I purchased a 2007 GMC Envoy from Premier Auto Sales in [XXX] in XXX. I put down $1,250 and I pay $500 a month, $250 bi-weekly. I owe $4767 left on the vehicle in total. A month or two after I bought the vehicle, my car started driving rough and not being able to handle small bumps without rocking violently. I took the vehicle to Jay's Auto Repair in [XXX] where the owner [XXX] placed the vehicle on a rack and lifted it up to identify the issue. Both rear control arms rusted off of the frame and had completely unattached. While handling this, [XXX] called me over to come look at the undercarriage of the vehicle to advise me that the vehicle's frame is completely rusted out, and is not safe for my [XXX] [XXX], or myself to be driving or riding in. [XXX] then advised me to contact the dealership to at least see if they'd be willing to trade the vehicle in, so I could be paying $500 a month for a drivable, reliable and safe vehicle for my family and I. The dealership gave me 4 or 5 options on just as mechanically unsound vehicles with extremely high mileage, but I'd still have to pay a rollover on my current rusted out frame vehicle because he'd only give me $2500 for it in credit to another vehicle. Once I expressed interest in a Dodge Journey Crossroad they had, the dealership owner [XXX] advised I'd have to put more money down to get a car that good, and reliable if I wanted to trade mine in due to the unsafe frame. Since this discussion, I still have the vehicle in my possession, however I have become $500 default in payments due to different repairs needing to be made on the vehicle itself INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

My switch on drivers door started on fire right after I purchased vehicle from third party. There was no warning I just smelled smoke while driving and pulled it out
While stopped at a light engine turned itself off with every warning light went off. Glad this didn’t happen with I was driving at highway speed as I lost all systems.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Envoy. The contact stated that the power switch used to adjust the front driver seat had failed to operate as needed. The contact stated that the power switch had been replaced a total of three times within a two-month time frame. Recently, the power switch had failed for a fourth time and as the contact went to replace the fuse, the fuse box was so hot that it burned the contact's right hand and left a blister. The contact did not seek any medical attention for the injury. Upon investigation, the contact discovered NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V406000 (Electrical System, Visibility) which was linked to the failure. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.
Headlights go out on there own and may come back on a few minutes later but right back out again. The vehicle had this as a recall but if it was repaired the repair is not working. The manufacturer is claiming the recall expired, obviously without them making contact to do the repair. Now they think it's good business practice to ignore their problem and put customers lives at risk.
