AIR CONDITION BLOWER MOTOR CAUGHT FIRE IN DASH AND BURNT THE VEHICLE

ON 10/24/2018 WHILE DRIVING MY 2008 GMC ENVOY SLT, I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD-ON COLLISION WHICH RESULTED IN MY CAR BEING TOTALED. NONE OF MY AIR BAGS DEPLOYED.

FIRE UNDER THE HOOD STARTED, ENTIRE CAR BURNED IN DRIVEWAY, DAMAGING HOUSE AND A SECOND CAR

MY VEHICLE JUST SUDDENLY STOPPED DEAD, IN THE ROAD AFTER LEAVING MY RESIDENCE AND ALL CONTROL WAS LOST. UNABLE TO PUT TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL TO PUSH VEHICLE OFF ROAD. I HAD IT REPAIRED BY A TRAINED MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A FAULTY IGNITION. I HAD THE FAULTY IGNITION REPLACED AND THE VEHICLE WAS OPERATIONAL AGAIN ALONG WITH THE WORRY OF THIS HAPPENING AGAIN.

HAVE REPLACED RIGHT SIDE FRONT HUB ASSEMBLY TWICE, AND HAVE TO REPLACE IT A THIRD TIME, IN 4 YEAR'S. GETTING BEST PART FROM O'REILLY'S AUTO PARTS. VEHICLE IS MOVING, FEELS LIKE THE FRONT WHEEL IS GOING TO FLY OFF, SHAKING, WOBBLY, JUST TOTALLY UNSAFE

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR A YEAR AND IT'S HAD CONSTANT ISSUE WITH LOW BEAM LIGHTNING. WE REPLACED THE RELAY THINKING IT WAS THE PROBLEM BUT MECHANIC SAID IT WAS AN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL. THIS CAR WAS MFG 1/08 AND I HONESTLY THINK IT WAS ASSEMBLED WITH THE 2017 PARTS THAT WERE RECALLED.

02.05.2018 -- WAS AT A SUPERBOWL PARTY AND MY CAR WAS PARKED FOR 5 HOURS OUTSIDE, IT WAS ABOUT 20 DEGREES. HAD A 10 MINUTE DRIVE HOME - PARKED CAR IN GARAGE AND SHUT THE GARAGE DOOR. WHILE DRIVING, I DID USE REAR DEFROSTER AND WIPER BLADE, AS THERE WAS SNOW ON BACK WINDOW AND IT WAS SNOWING. APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE,I HEARD A LOUD BLAST, LIKE SOMEONE DROVE THROUGH MY GARAGE DOOR. THE REAR WINDOW OF MY GMC ENVOY EXPLODED INTO MANY PIECES. GLASS WAS INSIDE AND OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE. MY GARAGE IS NOT HEATED. I HAVE NO IDEA HOW IT HAPPENED. I CALLED MY INSURANCE COMPANY IMMEDIATELY AND AM GOING TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A GMC DEALERSHIP TO HAVE IT FIXED.

THIS IS A VERY UNSAFE VEHICLE. I PURCHASED IT FOR MY HUSBAND AND HAVE SELDOM DROVE UNTIL RECENTLY WHEN HE WAS INJURED DRIVING IT. HE DROVE THROUGH OUR GARAGE AND DEMOLISHED IT. I HOW DRIVE IT AND FIND THE BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS THE WORST PROBLEM. NO MATTER WHAT SHOES OR BOOTS YOU ARE WEARING YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE. IT HAS COST US THOUSANDS IN DAMAGE AND REPAIRS. I DO NOT HAVE PICTURES, BUT WILL OBTAIN THEM AND FORWARD THEM. THE CAR WAS JUST PULLING UP TO BE PARKED OUTSIDE BY OUT GARAGE WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURED. THE WEATHER WAS FINE-AUGUST 2017. IT WAS JUST GETTING DARK. THIS VEHICLE SHOULD BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD ASAP UNTIL IT IS REPAIRED OR REPLACED BY GMC. MY SON DRIVES A USED GMC AND IT HAS NONE OF THESE PROBLEMS. THE PICTURE I AM SENDING YOU IS OF (BEN), A TECHNICIAN AT BRETTING MANUFACTURING, INC. IN ASHLAND. BEN HAS ALSO BUILT DIRT TRACK RACE CARS AND I HAVE BUILT JOHN DEERE COMBINES.

