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.

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving 70 MPH, the headlamps became inoperable. There were no warning lights illuminated. The contact stated she turned on the hi-beam and was able to continue to drive the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to the dealer; however, the dealer did not diagnose the vehicle. The dealer advised the contact to bring the vehicle in whenever the failure reoccurred. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring intermittently while driving. The contact contacted a second dealer Poage Chevrolet (851 W Pearce Blvd, Wentzville, MO 63385) who advised the contact that her vehicle could not be repaired under NHTSA Campaign Number: 15V519000 (Exterior Lighting) since the VIN was not included in the recall. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 145,000.

NO LOW BEAMS OR RUNNING HEADLAMPS
Jan 11, 2020
WE HAVE A 2007 GMC ENVOY, INTERMITTENTLY OUR HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS WOULD CUT OFF AND ON, SOMETIMES WHILE WE HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN THE CITY AND ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOMETIMES RIGHT WHEN WE PUT THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE BEFORE WE MOVE. ABOUT A WEEK AGO THEY CUT OFF AND HAVE NOT EVER CUT BACK ON. WE FOUND ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE THAT THERE HAD BEEN A RECALL FOR THE HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LAMPS ON 2006 - 2007 GMC ENVOYS, THE RECALL IS FOR THE HEADLAMP MODULE. WE CONTACTED OUR LOCAL DEALER ABOUT GETTING THE RECALL REPAIRED BUT WERE TOLD OUR "VIN" WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. WE ALSO CONTACTED GM DIRECTLY AND SPENT OVER AN HOUR ON THE PHONE WITH THEIR CUSTOMER SUPPORT AS WELL AS A SUPERVISOR ONLY TO BE TOLD OVER AND OVER THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. WE TOOK OUR VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR SINCE IT IS ILLEGAL TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITHOUT HEADLIGHTS, AFTER THEY DIAGNOSED THE ISSUE WITH OUR 2007 GMC ENVOY THEY REPORTED THAT THE PROBLEM WITH OUR 2007 GMC ENVOY IS THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AS THE ONES THAT ARE COVERED IN THE RECALL, THE HEADLAMP MODULE IS BAD! WE ONCE AGAIN CALLED GM, GAVE THEM THE DIAGNOSES BUT ONCE AGAIN THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO! NEEDLESS TO SAY WE ARE BEYOND FRUSTRATED.

VEHICLES FUEL GAUGE WILL CONSTANTLY READ ANYWHERE FROM E TO FULL, ESPECIALLY AFTER FILL UP. NEVER KNOW EXACTLY WHAT AMOUNT OF FUEL IS IN VEHICLE. HAVE TO KEEP TRIP METER CLEARED AT EACH FILL UP TO MAKE AN ACCURATE GUESS AT HOW MANY MILES I HAVE LEFT IN THE TANK. SOMETIMES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL ALSO COME ON AT SAME TIME AS THE GAUGE FLUCTUATES CONSTANTLY. *TR
Jan 12, 2015
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT GASOLINE FUEL FUMES WERE EMITTED FROM INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING.

GENERAL MOTORS ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT-FUEL LEVEL SENSOR CONTACT WEAR NOTICE # 10054E TO COVER 100% OF REPLACING A MALFUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE. MY FUEL GAUGE MALFUNCTIONED AS OUTLINED IN THE NOTICE AND I HAD MY FUEL GAUGE REPAIRED AT MY OWN EXPENSE. WHEN I LEARNED OF THE SPECIAL COVERAGE, I COMPLETED THE GENERAL MOTORS PRODUCT FIELD ACTON CUSTOMER REIMBURSEMENT REQUEST FORM AND SENT THE REQUIRED COPIES OF RECEIPTS THAT SHOWED ALL REQUIRED INFORMATION TO HENDRICK GMC VIA FAX ON 9/13 AND HAND DELIVERED THE SAME INFORMATION ON 10/4. I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED MY REFUND FOR THE REPAIR I PAID FOR OUT OF POCKET. I HAVE CALLED AND E-MAILED THE GENERAL MANAGER OF HENDRICK GMC; I HAVE CALLED AND TRIED TO SPEAK TO HIM. I CALLED THE 800 NUMBER PROVIDED IN THE NOTIFICATION TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I HAVE LEFT MESSAGES FOR A TEAM LEADER AT THE CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER AND HE HAS NOT RETURNED MY CALLS NOR ARE THEY SENDING ME THE PROMISED REFUND. I BELIEVE THAT THIS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT IS JUST A WAY FOR GMC TO NOT TO HAVE TO ISSUE A RECALL, AND THEY ARE PICKING AND CHOOSING WHO THEY ARE REFUNDING. GMC SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO USE SUCH A DISHONEST PLOY TO AVOID PAYING TO REPAIR A DEFECT. *TR

