. I HAVE LEARNED TO KEEP THE FUEL ABOVE 1/4 TANK BUT THE WAY THIS THING BURNS GAS, IT DOES GET LOW FROM TIME TO TIME BEFORE I GET TO THE GAS STATION. I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S A FUEL SYSTEM ISSUE OR IF THE GAS GAUGE IS INCORRECT BUT THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE IT IS DEFINITELY A HAZARD FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS. ADDITIONALLY, EVERYTIME I START MY VEHICLE SINCE IT HAS GOTTEN COLD, IT IDLES VERY HIGH - LIKE A LOUD HIGH PITCHED WHIRRING NOISE. IT THEN GOES VERY LOW AND ALMOST SPUTTERS. IT DOES THIS SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE LEVELING OFF AND SOUNDING 'NORMAL'. AGAIN, I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS A GAS OR ENGINE ISSUE BUT I FEEL LIKE IT IS NOT GETTING GAS. *TR
