WHEN I TURN ON MY RIGHT TURN SIGNAL MY HIGH BEAMS COME ON. THIS IS A NOT ONLY A SAFETY ISSUE BUT ALSO CAUSES ROAD RAGE ISSUES

LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID; VEHICLE STALLS WHILE DRIVING; AND LEAKS FROM INSIDE WINDOWS ONTO ELECTRICAL POWER SWITCHES AND FLOOR BOARS ON BOTH DRIVER''S SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE DOORS.

BOTH DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS AND HEADLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. WAS PULLED OVER FOR DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT. WIRES IN PASSENGER HEADLIGHT MELTED, DIDNT CHECK DRIVERS SIDE. THERE ARE RECALLS ON THE 06 ENVOY HEADLIGHTS, BUT I WAS INFORMED THAT IT DOESNT APPLY TO MY VIN. EVEN THOUGH I AM CAN NO LONGER DRIVE AT NIGHT DUE TO VEHICLE DEFECT

AIR IN AUTO LEVELING BLEEDS OFF AT NIGHT LEAVING EXTREMELY LOW CLEARANCE IN REAR SUSPENSION. SOME COMPRESSOR RUNNING DURING DRIVING, AND ASSUMING SOME LEAKING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION. REAR AIR BAGS REPLACED, SAME PROBLEMS EXIST.

I HAVE A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI THAT CAUGHT FIRE THIS MORNING, IT WAS AN ELECTRICAL FIRE, CAUSED IN THE HVAC BLOWER CIRCUIT, THE CIRCUIT FUSE DID NOT BLOW, THE CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE, AND AN OPEN FLAME WAS CREATED. I MANAGED TO PUT THE FIRE OUT, HOWEVER SOMEONE ELSE IN THIS SITUATION MIGHT NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN ABLE TO PULL OFF A BUSY HIGHWAY, LET ALONE EXTINGUISH THE FIRE AS IT WAS UNDER THE DASH BEHIND THE GLOVEBOX. THE SYMPTOMS BEFORE THE FIRE WERE AS FOLLOWS: 1)A FAINT BURNING ELECTRICS SMELL (ELECTRICAL SMOKE IS VERY DISTINCTIVE) 2)BLOWER QUIT RUNNING(WITHIN 30 SECONDS OF SMELL) 3)CABIN FILLED WITH SMOKE (WITHIN 1 MINUTE OF SMELL) TO THE POINT I COULD NOT SEE OUT THE WINDSHIELD 4)OPEN FLAME WAS PRESENT UNDER DASH (WITHIN 2 MINUTES OF SMELL) THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION, 50MPH, HEATING SYSTEM WAS RUNNING, OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE 5* FAHRENHEIT. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON FAILURE POINT AS THERE ARE MULTIPLE REPAIR KITS AVAILABLE WITH NEW WIRING CONNECTORS TO REPLACE DAMAGED ONES WHEN REPLACING SPEED RESISTOR THERE WERE NO PREVIOUS ISSUES WITH THE HVAC BLOWER MOTOR SYSTEM

STEERING WHEEL LOCKS. IT CANNOT BE TURNED TO THE RIGHT AS IT WILL CAUSE THE ENTIRE CARE TO SWERVE. WHEN REVERSING THE CAR TURNS IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION OF WHERE YOU ARE TURNING. I'M BACKING INTO TRAFFIC AND HAVE TO MANUALLY PULL THE STEERING WHEEL AS IF THERE IS A POWER STEERING ISSUE. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DAY AFTER PURCHASE INDICATING I NEED CATALYST CONVERTER AND SENSOR. NO WAY TO PREDICT WHICH WAY THE CAR WILL TURN. IF I HIT A BUMP THE CAR SWERVES TO THE RIGHT CAUSING ME TO SWERVE INTO NEXT LANE. IN MOTION I AM CONSTANTLY SWERVING INTO DANGER.