NEARLY 2 MONTHS AGO I NOTICED THE GAS GAUGE IN MY VEHICLE GOING HAYWIRE. I WILL FILL THE TANK, AND WITHIN A MILE OR 2, THE GAUGE WILL DROP TO E, AND THE LIGHT WILL COME ON, BELL WILL SOUND, ETC. IT MAY OR MAY NOT ADJUST WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAPPENS CONSTANTLY, THE GAUGE IS SHOWING 1/2 FULL, THEN EMPTY, THEN 1/4 FULL. AT ANY GIVEN TIME, I HAVE NO WAY OF KNOWING HOW MUCH FUEL IS IN MY TANK. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID THAT I WILL RUN OUT WHILE DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE INTERSTATE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM A LITTLE ON THE INTERNET, AND FOUND MANY, MANY OTHERS WITH THIS PROBLEM. I FIRMLY BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL ISSUE. *TR
Apr 11, 2012
I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM GMC STATING THAT THEY HAD A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SENSOR ON MY VEHICLE, WOULD PAY HALF TO HAVE IT REPAIRED. WITHIN TWO WEEKS MY FUEL SENSOR GAUGE IS FLOATING FROM FULL TO EMPTY AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR EMISSION COMES ON WHEN THE FLOAT STARTS. WHY MUST I PAY FOR REPAIRS FOR SOMETHING THAT IS OBVIOUSLY DEFECT ON THE VEHICLE IF ALL OF THE OTHER COMPLAINT ARE ANYTHING TO GO BY?! *KB

I ROLLED MY DRIVER'S WINDOW DOWN THIS MORNING AND TRIED TO ROLL IT BACK UP AND IT ACTED LIKE IT DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK UP. IT STARTED TO GO UP AND THEN IT STOPPED AFTER A FEW SECONDS AND I TRIED HITTING THE BUTTON AGAIN AND NOTHING HAPPENED. THEN I HIT THE BUTTON AGAIN AND IT STARTED TO GO UP BUT VERY SLOWLY THEN IT STOPPED AGAIN. I DID THIS FOR A BIT UNTIL THE WINDOW WENT ALL THE WAY UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE OTHER TIMES ALSO. TODAY WAS THE 1ST TIME THAT IT REALLY DID NOT WANT TO GO BACK UP. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT AT THAT TIME.

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS MALFUNCTIONING GIVING ME ERRONEOUS HIGH AND LOW READINGS. I NOTICED IN AUGUST 2011, GM ISSUED A SPECIAL COVERAGE FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, HOWEVER IT WAS ONLY GOOD FOR 10 YEARS OR 120,000 MILES. MY ENVOY IS 11-1/2 YEARS OLD, BUT ONLY HAS APPROX. 87,500 MILES ON IT. SEEING THIS IS AN OBVIOUSLY SAFETY ISSUE WHICH HAS LED TO AT LEAST 1 KNOWN ACCIDENT, I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANYWAY THAT YOU CAN HELP ME GET GM TO EXTEND THE COVERAGE TO MY ENVOY? MY ENVOY ALSO RECENTLY HAD A SPECIAL COVERAGE INITIATED FOR THE HEADLAMP DRIVER MODULE (HDM). I WAS ABLE TO GET THAT FIXED BECAUSE GM ISSUED THE COVERAGE FOR A TOTAL OF 12 YEARS AND 150,000 MILES. SO THE PRECEDENT HAS BEEN SET TO PROVIDE COVERAGE FOR A VEHICLE MY AGE. ANY HELP THAT YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. THANK YOU.

