DRIVING ALONG RAPIDLY WITH REAR DEFROSTER ON AND BLADE WIPING WITH OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE OF ABOUT 0 DEGREES AND WITH A LOUD BLAST THE REAR WINDOW SUDDENLY EXPLODED LOUDLY INTO HUNDREDS OF PIECES FLINGING SHARDS OF GLASS INTO THE VEHICLE CAUSING ME TO ALMOST LOOSE CONTROL OF THE CAR INTO A SNOW BANK OR OPPOSING LANE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
GMC'S CAMPAIGN NUMBER IS 12180 FOR THIS ISSUE BUT WHEN I CALLED THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DIAGNOSIS AND REPAIR MYSELF. DRIVERS SIDE POWER WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK SWITCH STARTED RAPIDLY CLICKING AND SMOKING CAUSING DOOR LOCK CONTROL NOT TO WORK AND WINDOWS UNABLE TO ROLL DOWN TRAPPING PASSENGERS IN VEHICLE. SWITCH STARTED WORKING AGAIN THE NEXT DAY BUT IS NOW NOT WORKING OR PARTIALLY WORKING AGAIN. FUSE DID NOT BLOW. IF THIS SWITCH IS USED BY ACCIDENT IT WILL MAKE THE OTHER WINDOW SWITCHES NOT WORK FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME AND THEN THEY RANDOMLY START WORKING AGAIN. I HAVE SEARCHED THIS ISSUE ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND MODEL YEAR 2006 GMC ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER HAVE MANY REPORTS OF THIS ISSUE SINCE THEY WERE FIRST SOLD IN 2006 AND 2007. *TR

VISIBILITY:GLASS, SIDE/REAR
REAR WINDSHIELD/BACK WINDOW SHATTERED ON IT'S OWN WHILE PARKED IN PARKING LOT. COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY OR WHAT HAD CAUSED THIS TO HAPPEN. TOOK THE VEHICLE TO SHOP FOR WINDSHIELD TO BE REPLACED, AND WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR TO LEAVE THE SHOP THE REAR WINDSHIELD SHATTERED AGAIN. MY DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT AT THE TIME AND THIS SCARED THE CRAP OUT OF BOTH OF US. THE SHOP COULD NOT BELIEVE THIS AND REPLACED THE WINDOW FOR A 2ND TIME. WHEN I GOT HOME I GOOGLED 'GMC ENVOY, REAR WINDOW' AND SEE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY OTHERS WITH ENVOYS OF DIFFERENT YEAR MODELS. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO HERE FOR THE SAFETY OF THOSE OF US DRIVING THESE VEHICLES. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I TRIED TO UNLOCK MY CAR DOORS WITH THE KEY FOB. ALL OTHER DOORS UNLOCKED EXCEPT DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR. I MANUALLY UNLOCKED IT AND NOTICED AN ODOR THAT SMELLED "HOT". I PROCEEDED TO TURN ON MY CAR AND TRY TO ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN WHICH SUDDENLY WOULD NOT WORK. THE ENTIRE PANEL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE DOOR WOULD NOT FUNCTION. I DROVE ABOUT .3 MILES AND MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW STARTED TO GO DOWN AND THEN IT STOPPED IT DID THIS AGAIN AND THEN THE ENTIRE WINDOW WENT DOWN AND I HEARD A TINY "POOF' AND SMOKE STARTED BARRELING OUT OF THE ENTIRE DOOR PANEL. I IMMEDIATELY THREW MY CAR INTO PARK, TURNED IT OFF, OPENED THE DOOR, JUMPED OUT AND TURNED ON THE HAZARD LIGHTS. CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT AND BY THE TIME THEY ARRIVED THE SMOKE HAD GONE AWAY THEY TRIED TO START IT AND IT TURNED OVER VERY QUICKLY, TOO QUICKLY THAT THE FIREMAN MADE A COMMENT ABOUT IT. IT WOULD NOT START. THEN HE TRIED AGAIN AND IT WOULD DO NOTHING. HAD IT TOWED. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
FUEL GAUGE REGISTERS EMPTY AFTER FILLING TANK. LIGHT & SOUND SENSORS INDICATE LOW FUEL LEVEL. FUEL MUST DRAIN SLOWLY INTO TANK OR GAS PUMP SHUTS OFF. ELECTRICAL DASH INDICATORS DO NOT WORK FOR A TIME AFTER FUELING SO CANNOT SET THE TRIP INDICATOR TO GAUGE THE MILEAGE TO A TANK OF GAS. FUEL ON OCCASION DOES NOT SHUT OFF AT THE GAS PUMP WHEN TANK IS FULL. *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
GAS GAUGE CONTINUOUSLY FLUCTUATES BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL EVEN WITH A FULL TANK, THIS ALSO CAUSES THE ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THERE HAS BEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT A RECALL HAS YET TO BE ISSUED. CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID THEY WILL COVER HALF THE COST. WHY NOT THE WHOLE COST SINCE THIS ISSUE IS SO PREVALENT? *TR
