ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED RUNNING, PLACED SHIFT LEVER TO PARK POSITION. ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART. TRANSMISSION WAS NOW LOCKED IN PARK, CAUSING INABILITY TO PUSH VEHICLE TO SAFETY. REPAIR BY GMC DEALER INVOLVED REPAIRING ELECTRICAL SHORT IN FACTORY WIRING UNDER DASHBOARD AT THE FIREWALL, IN THE AREA OF THE BRAKE BOOSTER MOUNT.

PURCHASED A PRE-OWNED 2006 GMC ENVOY FROM AN AUTHORIZED GMC DEALER IN COLUMBUS, OH, ON 12/31/2014. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, THERE WERE CONSTANT PROBLEMS WITH THE STABILITRAK FEATURE. THE STABILITRAK LIGHT WOULD RANDOMLY COME ON, AND THEN THE ABS WOULD ENGAGE CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BRAKE FOR NO REASON, WHILE TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS ALSO HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS WHEN TRAVELING ON RESIDENTIAL STREETS. WE'VE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE SEVERAL TIMES, SPENT LOTS OF MONEY, AND NO ONE CAN FIND A PROBLEM. DUE TO THE STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY MALFUNCTIONING, IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. GM SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE AND ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THIS PROBLEM ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED IN AN ACCIDENT AS A RESULT OF THIS DEFECT!

TAKATA RECALL, GAS GAUGE WILL ONLY SHOW EMPTY.

WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. I TRIED MERGING ON TO A DIFFERENT LANE TO TAKE MY EXIT AND I REALIZED THAT THE STEERING ON MY VEHICLE WAS VERY STIFF. AS SOON AS I GOT OFF THE HIGHWAY I TRIED TURNING ON TO A SIDE STREET AND FOUND THAT STEERING THE VEHICLE WAS NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE. MY CAR HAS BEEN IN PARK FOR THE PAST FEW DAYS SINCE I AM UNABLE TO DRIVE IT. I WAITED ON TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC BECAUSE A FRIEND OF MINE SAID THERE MAY HAVE BEEN A RECALL ON THE POWER STEERING HOSE ON THIS VEHICLE. *TR

IN LOOKING ON LINE AT CERTAIN CONSUMER DATA AND SPEAKING TO LOCAL MECHANICS, ALL POINT TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THE GM SUV PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER & GMC ENVOY. *TR

HEADLIGHTS GO OUT. HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE DRIVING AND 1 TIME WOULD NOT COME ON WHEN VEHICLE WAS STARTED AT NIGHT. IF WE HAD NOT HAD FOG LIGHTS, WE COULD HAVE A BAD ACCIDENT OR AT VERY LEAST BEEN STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE HIGH BEAMS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET LIGHTS ON WAS TO HOLD THE FLASH-TO-PASS LIGHTS ON. I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER I STARTED DRIVING. I STOPPED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON 11/3/2014. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 GMC ENVOY DENALI. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE DOORS LOCKED INDEPENDENTLY AND WINDOWS FAILED TO OPEN. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE CONTACT RECEIVED AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL NOTIFICATION. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 72,000.

ENGINE STALLED A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING, THEN WOULD NOT CRANK, ONLY CLICKED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN FOR SERVICE. TECHNICIAN CHECKED BATTERY. IT WAS FULLY CHARGED AND VEHICLE HAD FULL VOLTAGE. DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED LOW VOLTAGE OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. RECOMMENDED IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE REPLACED. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE IGNITION SWITCHES IN THREE YEARS AT A TOTAL COST OF $817. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES ON SEVERAL MODELS BUT THE ENVOY IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. OBVIOUSLY MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES, WHY IS IT NOT PART OF THE RECALL? THE FIRST IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AT 65-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. SINCE THE REST OF THE ELECTRONICS ARE CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION I HAVE NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS AIR BAGS. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR

DRIVING AT 20 MILES AN HOUR AND HEAR A CRACKLING NOISE IN DRIVER DOOR PANEL. WINDOW ROLLED UP ON IT'S OWN, SIDE MIRRORS BEGAN TO READJUST THEMSELVES AND HEATED SEAT CAME ON. WHEN NOISE QUIT I HAD LOST ALL CONTROL OF PANEL CONTROLS. CALLED GM DEALER TO GET IT IN FOR THE RECALL ON MASTER SWITCH AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO PARTS OR REMEDY FROM GM AS OF YET. RECALL CAME OUT A COUPLE MONTHS AGO. CALLED ANOTHER DEALER AND TOLD THE SAME THING. I CALLED DIRECT TO GM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO SOLUTION AT THIS TIME. I HAD NO WINDOW CONTROL, CAR WILL NOT LOCK, SIDE MIRRORS POINTED DOWN TO GROUND SO I CAN'T USE THEM. I CALLED BACK AND ASKED WHY A RECALL WAS ISSUED WHEN THERE WERE NO REPLACEMENT PARTS ON A SAFETY ISSUE SUCH AS THIS. KIDS CAN OPEN DOORS, CAN'T CHANGE LANES ON HIGHWAY DO TO MIRRORS AND CAN'T USE WINDOWS. AS I CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE CRACKLING CAME BACK AND SEAT REHEATED, MIRRORS REPOSITIONED, AND WINDOW TRIES TO GO DOWN. I CALLED AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I COULD SET AN APPOINTMENT AND WOULD HAVE TO PAY UP FRONT AND THEN GET REIMBURSED FROM GM. I TOLD THEM I WOULD NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY WOULD REVIEW AND GET BACK WITH ME IN 24-48 HOURS. NOTHING SO FAR.THIS MORNING WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK THE NOISE STARTED AGAIN AND I LOST MY HEADLIGHTS, BLACK, NOTHING. SITTING AT A STOP SIGN TODAY, CAR RUNNING AND IN DRIVE, I LOST ALL DASH PANEL GAUGES FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS. CAR STILL RAN AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK. FEARFUL OF A WRECK AND HAVING KIDS IN THE CAR WITH NO SAFETY LOCKS. I CAN'T MANUALLY LOCK HATCH SO I AM AT RISK OF AN EASY BREAK IN AND I AM IN THE MEDICAL FIELD AND TRAVEL WITH SUPPLIES THAT MUST BE LOCKED UP. NEVER BY ANOTHER GMC SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE!!!! *TR