Jun 16, 2016
MY FUEL GAGE SUDDENLY STOPPED WORKING ON MY 2007 GMC ENVOY. IT READ THAT I HAD 1/4 TANK LEFT, SO HEADED TO THE GAS STATION ON A CITY STREET. I TURNED THE ENVOY OFF, FOR ABOUT A 15 MINUTE STOP, AND WHEN I TURNED IT BACK ON, THE GAGE SAID IT WAS EMPTY. I FILLED THE TANK, AND IT STILL SAID IT WAS EMPTY, AND THE LIGHT IS ON. ABOUT 25 MILES LATER, THE GAGE POPPED UP TO 1/4 TANK , BUT QUICKLY DROPPED BACK DOWN TO READ AS EMPTY AGAIN. THE LIGHT STAYS ON NOW. ALL OTHER GAUGES ON THE DASHBOARD WORK PROPERLY. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ALSO CAME ON, AND IS STILL ON. I MADE SURE MY GAS CAP WAS ON PROPERLY, AND IT WAS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ON 12-30-15, SO I DO NOT KNOW IF THERE WERE ANY PREVIOUS ISSUES . MY 2007 ENVOY HAD 61,061 MILES ON IT WHEN THIS OCCURRED, ON 3-4-16.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM,EXTERIOR LIGHTING

THE DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS (DRL) AND THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS DO NOT LIGHT EVEN WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS PLACED IN THE 'HEADLIGHT' ON POSITION. TROUBLESHOOTING REVEALED THAT THIS FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) LOCATED BENEATH THE REAR SEAT. A DIGITAL LOGIC SIGNAL FROM THIS MODULE, BASED ON SENSOR INPUTS FROM THE AMBIENT LIGHT SENSOR, PARKING BRAKE AND WINDSHIELD WIPERS, IS PROVIDED TO THE UNDER-HOOD ELECTRONIC RELAY THAT ACTIVATES THE HEADLIGHTS. THERE ARE THREE POSSIBLE SIGNAL OUTPUTS FROM THE BCM...A LOGIC LOW (LIGHTS OFF), A LOGIC HIGH (LOW BEAMS FULL ON) OR A PULSE WIDTH MODULATED SIGNAL TO CREATE THE DIMMER DRL LOW BEAM INTENSITY. IF THE BCM FAILS, THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT TURN ON. THERE IS NO AFFIRMATIVE INPUT TO THE ELECTRONIC RELAY FROM THE LIGHT SWITCH, NOT ROUTED THROUGH THE BCM, TO ACTIVATE THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. WHEN THE BCM FAILS AT NIGHT, THE DRIVER HAS NO LOW BEAM HEADLAMPS. THE ONLY LIGHTS AVAILABLE ARE THE FOG LAMPS OR THE HIGH BEAM LAMPS, BUT ONLY AFTER SETTING THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH TO THE HEADLAMP POSITION. HEADLAMPS ARE A NECESSITY, NOT A OPTIONAL FEATURE. THEIR OPERATION SHOULD NOT RELY ON AN ELECTRONIC SUB-SYSTEM WHOSE FAILURE MODE PREVENTS THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FROM WORKING. THIS SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED THE 'EASY' WAY WITHOUT REGARDS TO VEHICLE SAFETY...NAMELY THAT WHEN THE DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH IS IN THE ON POSITION, THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ENABLED BY A SIGNAL DIRECTLY FROM THAT SWITCH. WITHOUT AN AFFIRMATIVE ENABLING SIGNAL FROM THE MANUAL DASHBOARD LIGHT SWITCH, THE SYSTEM AND VEHICLE OPERATOR IS AT THE MERCY OF THE BCM, WHICH COULD FAIL AT NIGHT OR ON THE WEEKEND (WHEN A REPAIR SHOP IS UNAVAILABLE) RENDERING THE VEHICLE DANGEROUS OR UN-DRIVEABLE.

