EXTERIOR LIGHTING
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN. 8/29/2012. I BOUGHT A USED 2003 GMC ENVOY XL SLE/SLT AND PURCHASED THE VEHICLE FROM SHERMAN OF SKOKIE IL. ABOUT THIS VEHICLE. THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT PIECE THAT COVERS THE TOP OF THE REAR WINDOW BASICALLY FELL OFF THE CAR ON A WINDY DAY. THE PLASTIC PIECE THAT HOLDS THE THIRD BRAKE LIGHT BROKE LEADING TO THE ENTIRE PIECE FALLING OFF HANGING BY THE 2 WIRES THAT CONNECT FOR POWER. I LIVE IN ALGONQUIN IL AND RECENTLY HAVE SEEN THREE OTHER ENVOYS WITH THE SAME MISSING THIRD LIGHT PIECE IN A PERIOD OF TWO WEEKS. I HAVE LOOKED UP RECALLS FOR THIS VEHICLE BUT SURPRISINGLY HAVE FOUND NONE. KNOWING I HAVE PERSONALLY SEEN SEVERAL ENVOYS WITH THE SAME MISSING THIRD LIGHT PIECE I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL. NOT ONLY IS THIS A SAFETY HAZARD BUT IT'S THE LAW TO HAVE A THIRD BRAKE LIGHT IN ILLINOIS. I HAVE NOT BROUGHT TO A DEALER SINCE THERE WAS NOT A RECALL AND I DO NOT HAVE THE OUT OF POCKET CASH TO PAY FOR THIS TO BE FIXED. RESPECTFULLY I WOULD LIKE THIS THIRD BRAKE LIGHT PIECE REPLACED AND FIXED AT NO COST TO ME. I DO HAVE THE THIRD LIGHT PIECE THAT FELL OFF TO GIVE BACK TO YOU SO YOU CAN INSPECT IT. I WOULD LIKE THIS FIXED WITHIN 30 DAYS OF RECEIVING THIS LETTER. I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT RESPONSE TO THIS SAFETY HAZARD AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. THIS IS THE LETTER I SENT GMC AND THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
I REQUIRED A JUMP START OF MY BATTERY FOR THE FIRST TIME OF MANY BECAUSE THERE IS AN ELECTRICAL SHORT IN MY INSTRUMENT PANEL TO INCLUDE THE FUNCTIONS OF THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. ACCORDING TO THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION "A SHORT IN THE CIRCUIT BOARD COULD LEAD TO A FIRE, INCREASING THE RISK OF PERSONAL INJURY" POSTED IN THE US NEW REPORTED BY KATIE LABARRE ON AUGUST 20, 2012. GM HAS ANNOUNCED A RECALL OF 250,000 SUV VEHICLES BECAUSE OF THIS BUT HAS YET TO NOTIFY ANY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. LAST YEAR I HAD TO DISPUTE THE FAULTY FUEL GAUGE AND NOW THIS. I'VE TRIED CONTACTING GM AND I AM CONSTANTLY BEING GIVEN THE RUN AROUND. GMC 2006 ENVOY XL IS A GARBAGE VEHICLE AND I REGRET THE DAY I EVER PURCHASED IT!!!! *TR

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, ENGINE
WHILE TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE THIS MORNING, THE SPEED ON MY 2006 GMC ENVOY DROPPED SUDDENLY AND I HAD TO PULL TO THE SIDE THE ROAD WHERE THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED. I NOTIFIED ONSTAR, WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND INDICATED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL DELIVERY SYSTEM. THE CAR WOULD START UP AGAIN, BUT ONLY MOMENTARILY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DIE AGAIN. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOME AND AM CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT IN TERMS OF REPAIR. THERE WAS ANOTHER ISSUE JUST OVER 2 MONTHS AGO WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT WORKING AND IT RAN OUT OF GAS. NO INDICATOR LIGHT EVER CAME ON. THERE WAS AT LEAST 15 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE VEHICLE TODAY, AS I HAD JUST FILLED IT UP A FEW DAYS AGO AND HAD NOT TRAVELED FAR. I HAVE FILLED IT UP EVERY WEEKEND SINCE THE INDICATOR LIGHT INCIDENT. ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO, I HAD TO REPLACE OTHER PARTS RELATED TO THE FUEL..POSSIBLY CALLED A FUEL REGULATOR?? WHICH WAS MOUNTED TO THE GAS TANK. THIS OCCURRED AT 37,000 MILES. I WAS DENIED AN INSPECTION STICKER BECAUSE OF AN ISSUE WITH EMISSIONS AND HAD TO REPLACE THAT PART AS WELL. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
GMC ENVOY XL - 2006 HAS POWERED DOWN THREE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. NO WARNING LIGHTS PRIOR TO THE POWER DOWN. THE VEHICLE SLOWS TO 15 WITHIN ABOUT 60 SECONDS. THE FIRST TIME, IN APPROXIMATELY 2008, I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TWO LANES TO THE BREAKDOWN LANE AND THE POWER CAME BACK ON WHILE I WAS STILL COASTING. I WAS TOLD BY GMC THAT WITHOUT THE LIGHT ON THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTHING. THE SECOND TIME IN EARLY 2012, THE SAME THING HAPPENED DURING RUSH HOUR - THERE WAS NO BREAKDOWN LANE. WHEN I WENT TO GMC THE LIGHT WENT OFF. I WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A USEFUL LIFE OF THE CAR AND IT WAS GETTING OLD (135,000) MILES AND I SHOULD REPLACE IT. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING. IT HAPPENED AGAIN LAST WEEK ON THE INTERSTATE. I BROUGHT MY CAR TO MY REGULAR MECHANIC, NON GMC, WHO COORDINATED WITH ANOTHER GMC DEALER FOR ME. THEY FIXED SOME CODES THEY SAID WERE A PROBLEM. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER HAVING THE CAR FOR 2 DAYS. THEY FIXED IT AGAIN. WE DON'T KNOW IF IT'S REALLY FIXED. THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM. GMC HAS NO IDEA WHAT THEY NEED TO DO TO FIX THIS. I HAVE NOT SEEN SERVICE BULLETINS THAT RELATE TO THIS. POWERING DOWN TO A SPEED BELOW MINIMUM SPEED ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY IS VERY DANGEROUS. I DO NOT TRUST THIS VEHICLE AND FEEL VERY UNSAFE IN IT. SOMEBODY NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
THE LIFTGATE OF MY 2006 GMC ENVOY XL CAME APART FROM THE BODY. THE TOP PLASTIC PIECE FIRST STARTED TO APPEAR NOT ALIGNED WITH THE ACTUAL LIFTGATE. THAT CONTINUED TO GET WORSE OVER TIME AND THE RUBBER MOLDING AROUND THE LIFTGATE BECAME WARPED. EVENTUALLY, WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THE WHOLE LIFTGATE WAS NOT ALIGNED AND I WAS HAVING ISSUES CLOSING IT. I HAD TO HAVE THE TOP MOLDING REPLACED, THE RUBBER REPLACED AND THE DOOR WELDED BACK ON PROPERLY. I WAS TOLD THAT WHATEVER HELD THE LIFTGATE ON WAS RUSTED. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
2006 GMC ENVOY XL. SINCE THE CAR WAS PURCHASED THERE HAVE BEEN REPEATED ISSUES WITH THE SERVICE LIGHTS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED REPEATEDLY THROUGH 2012 WHERE A VARIETY OF LIGHTS COME ON. SOME STOP THE CAR FROM STARTING... IN 2006, SERVICE STABILITRACK CONSISTENTLY COMES ON ALONG WITH 3-56 OTHER LIGHTS AT THE SAME TIME. I'VE BEEN TOLD THE CONNECTORS ARE DIRTY, THAT I NEEDED A BATTERY REPLACEMENT WHICH WAS UNTRUE. OTHER TIMES THE CAR HAS GONE FOR SERVICE, NOONE REALLY HAS THE RIGHT FIX. THERE IS SOMETHING WRONG WITH ALL THE SENSORS. *TR