THE INITIAL TIME (3/14) IT OCCURRED, I WAS OUT OF TOWN WITH MY FAMILY, EMBARRASSED TO SAY THE LEAST. HOWEVER, MAINLY UNCOMFORTABLE, TIRED, AND FRUSTRATED BECAUSE MY 87 YEARS OLD DAD WAS STRANDED FOR HOURS AS WELL AS MY 66 YEARS OLD SISTER WHO IS RECOVERING FROM CANCER. THIS PROBLEM WAS A SERIOUS PROBLEM BECAUSE OF OUR LOCATION. WE HAD GONE TO GET DINNER AND ICE CREAM AFTER GETTING ICE CREAM WE BACK IN THE VEHICLE FOR IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED 911 NO POLICE EVER SHOWED NOR WOULD EVEN STOP TO ASSIST. AFTER 2 1/2 HOURS, WE CONTACTED A CHURCH MEMBER TO FIND OUT ABOUT A MECHANIC IN THE AREA THAT COULD POSSIBLY COME CHECK IT OUT. ANOTHER CHURCH MEMBER CAME TO CHECK IT FIRST, BY NOW 3 HOURS HAVE LAPSED AND THE VEHICLE STARTS. AFTER THIS IT HAS HAPPENED ON THREE (3) SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH ME (3/19, 3/20, & 3/21) BUT MY MECHANIC SAID IT HAPPENED WITH HIM 3 OR 4 TIMES WHILE HE WAS DRIVING IT TO CHECK IT OUT AND WHILE IT WAS SITTING JUST RUNNING NOT BEING DRIVEN. I WAS ON THE INTERSTATE ONCE, ONCE DRIVING, AND ONCE PARKED AND IT WOULD NOT START. THE TIMES I WAS BY MYSELF ONCE WAS ON THE INTERSTATE, ANOTHER WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION, AND ONCE WAS IN A HIGH CRIME AREA WHERE I FELT VERY UNSAFE FOR MY VEHICLE AND MYSELF. MY MECHANIC REPLACED THE CRANKSHAFT AND CAMSHAFT SENSORS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. I HAD A DIAGNOSTIC TEST PERFORMED BUT WAS TOLD THE ITEMS LISTED ON THE TEST 'MAY' BE THE PROBLEM. I HAVE ALSO HAD A PROBLEM WITH IT ACCELERATING WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE GAS IS NOT DISTRIBUTING PROPERLY. IT WAS AS IF IT WAS CHOKING UP AS IF THERE WAS A CLOG. A DANGEROUS PLACE TO BE IN TRAFFIC OR GOING ACROSS A RAILROAD TRACK, WHICH IT HAS OCCURRED SEVERAL TIMES WITH ME. I ACTUALLY WAS ALMOST REAR ENDED ON THE INTERSTATE.

LOOKED UP ISSUE ON YOUTUBE AND FOUND MANY VIDEOS OF THE SAME ISSUE AND THE VIDEOS SHOWED THEM HAVING TO REPLACE THE HEATER'S BLOWER MOTOR RESISTER. AS THE RESISTER WAS BEING REPLACED, WE NOTICED THE RESISTER WAS MELTED ONTO THE PLUG IT PLUGS INTO AND THE THICK RED WIRE WAS ALSO MELTED. RESISTER GOT REPLACED AND THE BLOWER SPEEDS ALL WORKED AGAIN. SHORTLY AFTER INSTALLATION OF THE NEW RESISTER, THE NUMBER 5 SPEED FAILED BUT ALL OTHERS CONTINUED.

I WAS DRIVING TO CHURCH ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY, IT WAS RAINING AND DARK SUDDENLY, MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT. I STOPPED AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND WHEN I TURN THE HIGH BEAM OFF AFTER 2 OR 3 MINUTES THE LOW BEAM CAME BACK ON. THE NEXT DAY THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN ON MY WAY FROM WORK, DRIVING DOWN A CITY STREET AND THEY JUST WENT OFF. I PULL OVER AND TURN THE HIGH BEAM ON AND OFF FOR SEVERAL MINUTES AND THEY CAME BACK ON. REALLY AFRAID NOW TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. I USED THIS VEHICLE FOR TRAVELING ON VACATIONS, NEVER HAD ANY PROBLEM WITH THE LIGHTS UNTIL NOW.

STABILITRAK

VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY.ENVOY SLT HAS SUN/MOON ROOF.WATER ON DRIVER & PASSENGER FLOOR.WATER RUNNING OUT FROM UNDER STEERING WHEEL FROM UNDER DASHBOARD.VERY CONCERN ABOUT ELECTRICAL DAMAGE & PROBLEMS.WATCHED SOME UTUBE VIDEOS SHOWING TROUBLE WITH DRAIN HOLES(4) FROM SUN/MOON ROOF BECOME CLOGGED WITH DEBRIE.

MY 2006 ENVOY DENALI'S LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE CUTTING OUT ON ME AT NIGHT. I'VE READ SEVERAL CASES ON THE INTERNET THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS. I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS SITUATION MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AT NIGHT UNEXPECTANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE VEHICLE AND REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH, THE PASSENGER SIDE REARVIEW MIRROR WOULD GO UP AND DOWN, THE FRONT DRIVER'S SEAT MOVED BACK INDEPENDENTLY, AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO USE THE DIMMER SWITCH TO TURN DOWN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL LIGHTING.