AROUND 65,000 MILES THE FUEL GAUGE CONSISTENTLY FLUCTUATED WHILE DRIVING AND NOW NO LONGER WORKS. THIS RESULTED IN ME BEING STRANDED IN A MALL PARKING LOT WITH NO IDEA WHY MY CAR WAS NOT WORKING. I GOT INTO MY CAR AND TRIED TO START IT WITH NO SUCCESS. THE DEALER SAID MY FUEL SENSOR WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AND SINCE IT WAS OUT OF WARRANTY I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CHARGES. I HAVE NOT FIXED THE GAUGE YET SO I HAVE TO REFILL MY TANK EVERY 250 MILES SO I DON'T STALL WHILE DRIVING. I DO A LOT OF HIGHWAY DRIVING DUE TO MY LONG COMMUTE AND IT IS QUITE STRESSFUL TO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE! *TR
Jun 16, 2011
WHEN I START MY CAR EVERY MORNING THE FUEL GAUGE STARTS OUT CORRECTLY AND THEN WHEN I START TO TRAVEL THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. AFTER I TRAVEL APPROXIMATELY 15 MIN THE GAUGE WILL START TO CLIMB TO ABOUT THE APPROX CORRECT FUEL AMOUNT THEN IT DROPS DOWN AGAIN. I CAN USUALLY GET A GOOD READING AFTER I FILL THE TANK BUT WHEN I TURN THE ENGINE OFF IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR TWO WEEKS NOW. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE THAT I AM NOT SURE WHAT MY FUEL LEVEL IS UNLESS I COMPLETELY FILL THE TANK. I HAVEN'T DONE ANY CORRECTIVE MEASURES YET. *TR

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION, THE FUEL GAUGE GIVES INACCURATE GAS READING. FUEL GAUGE MODULATES FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN GAS IS IN CAR WHEN DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A PEACE OF MIND GIVEN THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2007 ENVOY IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

WIRING TO FUEL PUMP BURNT...2007 GMC ENVOY DENALI WHEN DEAD ON HIGHWAY. ..UPDATED 01/07/16 *BF WHITE BEAR LAKE SUPERSTORE CORRECTED THE PROBLEM BY INSTALLING A NEW ALTERNATOR, IGNITION SWITCH, AND REPLACING THE BATTERY. *TR
Jan 06, 2016
INACCURATE FUEL GAUGE CAUSED THE 2007 GMC ENVOY TO UNEXPECTEDLY RUN OUT OF GASOLINE AND STALL AS THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING AT AN INTERSECTION. THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND THE POWER STEERING FAILED TO OPERATE AS OTHER VEHICLES WERE APPROACHING THE INTERSECTION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO GET THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY OFF OF THE ROAD BEFORE IT STOPPED. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSED A SERIOUS CRASH. GM NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CORRECTING THIS SERIOUS SAFETY RELATED DEFECT. WHY HAS THERE BEEN A RECALL COVERING CERTAIN VEHICLES UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 14V223000 BUT NOT IN THE CASE OF THIS 2007 GMC ENVOY WHEN THE END RESULT OF THE DEFECT CAN ALSO CAUSE THIS VEHICLE TO RUN OUT OF FUEL AND INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH? *TR

THE VEHICLE'S FUEL GAUGE WENT TO FULL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT STARTED MOVING ALL OVER THE PLACE AND NOW GOES TO EMPTY UPON FILL UP AT THE GAS STATION. THE MORE YOU DRIVE THE MORE FUEL IT READS. THE GAUGE FLOATS ALL OVER THE PLACE AND VEHICLE HAS NOW RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. GM WAS CONTACTED AND EXPLAINED IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND AT FIRST OFFERED NO HELP. UPON TALKING TO SEVERAL 'MANAGERS' THEY AGREED TO COVER 50% BECAUSE THEY KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. THE COST IS STILL OVER $250 FOR THE REPAIR. WHY DOES THE OWNER HAVE TO COVER THE COST OF A KNOWN PROBLEM PART? WHY IS GM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS? *TR
Feb 01, 2012
THE FUEL GAGE STAYS ON EMPTY WITH THE LOW FUEL INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED ONCE YOU FILL THE VEHICLE TO FULL AND THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON, AFTER SEVERAL HOURS THE FUEL GAGE WILL MOVE TO THE FULL MARK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT MAY OR MAY NOT GO OUT. LEAVING YOU UNSURE WITH THE AMOUNT OF FUEL YOU HAVE IN VEHICLE. THIS OCCURS EVEN AFTER SHUTTING THE VEHICLE OFF AND ON.