WE HAVE A 2008 ENVOY. WE BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW IN 2008. THE IGNITION SWITCH HAS QUIT US 5 TIMES. WE USUALLY HAVE SOME WARNING. THE FIRST 3 TIMES , THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON BUT I COULD EVENTUALLY START THE CAR AND DRIVE IT TO A MECHANIC TO BE CHECKED OUT. THE 4TH TIME WE WERE HEADING OUT OF TOWN, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, MY HUSBAND PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CAR QUIT. WOULD NOT START, HAD TO TOW IT TO MECHANIC. THIS LAST TIME, NO WARNING, JUST QUIT AS I WAS DRIVING HOME. I WAS ABLE TO GET IT STARTED AFTER SITTING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET FOR 30 MINUTES OR SO, DROVE IT HOME, QUIT AGAIN AND HAD TO TOW IT TO MECHANIC. I AM AFRAID TO TAKE IT OUT ON THE HIGHWAY BY MYSELF. AFRAID THIS VEHICLE COULD CAUSE A WREAK, AND POSSIBLE KILL OR INJURE US OR OTHERS. THERE AREN'T VERY MANY MILES ON IT, SO IT IS NOT A WORN OUT VEHICLE.

MICHELIN LTX M/S 245/65R17 TIRES - ALL FOUR TIRES INDICATING CRACKING ON TREAD SURFACE. NOTIFIED DEALER JULY 27, 2017. DEALER CONTACTED MICHELIN INDICATING 60% TREAD LIFE REMAINING, AND REQUESTED RESOLUTION UNDER WARRANTY. MICHELIN OFFERED NEW COMPARABLE TIRES AT COST TO ME WHICH WAS GREATER THEN WHAT I ORIGINALLY PAID FOR THE TIRES THAT LASTED ONLY 40% OF THEIR TREAD LIFE. SO UNFAIR!! MICHELIN IS EXTREMELY UNSCRUPULOUS.

MY HEDLIGHTS IS NOT WORKING.AT NIGHT TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING.

I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC IN MAY STATING THERE MAY BE AN ISSUE WITH HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM) WHERE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WILL NOT WORK. AT THE TIME, MY HEADLAMPS WERE WORKING PROPERLY, SO THE LETTER ADVISED ME TO NOT TAKE MY VEHICLE TO MY GMC DEALER. HOWEVER, TWO DAYS AGO MY HEADLAMPS DID NOT WORK AT NIGHT WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS CAUSED A SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE AS I COULD NOT SEE THE ROAD CLEARLY. I TOOK MY VEHICLE AND THE LETTER I RECEIVED TO MY GMC DEALER. THEY ADVISED ME THAT GMC WOULD NOT PAY TO FIX THE HEADLAMP PROBLEM AS I HAD MORE THAN 150,000 MILES IN A SITUATION WHERE CUSTOMER SAFETY IS INVOLVED, I BELIEVE GMC SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I HAD TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS OUT-OF-POCKET. I STRONGLY BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE INITIATED BY THE MANUFACTURER TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT FOR MULTIPLE ACCIDENTS AND TRAFFIC FATALITIES TO PROMPT A RECALL FOR AN IMPORTANT SAFETY FEATURE ON A VEHICLE.

I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NHTSA, COMPLAINT 10923972, ON 11/3/2016 REFERENCING MY DIM LIGHTS SPONTANEOUSLY GOING OUT AT NIGHT DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. I HAD RESEARCHED THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL BECAUSE OF THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE FAILING, BUT MY 2008 GMC ENVOY WAS NOT INCLUDED. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC THE END OF MAY 2017 PROVIDING ADDITIONAL PROTECTION FOR THIS PROBLEM AND IT WAS WORDED "IF THIS CONDITION "OCCURS" ON YOUR 2008 GMC ENVOY WITHIN 12 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES THE CONDITION WOULD BE REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE." WHEN I RECEIVED THE MAY 2017 LETTER MY VEHICLE HAD 152,000 MILES ON IT BUT WHEN I FILED THE COMPLAINT IN NOVEMBER 2016 IT HAD 142,000 MILES ON IT. GMC REFUSED TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE UNDER THE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION BECAUSE OF CURRENT MILEAGE EVEN THOUGH I HAD PROOF THE CONDITION "OCCURRED" AT 142,000 MILES.