I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WITH NEW TIRES ON IT. EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR WAS STARTING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE TIRE BEFORE THE YEAR MARK OF ME PURCHASING IT. THERE WAS NO RECALLS OPEN ON THAT TIME THAT WE COULD FIND. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE FOG LIGHTS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. IT HAD ELECTRICAL SHORT THAT NO ONE SEEMED TO FIND AND THERE WAS NO WAY TO LOCATE WITHOUT EXPENSIVE DIAGNOSTIC TIME. WHEN I WENT TO THE DEALER ABOUT RECALLS THEY INFORMED ME THE ONLY OPEN WAS A WINDOW SWITCH. AFTER A FRONT END ACCIDENT AT 30 MPH THE TIRE BLEW OUT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE ON IMPACT. I WAS INFORMED IN MY ESTIMATE THAT THERE WAS A OPEN RECALL WHICH COULD LEAD TO INCORRECT RIM SELECTION / TIRES FOR THE CAR CAUSING AIR LEAKAGE AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT. IF I HAD KNOWN THIS BEFORE HAND MAYBE THIS COULD HAVE BEEN PREVENTED!

THE CAR WAS ON A RECALL BACK IN 2016. LETTER TOLD ME TO WAIT BECAUSE THE PART WAS BEING MADE AND WHEN IT BECAME AVAILABLE I WOULD BE NOTIFIED TO TAKE IT TO A GMC DEALER TO HAVE IT INSTALLED FREE OF CHARGE. THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD AND DASH LIGHTS WOULD DIM, GET BRIGHT OR GO OFF COMPLETELY JUST PRIOR TO THE PART BECOMING AVAILABLE. I TOOK IT IN ON JAN 12, 2017 TO HAVE THE RECALLED PART REPLACED. ON DEC 16, 2017 I HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SAID THEY WOULD HAVE TO DO A DIAGNOSTIC ($90.00). I CALLED GMC IN JAN 2018 AND TALKED WITH A SERVICE REPRESENATIVE AND HE REFUSED TO HELP ME IN ANY WAY. TOLD ME MY CAR IS 12 YEARS OLD (71,807 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY) AND I WAS ON MY OWN. EVEN ME EXPLAINING TO HIM THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE DOING THE SAME PROBLEM BEFORE THE HDM MODULE WAS REPLACED ON THE RECALL. THAT WENT IN ONE EAR AND OUT THE OTHER. HE BASICALLY TOLD ME TO HAVE A GOOD REST OF THE DAY. I CONTINUE TO HAVE THE PROBLEM AND DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR AT NIGHT, SO I AM STRANDED IN DOING EVENING GATHERINGS OR FESTIVITIES WITH FAMILY OR FRIENDS. IT WOULDN'T BE UNUSUAL FOR THE PART THEY REPLACED TO BECOME FAULTY SINCE THEY JUST HAD IT MADE FOR THE RECALL. THOUGH HE REALLY DIDN'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT MY ISSUE AT ALL. THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND HEADLIGHTS ARE ON WHEN THE PROBLEM HAPPENS.

MY HUSBAND AND I WERE TRAVELING WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITH NO WARNING AT ALL AND ALL THE DASH BOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESTART BUT WOULD TURN. THIS HAPPENED SATURDAY 9/2/17 ON A COUNTRY HIGHWAY OUT IN NOWHERE . WE CALLED A TOW TRUCK. THANK GOD FOR CELLPHONES. ON 11/12/2016 HUB BEARINGS REPLACED. 11/15/16 MODULE AND CONNECTOR REPLACED AND FUEL LEVEL SENSORS AND RING REPLACED. THREE YEARS AGO A/C WENT OUT. REPLACED.