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.

ON OCTOBER 20 THE 2007 I PURCHASED A 2007 ENVOY SUV FROM RAMEY FORD IN TAZEWELL VA. ON OCTOBER 27, 2007 I HAD BACKED INTO MY DRIVE WAY PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK HAD THE KEYS IN MY HAND AND WALKED AROUND THE VEHICLE TO GET MY DAUGHTER OUT OF THE CAR SEAT. THIS IS WHEN I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ROLLING I THEN JUMPED IN THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR AND TRIED TO STOP THE VEHICLE BEFORE I COULD STOP THE VEHICLE WE (MY DAUGHTER AND I) WERE OVER A FIVE-FOOT ROCK WALL INTO THE BUSHES MY FATHER STOOD THERE AND WATCHED THE WHOLE ACCIDENT. MY LEGS WERE HANGING OUT OF THE VEHICLE I WAS VERY BRUISED UP. THANK GOD THAT MY DAUGHTER HAD NOT BEEN UNBUCKLED FROM HER CAR SEAT. AFTER MY FATHER CHECKED TO SEE IF WE WERE OKAY I HANDED MY FATHER THE KEYS AND HE MOVED THE VEHICLE THE GEAR SHIFTER WAS PUSHED ALL THE WAY TO THE DASH IN THE PARK POSITION ( I HAVE PICTURES) THE DASH LIGHTS WERE READING PARK BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD MOVE AS THOUGH IT WAS IN DRIVE. AFTER MOVING THE VEHICLE THE KEYS WOULD NOT COME OUT OF THE IGNITION. WHEN I WRECKED AND MOVED THE VEHICLE THERE WAS SAND EVERYWHERE ON THE SCENE FROM THE VEHICLE IT WAS LIKE BEACH SAND. MY QUESTION IS WHY DID THE KEYS COME OUT OF THE IGNITION IF THE VEHICLE WAS NOT IN PARK AND NOW THAT THE KEYS ARE IN THE IGNITION YOU CAN DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN THE PARK POSITION AND THE KEYS WILL NOT COME OUT????? *TR

ENGINE STALLED WHILE DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE WITHOUT ANY INDICATION UNTIL APPLYING THE BRAKES TO FIND THE POWER BRAKES HAD BEEN LOST. WEATHER CONDITIONS WERE SLICK AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SPIN AND COULD NOT BE CORRECTED DUE TO LOSS OF POWER STEERING. VEHICLE COULD NOT BE SLOWED USING THE LOWER ENGINE GEARS. ONCE THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP, THE BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON. THE VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, TURNED THE KEY TO THE ENGINE-OFF POSITION AND THEN ON. ONSTAR DIAGNOSTICS DID NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS IN SYSTEM TESTS. FUEL LEVEL WAS APPROX. 3 GALLONS. ***************************************************************************************************THE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED AN ACCIDENT OF RUNNING OVER A PEDESTRIAN AND COLLISION WITH OTHER VEHICLES (NO CONTROL AND NO WARNING FROM THE VEHICLE SYSTEMS OF STALL).

THERE WAS A DELAY BETWEEN THE TIME THE RECALL WAS ISSUED AND WHEN MY VEHICLE WAS UP FOR REPAIR DUE TO A BACK ORDER OF PARTS. IN MAY 2013, THE CONSUMER WAS TOLD THE PARTS WERE IN AND THE LOCAL GMC DEALER REPAIRED THE SWITCH (12180) "PER SERVICE PROCEDURE" WHICH MEANT, A COATING WAS PUT ON THE DOOR SWITCH HOWEVER, THE CONSUMER WAS NOT MADE AWARE TO THE EXACT NATURE OF THESE "PROCEDURES." AT THE END OF JUNE 2013, THE DOOR HAD SHORTED OUT AND WAS AGAIN TAKEN IN TO THE GMC DEALER AND ACTUALLY REPLACED AFTER ENDANGERING THE LIVES OF 4 INDIVIDUALS WHO VISITED A GAS STATION AS THE LAST STOP. WHEN A CLAIM WAS OPENED WITH GM, THE CONSUMER WAS GIVEN A LOT OF "I UNDERSTAND" AND NO OTHER ANSWER COULD BE GIVEN EXCEPT FOR IT WAS STANDARD PROCEDURE TO "BAND-AID" THESE SWITCHES. FINALLY, THE GM REPRESENTATIVE SUPPLIED THE CONSUMER WITH THE EXCUSE THAT THE PART WAS NOT IN YET AND THAT WAS WHY IT WAS NOT FIXED IN THE FIRST PLACE.