I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS WENT OUT. THEY JUST WENT OFF. PANICKING, I PULLED OFF THE ROAD AND TRIED TURNING THEM OFF AND ON. TESTING, MY HIGH BEAMS WORKED, BUT MY LOWS WERE OFF. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND WAITED A FEW MINUTES. ONCE TURNED BACK ON, MY LIGHTS WORKED. THIS THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED, THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND THERE IS NO RHYME OR REASON AND YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. I HAVE SEEN THIS SAME ISSUE WITH A YEAR EARLIER AND WONDER IF THE PROBLEM EXTENDS TO NEWER MODELS. THIS RECALL SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO 2008 AS IT APPEARS MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. I HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS AND REPLACED HEADLAMPS...THE PROBLEM PERSISTS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ENVOY. WHEN THE CONTACT STARTED THE VEHICLE, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DID NOT WORK. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME USING THE HIGH BEAMS. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE TWO OTHER TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING, BUT NO FAILURES WERE FOUND. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 119,000.

STABILITRACK LIGHT KEEP COMING ON

I WAS INVOLVED IN A HEAD ON COLLISION IN WHICH MY VEHICLE STRUCK TWO VEHICLES. THE FIRST VEHICLE MADE AN ILLEGAL LEFT HAND TURN IN FRONT OF MY VEHICLE AT A LIGHTED INTERSECTION. I WAS TRAVELING AT AN APPROXIMATE SPEED OF 50MPH ON A HIGHWAY INTERSECTION (POSTED SPEED LIMIT 55MPH). THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY VEHICLE STRUCK THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE OF THE FIRST VEHICLE (BLACK SEDAN PICTURED). MY VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STRIKE A SECOND VEHICLE (PICKUP IN PICTURE) THAT WAS STOPPED AT THE RED LIGHT OF THE CROSS STREET. MY SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHILE THE FRONT AIRBAG DID NOT DEPLOY. SHOULD THE FRONT AIRBAG HAVE DEPLOYED? THERE WERE NO SERIOUS INJURIES, WHICH I AM GRATEFUL FOR, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN TO SOMEONE ELSE. CRASH REPORT NUMBER 87-0070-87 IN WOOD COUNTY OHIO.

WHILE OPERATING THE 2008 GMC ENVOY ON AN INTERSTATE I OBSERVED WHAT APPEARED TO BE A LACK OF LIGHT WHEN THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE TURNED ON. I DROVE TO A REST AREA AND CONFIRMED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE INOPERATIVE. THE BULBS WERE REMOVED AND BOTH BULB FILAMENTS APPEARED INTACT. FUSES, BREAKERS AND RELAYS WERE CHECKED FOR SECURE SEATING. THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE OPERATIVE AND ALL OTHER LIGHTS FUNCTIONED. I AM AWARE OF DOCUMENTATION THAT COVERS THE ISSUE BUT ONLY UP TO THE 2007 MODEL YEAR. THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS ON FILE DESCRIBING SIMILAR ISSUES. THE UNSAFE CONDITION THAT RESULTED WAS THE ABSENCE OF FORWARD LIGHTING WHILE OPERATING A MOTOR VEHICLE DURING TIMES THAT LIGHTING SHOULD BE USED. IT IS MY BELIEF THAT A SOLID STATE RELAY, DELCO PART NUMBER 15016745, IN THE #46 POSITION IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT FUSE PANEL, IS APPARENTLY THE CAUSE OF THE LIGHTING FAILURE. NO INJURIES, OR DAMAGES RESULTED FROM THE IN OPERATIVE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT ISSUE.

"TAKATA RECALL" WHEN I FIRST START THE CAR AND BEGIN TO ACCELERATE THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATES CAUSING LOSE OF POWER - VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. I HAVE TO DISENGAGE THE SYSTEM ON THE SHIFT HANDLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. I AM ALSO EXPERIENCING THE ABS PROBLEM OF ACTIVATION WHEN COMING TO A STOP IN ALL CONDITIONS. IT IS ALREADY A RECALL FOR GMC VEHICLES UP TO 2004 BUT OBVIOUSLY NOT CORRECTED. THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM ACTIVATES EVERY TIME AFTER FIRST STARTING THE CAR. THE ABS SYSTEM IS SPORATIC. NO WARNING THAT IT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN. THESE SYSTEMS FAIL DAILY WITHOUT EXCEPTION.