AT EVERY FILLUP WE CAN SMELL GAS LIKE THERE IS A FUEL LEAK. I HAD A SHOP DO A FOG TEST AND THEY CONFIRMED A LEAK "SOMEWHERE FROM THE TOP OF THE TANK". THE TANK WOULD NEED TO BE DROPPED TO VISUALLY INSPECT AT A COST OF $400-$500 JUST FOR THE DROPPING OF THE TANK. THEN THERE WOULD BE ADDED COSTS TO REPAIR WHATEVER IS CAUSING THE LEAK AND SMELL OF GAS. AFTER HEARING THAT I CAME HOME TO START MY SEARCHING FOR RECALLS & SAFETY NOTICES TO FIND THAT GM HAD A NOTICE ISSUED AS WELL AS THE NHTSA, BUT IT SEEMS THEY CUT THE YEAR OFF AT 2004 & 120,000 MILES. ACCORDING TO THE THREAD BELOW, IT APPEARS THIS WAS EXTENDED TO VEHICLE UNDER 150,000 MILES WHICH WE ARE WELL UNDER, BUT WE DON'T HAVE A 2002-2004 MODEL. THREAD - HTTP://FORUMS.TRAILVOY.COM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=22530 VIN - [XXX] A VIN SEARCH FOR THIS ENVOY DIDN'T BRING UP THE FUEL LEAK ISSUES, BUT WE CAN SMELL GAS & CONFIRMED A LEAK EXISTS ON THE TOP OF THE TANK SOMEWHERE. WAS THIS PROBLEM EVER REPORTED FOR NEWER MODELS YET? INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

LAST NIGHT I NOTICED AT A STOP LIGHT THAT I DID NOT HAVE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. VERY DISCONCERTING. AFTER I MADE MY TURN TO EXIT THE BUSY STREET, THE HEADLIGHTS DID COME BACK ON. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH GM. IN FACT, MANY CARS WERE SELECTIVELY RECALLED ON THIS ISSUE. MINE WAS NOT. GRANTED, MY CAR IS 11 YEARS OLD WITH 157,000 MILES, I STILL BELIEVE GM AT SOME POINT SHOULD HAVE WARNED ME OF THIS SERIOUS AND DANGEROUS ISSUE. IT APPEARS I CAN EASILY FIX IT MYSELF WITH A $27 "MODULE" FROM AUTOZONE. NO ISSUES ON THE REPAIR AND PART. I JUST THINK HIGHLY IRRESPONSIBLE OF GM TO NOT NOTIFY ME OF THE POTENTIAL ISSUE. SHAME ON GM.

THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM WE ARE HAVING IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS AND WHAT DO WE DO ABOUT BOUGHT IT SECOND HAND, WAS TOLD IT WOULDNT HURT IT FOR THESE LIGHTS TO BE ON, HAS SAME PROBLEM DESCRIBED BELOW, IN MOTION WHEN TURNING STEERING WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT FEBRUARY 18, 2010 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10311697 COMPONENTS: TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM, ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10311697 INCIDENT DATE JANUARY 10, 2009 CONSUMER LOCATION DACULA, GA VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER 1GKDS13SX62**** SUMMARY OF COMPLAINT CRASHNO FIRENO INJURIES0 DEATHS0 SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT AND SERVICE ABS LIGHTS ARE ON.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND OR WHILE COMING TO A STOP THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS ITSELF OFF WITHOUT WARNING. EVERYTHING IN THE INSIDE STAYS ON, BUT YOU HAVE TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RE CRANK. THIS IS AN EXTREME SAFETY HAZARD AND NEEDS TO BE LOOKED INTO.

THE VEHICLE SHOWS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS ON EMPTY SHORTLY AFTER BEING FILLED UP. ALSO THE ENGINE WILL DIE AT RANDOMS TIMES DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. ALSO THE HEAD LAMPS FAIL AT RANDOM TIMES.

I AM SO SICK OF MY 06 GMC ENVOY XL. I TRULY GIVE UP. I HAD THE STABILITRAK AND REDUCED ENGINE LIGHT COME ON MY CAR FOR FIVE MONTHS. I HAVE REPLACED THE STEERING WHEEL SENSOR, THE THROTTLE BODY, AND HAD THE RELEARN THE IDLE THING DONE, TO NO AVAIL. THIS MAKES MY FOURTH TIME GOING TO THE DEALER, BECAUSE I THOUGHT THEY COULD FIX IT. I HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT GM. IF GOD BLESSES ME WITH ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY TO BUY A CAR, IT WILL NOT BE A GM. IT THROWS MY CAR OFF. I'VE HAD TO PULL OVER AND START THE CAR OVER A THOUSAND TIMES. I'VE SEEN MANY FORUMS ONLINE ABOUT THIS PROBLEM, BUT THERE IS NO RECALL? I'VE EVEN CALLED GM. I STILL HAD TO PAY MONEY. RESETTING THE COMPUTER HAS DONE ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. JUST WANTED TO RANT, BECAUSE BESIDES GIVING ME SOME OF MY MONEY BACK (TO THE TUNE OF A GRAND), WHAT CAN I DO?