THE HIDDEN WELDMENT HOLDING THE REAR LIFTGATE STRUT BROKE CAUSING THE STRUT TO BECOME DISLODGED AND ALLOWING THE GATE TO VIOLENTLY FALL ON MY BACK, SHOULDERS AND HEAD. WHILE PAINFUL FOR ME THIS COULD HAVE CATASTROPHIC IMPACT ON A CHILD. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A GM DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULDN'T REPAIR THIS AND SUGGEST I TALK TO A BODY SHOP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. THE FUEL GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL INACCURATELY DISPLAYS THE AMOUNT OF FUEL PRESENT IN THE FUEL TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THIS WAS A COMMON FAILURE FOR HER MODEL TYPE. HE THEN ADDED THAT THE FAILURE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, SO SHE WAS INELIGIBLE FOR A FREE REMEDY. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 39,200. UPDATED 3/8/10 *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THAT THE REAR HATCH WAS INOPERATIVE AND WHEN IT RAINED THE WINDOWS WOULD GET STUCK. UPDATED 05/13/10.*JB

I TOTALED MY 2004 GMC ENVOY ON BLACK ICE, I HIT MY NEIGHBOR PRETTY MUCH HEAD ON. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF NOR DID MY SEAT BELT HOLD MY IN PLACE, I REPORTED THIS ACCIDENT AND DYSFUNCTION TO GM AND AFTER THEIR INVESTIGATION THEY SAID THE VEHICLE FUNCTIONED PROPERLY. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW THIS COULD BE, WE BOUGHT THE ENVOY NEW THE AIR BAG SHOULD HAVE DEPLOYED AS WELL AS THE SEAT BELT SHOULD HAVE LOCKED ME IN PLACE, AS IT WAS I HIT THE WIND SHIELD, HAD SWELLING IN MY BRAIN, I ALSO HIT THE TOP OF THE ENVOY AND CAME DOWN AND HAVE TWO CRUSHED VERTEBRAE IN MY BACK STILL TO THIS DAY, I HIT THE DRIVERS DOOR AND THEN BROKE THE STEERING COLUMN AND THE CENTER CONSOLE WITH MY BODY, AGAIN BECAUSE THE AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF NOR DID THE SEAT BELT HOLD ME IN PLACE. I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THEY (GM) CAN SAY EVERYTHING FUNCTIONED CORRECTLY!*TR

I BOUGHT A 2007 ENVOY 10 MARCH 2007. WHEN THE WEATHER GOT WARM I TRIED TO USE MY AC. THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE WITH LESS THAN 5,000 MILES AND THE AC DIDN'T WORK. I TOOK IT IN FOR SERVICE AND WAS TOLD IT WAS FIXED. WHEN WE WENT ON A TRIP AND ARRIVED IN FL AND IT HEATED UP, THE AC DIDN'T WORK. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS REPAIRED I WAS TOLD IT WAS A SENSOR. THE NEXT TWO TIMES THEY REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR. THE FIRST TIME IT WAS COOL WHEN WE LEFT AND I TRIED THE AC AND IT WAS COLD. I HAD TO TAKE IT IN 3 TIMES BEFORE IT WORKED CORRECTLY. NOW IT IS GETTING HOT AGAIN AND I THINK I AM GOING TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. IT IS ONLY 70 AND MY 1997 CHEVY CAVALIER COOLS BETTER THAN MY 2007 ENVOY. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT HAVE ONLY RECENTLY BEEN RESOLVED. EACH TIME I TOOK IT IN I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I HAD A LEAK IN THE REAR COMPARTMENT, THE DRIVERS SEAT WOULD NOT ADJUST SOMETIMES AND THE STABILITRAK CONSTANTLY GAVE ME A SERVICE LIGHT. THIS VEHICLE IS ONLY 1 YEAR OLD. *TR