ONE EVENING WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE ON THE HIGHWAY, MY HEADLIGHTS CUT OFF. AT FIRST I DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL EVERYTHING JUST APPEARED DARKER THAN USUAL. I HAD TO SWITCH TO MY HIGH BEAMS TO FINISH THE TRAVEL TO MY DESTINATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED CONTINUOUSLY SINCE THEN. LIGHTS WILL COME ON AT THE START OF THE VEHICLE BUT SHUT DOWN IN NO SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF TIME. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THREE MECHANICS INCLUDING A GM DEALER AND THE VEHICLE LIGHTS STAYED ON DURING DIAGNOSIS. AS OF LAST NIGHT THE LIGHTS DID NOT COME ON AT ALL. I WILL BE RETURNING TO THE DEALERSHIP IN THE A.M IN HOPES THAT I MAY FIND A DIAGNOSIS AND THE SOLUTION. I CAN NO LONGER DRIVE MY VEHICLE AT NIGHT BECAUSE I HAVE ALREADY BEEN PULLED OVER BY THE POLICE FOR THIS ISSUE. *TR

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR RECALL FOR DRIVER MASTER SWITCH. WINDOW AND DOOR LOCK CONTINUE TO FAIL INTERMITTENTLY EVEN AFTER DEALER SAYS HE CORRECTED RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD A HISTORY OF WINDOWS, DOOR NOT WORKING AND HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES, PLEASE PUSH GMC TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THE LATEST LETTER STATING THIS VEHICLE MAY CATCH FIRE IS VERY CONCERNING.

WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR SHUT DOWN.HAD NO CONTROL OF BRAKES, STEERING .LUCKY I WAS GOING STRAIGHT .THIS IS THE SECOND 3RD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. *TR

THIS MORNING, MY WIFE WAS PARKING AT ONE OF OUR KID'S SCHOOLS WHEN THE TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILED TO RESPOND. SHE ATTEMPTED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK, BUT IT WOULD NOT INITIALLY. ONCE THE SHIFTER WOULD MOVE FORWARD, THE VEHICLE DIED, AND CONTINUED TO ROLL FORWARD EVEN THOUGH THE SHIFTER WAS POSITIONED AS IF IN PARK. SHE HAD THE PRESENCE OF MIND TO LET IT ROLL UNTIL STRIKING THE PARKING SPOT CEMENT BUMPER. SHE REMOVED THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION, THEN ATTEMPTED TO RESTART THE VEHICLE WITH NO SUCCESS AND THE SHIFTER BUTTON WOULD NOT DEPRESS. SHE PANICKED BECAUSE OF LOOSING CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE WITH SO MANY SMALL KIDS AROUND AND CALLED ME. I LEFT WORK, AND UPON ARRIVAL ATTEMPTED TO TROUBLESHOOT WHAT CAUSED THE INCIDENT. I STARTED AT THE SHIFTER, SO I LOOSENED ALL THE COVERS AROUND IT, IN CASE THERE WAS SOMETHING BINDING THE SHIFTER. I ACTUALLY DID FIND SEVERAL SMALL ITEMS THAT HAD FALLEN IN THE COMPARTMENT THROUGH THE FRONT EDGE OF THE CENTER CONSOLE COVER ASSEMBLY. REMOVING THESE ITEMS STILL DID NOT ALLOW RESTARTING OF THE VEHICLE. I THEN LOOKED UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE, AND DISCOVERED THAT THE LINKAGE FROM THE SHIFTER TO THE TRANSMISSION HAD SEPARATED. I MANIPULATED THE INPUT LEVER AT THE TRANSMISSION WITH MY HAND AND NOTICED THAT IT HAD MOVEMENT IN BOTH DIRECTIONS, WHICH MEANT THE TRANSMISSION WAS ACTUALLY NOT IN PARK. AFTER POSITIONING THE INPUT LEVER AT THE TRANSMISSION TO PARK, THE VEHICLE DID START. I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RECONNECTED THE SEPARATED LINKAGE. I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE THAT THE PIECE THAT MAINTAINS SUCH AN IMPORTANT LINKAGE CONNECTED APPEARS TO BE MADE FROM A PLASTIC. TO ME THIS IS A MAJOR ISSUE THAT CAN CAUSE SOMEONE TO POTENTIALLY HAVE A VEHICLE STUCK IN A MOVEMENT CAUSING GEAR, AND DUE TO A LINKAGE SEPARATION HAVE NO WAY TO PROPERLY TURN THE VEHICLE OFF (UNTIL IT RUNS OUT OF GAS), TO MADE FROM PLASTIC. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS. *TR