MY DIM LIGHTS HAVE QUIT WORKING RECENTLY ON MY 2008 GMC ENVOY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY. HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES SO FAR. LAST TIME WAS 11/2/16. BRIGHT LIGHTS STILL WORK. I FOUND A GMC RECALL ON YEARS 2006-2007 REF THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE WHICH CAUSES THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THEY SHOULD INCLUDE THIS YEAR ALSO. EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A RANDOM ELECTRICAL SHORT AND THE LOW BEAMS FAILED TO ILLUMINATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO CHANGED THE LOW BEAMS, RELAY, SWITCH AND CHECKED THE FUSES, BUT THE LOW BEAMS CONTINUED TO RANDOMLY SHORT WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO PREVENT THE RANDOM FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER PROVIDED NO SOLUTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAMPAIGN ID 14V-755. MY VIN DOES NOT FALL UNDER THIS CAMPAIGN OR GM RECALL. I AM HAVING THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE WITH THE LOW BEAMS SHUTTING OFF AT NIGHT AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE. VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION.

LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT WHILE DRIVING IN MOTION. ON THE HIGHWAY IN THE NIGHT REPLACE RELAY AND LOW BEAM LIGHT AS INSTRUCTED BY DEALERSHIP WITHOUT SUCCESS LIGHT STILL WILL NOT COME ON

ABS ACTIVATES FOR NO REASON. IT HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS WHEN I AM COMING TO A STOP. IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ENVOY. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC TO BE DIAGNOSED.

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 98,000. MA 10/19/15 UPDATED 3/21/2016*JS *CN

I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND PULLED THE KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION. THE CAR REMAINED RUNNING WITH THE KEY OUT AND IN ORDER TO SHUT IT OFF WE HAD TO POP THE HOOD AND PULL OUT A RELAY. WE THEN TRIED RESTARTING THE CAR AND IT STARTED WITH THE KEY TURNED BACKWARDS. IT WASN'T DRIVEABLE AT THIS TIME BECAUSE IT WAS SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. WE REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH AND IT WAS WORKING FOR A FEW DAYS AND NOW ITS BACK TO DOING THE SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING AT 55 MPH AT NIGHT, THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO ACTIVATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

I WAS IN AN AUTO ACCIDENT ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY AND UPON CRASHING MY AIRBAG DIDN'T DEPLOY AND MY FACE SMASHED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON. ACCORDING TO TESTS IT IS THE RESULT OF A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. THE LIGHT WILL STAY ON FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND THEN GO OFF FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS CREATING A ERROR MESSAGE THAT SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH THE ENGINE. WITH IT GOING ON AND COMING OFF IT IS NOW DIFFICULT FOR ME TO GET MY INSPECTION COMPLETED WITH THE SENSOR READING NOT BEING ACCURATE. *TR

ON OR ABOUT DEC 17, 2014, WE WERE LEAVING A SCHOOL FUNCTION AROUND 7 PM. THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS WENT OUT UNSUSPECTING; WE ONLY HAD ACCESS TO HIGH BEAM LIGHTS. WE STOPPED SEVERAL TIMES TO CHECK CONNECTIONS BUT NO RESULT. WE ALSO TURNED THE VEHICLE OFF/ON TO TRY AND RESET BUT NO RESULT. HAVE NOT HAD ANOTHER OCCURRENCE. WE LEARNED VIA NEWS THAT A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THIS PROBLEM ON 2006-2009 GMC ENVOY. COLONIAL AUTO CENTER GMC DEALER (CHARLOTTESVILLE) IS ADVISING THERE IS NO RECALL...THEY WERE CALLED ON 01/21/15. ALSO, A "SERVICE STIBI CONTROL" MESSAGE ALWAYS APPEARS. IT HAS BEEN CHECKED BY A COUPLE DEALERS. COLONIAL CHANGES A BOOSTER AND MESSAGE CONTINUES TO COME ON... *TR

MY STABILITRAC LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON. TOOK IT BACK TO DEALER WAS TOLD IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM. WHY HASN'T GMC ISSUED A RECALL. *TR

GMC USED CHEAP BOLTS ON THEIR V8 MOTOR'S EXHAUST MANIFOLDS. I HAVE TWO BROKEN BOLTS ON ONE SIDE AND 1 ON THE OTHER. CARR OF VANCOUVER GAVE ME A QUOTE OF $ 2374.00 PLUS TAX TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. THEY SAID IT WAS A WELL KNOWN PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THE V8 MOTORS BY GMC. I CONTACTED GMC AND THEY REFUSE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS. I HAVE RESEARCHED IT ON THE INTERNET AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE QUESTION ISN'T IF THIS WILL HAPPEN TO ONE OF THEIR VEHICLES BUT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN. IT IS SUCH A WIDE AND KNOWN PROBLEM A COMPANY HAS ACTUALLY MADE CAME OUT WITH A BRACKET TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A CONSUMER PROBLEM BUT IT SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER PROBLEM. I WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP. I FEEL THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE TO RECALL THESE DEFECTIVE BOLTS AND REPLACE THEM WITH THE RIGHT ONES. I AM NOT OUT FOR ANY KIND OF SETTLEMENT OR SCAM ALL I WANT IS MY ENVOY FIXED. KRAL AUTO PARTS MAKES THE BRACKET. HTTPS://WWW.KRALAUTOPARTS.COM. *TR

THERE ARE TIMES WHEN I DON'T KNOW IF MY VEHICLE WILL START. I PUT THE KEY IN AND SOMETIMES IT STARTS RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES, I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING AND TURNING AND WAIT UNTIL IT WILL CATCH ON. THERE WERE TIMES WHERE I HAD WAIT UP TO AN HOUR FOR MY CAR TO START. I NEVER KNOW WHEN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE AN INDICATOR WHEN THE VEHICLE WILL DECIDE TO START. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHEN IT WOULD WORK FINE FOR ONE MONTH WITH NO INCIDENT, THEN IT WILL NOT SWITCH ON. SEEMS LIKE WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE SHOP, THAT IS WHEN THE CAR DECIDES TO ACT RIGHT. AND THE SERVICE STABILITRAC LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE ONLY TO FIND OUT THAT I NEED A RACK AND PINION. I REALLY THINK THE IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE RECALLED. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ

WE WERE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35 MPH WHEN WE HEARD A POP AND THE LEFT REAR TIRE HAD BLEW APART IN THE TREAD AREA. VERY UNUSUAL. WE HIT NO HOLES. THE TIRES HAVE ABOUT 12,000 MILES ON THEM. GOODYEAR WRANGLER SR-A 255/75/17. OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON MY 2008 GMC ENVOY DENALI RANDOMLY TURN OFF BY THEMSELVES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME AND THEN TURN BACK ON THE NEXT DAY ONLY TO TURN OFF AGAIN. THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS. ALSO STABILITY TRACK SIGNAL COMES ON FOR NO PARTICULAR REASON. *TR

MY SERVICE STABILITRAK AND AIR BAG LIGHTS HAS BEEN ON SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO A MECHANIC AND THEY STATED THAT THEY DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM. I WAS WONDERING IF THIS IS AN ON-GOING ISSUE AND IF THERE ARE ANY RECALLS FOR THIS. *TR

OUR 2008 GMC ENVOY KEPT ON GETTING LOUDER AND LOUDER AS TIME WENT ON AND WHEN I WENT TO CHECK IT OUT I FOUND THAT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAD A CRACK IN IT ABOUT 3.5 INCHES LONG. IF FEEL THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL DO TO I CHANGED 3 OD THEM IN OTHER GMC ENVOYS IN THE LAST 6 MONTHS. I OWN A STATE INSPECTION REPAIR GARAGE IN PENNSYLVANIA.THIS IS A VERY POOR LAYOUT BY GM. ALSO THE SECONDARY AIR PUMP ON THIS SAME VEHICLE IS A COMMAND PROBLEM. AND THE WIPER SPRAY NOZZLE IS ALSO ANOTHER COMMAND POOR DESIGN. *TR

I WILL BE GOING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CAR WOULD JUST SHUT OFF ON ME.I WOULD HAVE TO KEEP TRYING TO START IT AND AFTER A FEW TIMES TRYING IT WOULD START.I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY OVER AND OVER A FEW TIMES TO GET THE IGNITION TO START.IT HAS STALLED ON ME 5 TIMES.SOME TIMES IT WILL CRANK RIGHT UP AND OTHER TIMES I HAVE TO KEEP TURNING THE KEY OVER AND OVER FOR IT TO CRANK.WHEN I TURN THE KEY IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING NO SOUND AT ALL.BUT IF I KEEP TRYING IT WOULD START UP.I HAD THE STARTER AND BATTERY CHECKED BUT THOSE WERE FINE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2008 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH THE REAR PASSENGER'S SIDE SEAT BELT FAILED TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE SEAT BELT MECHANISM WOULD NOT ALLOW THE SEAT BELT TO ADJUST AND WAS CUT IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PASSENGER. THE FAILURE OCCURRED ON FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A PRIVATE MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT SEAT BELT GEAR MECHANISM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 47,500.

ENGINE STALLED WHEN MAKING A TURN. LOST ALL POWDER THE DASH PANEL HAD NO LIGHT LIT UP.I HAD NO POWER STEERING AND NO POWER BRAKES. WAS ABLE TO CONTROL DUE TO LOW SPEED. TURNED KEY OFF AND THE IT RESTARTED WHEN KEY TURNED BACK ON. ON MARCH 19, 2014 TOOK IT TO BENNTT CHEVROLET BURICK FOR CHECK. THEY FOUND FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH AND IT FOR $259.88. THE 2008 ENVOYS WERE NOT ON THE RECALL LIST AND SOMEONE SHOULD CHECK ALL 2008 ENVOYS STILL ON THE ROAD. *TR

PASSENGER FRONT SEAT BELT DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY AFTER ATTACHING TO PROPER SEAT CONNECTOR SEAT BELT LOCKS UP AND NO FORWARD MOVEMENT IS ALLOWED IN NON EMERGENCY SITUATIONS. SEAT BELT MUST BE DETACHED AS IT IS IN A LOCKED POSITION. UPON UNLOCKING BELT RETURNS TO NORMAL ACTION. BELT MUST BE RECONNECTED AND POSITIONING MUST BE RETRIED SOMETIMES REQUIRING DISCONNECTION YET AGAIN. BELT WAS REPLACED AT OWNERS COST. REPLACEMENT BELT HAS THE SAME ISSUES BUT NOT AS FREQUENTLY AS ORIGINAL BELT. TOTAL COST TO OWNER APPROX. 500.00 AND NOT MUCH IMPROVEMENT IF ANY. I FEEL THIS CAN BE A SAFETY CONCERN ISSUE. VEHICLE CAN BE STATIONARY OR MOVING MAKES NO DIFFERENCE. *TR

PUMP FOR EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION,ALL WHEELS BEARINGS ARE BAD,. *TR

I STARTED MY VEHICLE IN THE AM AND IT MADE A LOUD MUFFLED NOISE. TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC AND HE SHOWED ME A PICTURE OF A CRACK IN TH EXHAUST MANIFOLD. I LOOKED ONLINE AND SAW RECALLS FOR OTHER YEARS AND MODELS FOR GMC AND CHEVY. I THINK THE 2008 CHEVY ENVOY SHOULD BE INCLUDED. IT SEEMS TO BE THAT THE MANIFOLD IS DEFECTIVE.

THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON. WHEN IT WAS PURCHASED THE LIGHT WAS OFF. IT WAS TAKEN IN FOR SERVICE BACK TO THE DEALER BEFORE THE 30 DAY WARRANTY WAS UP DUE TO RADIO ISSUES (BUZZ) THEY WORKED UNDER THE BACK SEAT ON A DEVICE AND UNDER THE DASH BELOW THE STEERING COLUMN TO RESOLVE. THE SOUND RETURNED AND THEY REPLACED A PART UNDER THE BACK SEAT. A FEW MONTHS LATER THESE NEW ISSUES STARTED. THE SERVICE AIR BAG LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON RECENTLY THE SERVICE STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT HAS STARTED. THIS IS INTERMITTENT. PLEASE ADVISE. FYI: THERE IS A FEW BULLETIN BOARDS WHERE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR
