HELLO, HOPE YOU CAN HELP MYSELF AND OTHER PERSONS FROM NOT HAPPENING. I CAME HOME FROM WORK SATURDAY, AND PARKED IN THE GARAGE AS USUAL. AFTER BEING HOME AND WATCHING SOME TV I KNOW FOR SURE WAS 2 IN A HALF HOURS. MY WIFE ASKED OF ME TO GO TO THE GARAGE TO GET SOME ICE CREAM, WE HAVE A FREEZE IN THERE. I WALKED IN THE DOOR AND COULDN'T BELIEVE HOW HOT! IT WAS IN THERE IT WASN'T A HOT DAY AT ALL TO MAKE THE GARAGE SIZZLE. WE HAVE A THERMOMETER GAUGE IN THERE AND BELIEVE ME IT READ 100 . I WAS SHOCKED! I WENT INTO THE HOUSE TO GET MY WIFE, TO LET HER FEEL THE HEAT, AND TRY TO FIND THE SOURCE OF THE PROBLEM. WE BOTH THOUGHT IT WAS THE FREEZER, BECAUSE THAT'S THE ONLY THING PLUG IN. WE FELT THE FREEZER FROM THE OUTSIDE , IN SOME PLACES IT WAS HOT. I COULDN'T TAKE THE HEAT ANY MORE AND OPENED THE GARAGE DOOR. THERE WAS NO SMELL OF ANYTHING THAT COULD BE WRONG. THEN I TOUCH MY ENVOY, AND HOOD OF THE CAR WAS HOT, THEN WE STARTED TO FEEL AROUND THE HEAT FROM THE CAR WAS CLOSE ENOUGH TO MAKE THE FREEZER HOT. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE PART TO KEEP THE HOOD UP WAS TO HOT TO HANDLE. I MANGE NOTHING WAS BURNING NO SMELL JUST HEAT INSIDE AND OUT. I PULLED IT OUT OF THE GARAGE BECAUSE OF FEAR MY GARAGE GOING UP IN FLAMES, WITH GASOLINE AND OTHER FLAMMABLES. I OPEN THE DOOR, AND WOW THE HEAT I HURRIED AND PULLED IT OUT. I LOOKED AT THE GAUGES AND THEY ALL READ NORMAL? I ASKED A FEW FRIENDS AND THEY COULDN'T FIGURE IT OUT. WE LEFT THE ENVOY IN THE DRIVE ALL WEEKEND, AND LEFT THE GARAGE DOOR OPEN TO VENT OUT. TO MY KNOWLEDGE THIS HAS NEVER HAPPEN BEFORE. WE DO HAVE THE BUMPER TO BUMPER PLAN. COULD YOU PLEASE CHECK INTO PROBLEM IT COULD SAFE A LOT OF LIVES. THANK GOD MY WIFE WANTED THAT ORANGE SHERBERT. *TR

WELL LETS JUST SAY AFTER RECEIVING THE ENVOY BACK FROM THE DEALER FOR REPLACING THE GEARS IN THE TRANSMISSION IN WHICH GM DID NOT FIND TO BE AT FAULT FOR NOT CHECKING THE TRANSMISSION @ 31,000 MILES WHEN I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. SO OVER THE NEXT MONTHS FOLLOWING THIS MY TRANSMISSION WENT OUT @ 52000 MILES, SO GM HAD ME PAY A 500 DEDUCTIBLE. NOW MY SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR THE COOLANT SYSTEM ACCORDING TO ON-STAR, SO BACK OFF TO THE DELAERSHIP FOR NOT CHECKING ALL THE CODES FOR THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER INSIDE THE GAS TANK, THE GAS TANK NECK, THE BATTERY @ 38,000 MILES, AND TIRES @ 28000 MILES, BRAKES @ 38000 EVEN WHEN I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP TO CHECK THE BRAKES AND COMPLAINED 3 TIMES ABOUT THE BRAKES. AS I FURTHER INVESTIGATED COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VEHICLE, I FOUND THAT THE PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE HAD OTHERS HAVE HAD REPORTED TO LEMON LAW, NHSTA, BBB. THESE ITEMS HAVE HAPPENED FROM THE START OF PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE UP UNTIL MARCH OF 2008. *TR

ENGINE, CHECK GADGES LIGHT APPEARS, SUV STALLS, RADIO LIGHTS AND STEERING LIGHTS KEEPS FAILING. I HAVE TAKEN MY 04 ENVOYXL INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 7 TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM IN WHICH THEY HAVE NOT YET BEEN ABLE TO FIX/RESOLVE. MY ENVOYXL CHECK ENGINE AND CHECK GADGES LIGHTS KEEP POPPING ON AND THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO CUT OFF/STALL THE DEALERSHIP HAS NOT YET FIXED THE PROBLEM, I HAVE TAKEN THE SUV IN OVER 6 TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. FROM 2004 UNTIL NOW 2007 THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. THE LIGHTS ON THE DASH BOARD KEEPS GOING OUT. THEY HAVE REPLACED THE LIGHTS AT LEAST 2 OR 3 TIMES BUT THEY KEEP GOING OUT. THESE LIGHTS ARE ON THE RADIO PART, THE BUTTONS WHICH OPERATE THE RADIO AND SWITCHES THE STATION. THE PANELS SEEMS TO GET VERY HOT. THE LIGHTS ARE CURRENTLY OUT NOW AFTER BEING REPLACED 3 TIMES AND NOW THE VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. THE PAINT ON THE SUV IS VERY DULL AND THE LEATHER ON THE 2ND ROW SEAT IS CRACKING, COMPLETELY WORN AND VERY CHEAP. I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP 1 YEAR AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE THAT THE LEATHER IS WORN OUT TOO FAST, NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE 2ND ROW LEATHER SEATS. THE PAINT ON THE EXTERIOR IS DULL AND SPOTTY, I COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP BEFORE THE 36,000 MILE WARRANTY EXPIRED AND NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT THE PAINT EITHER. THIS SUV IS A LEMON, IT CONTINUES TO CUT OFF ALTHOUGH MANY ATTEMPTS HAS BEEN MADE TO REPAIR THE PROBLEM, I THINK THEY SHOULD BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK SINCE IT CAN'T BE FIXED. THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SINCE THESE LIGHTS ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONTINUES TO WEAR OUT VERY FAST AND THE RADIO HAD TO BE REPLACED ALREADY BUT THE LIGHTS CONTINUES TO BLOW OUT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE STEERING WHEEL WHICH ALSO CONTROLS THE RADIO AND OTHER COMPONENTS. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2004 ENVOY WITH 18,000 MILES IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. BEGINNING IN JANUARY 2007, MY 3 YEAR OLD SON LET ME KNOW THAT HE WAS COLD WHILE RIDING IN THE BACK SEAT AND BEGGED THAT I TURN OFF THE AIR. TURNS OUT THAT THE VENT IN THE BACK OF THE CAR WAS BLOWING ICE COLD AIR ON MY SON. THE TEMPERATURE OUTSIDE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10 DEGREES. I CALLED AND SCHEDULED A TIME TO TAKE MY CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP, AS IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. I FOUND OUT THAT THE VEHICLE HAD A "BULLETIN" STATING THAT GMC WAS FAMILIAR THAT THERE WAS HEAT FAILURE IN THE BACK OF THE CARS, BUT THE COMPANY WAS CHOOSING NOT TO DO A FULL RECALL. INSTEAD, THEY WERE WAITING FOR CUSTOMERS TO DISCOVER THE PROBLEM AND BRING IT IN FOR REPAIR. THEY HAD TO INSTALL A SPECIAL PUMP, HOWEVER, THIS STILL DID NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, IT JUST MODIFIED THE TEMPERATURE OF THE AIR FROM APPROXIMATELY 20 DEGREES TO MAYBE 50 DEGREES. NOT A LOT OF COMFORT IN A MINNESOTA WINTER. I WAS INFORMED THAT BOTTOM LINE, IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW WITH THE VEHICLE, AND THAT I COULD JUST TRY TO FORCE THE AIR FROM THE FRONT OF THE CAR TO THE BACK SEAT. WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING VENTS IN THE BACK OF THE CAR, AND HAVING A SEPARATE HEATING ELEMENT SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BACK OF THE CAR? I PURCHASED THIS CAR BECAUSE I THOUGHT THAT WITH THE VENTS IN THE BACK, IT WOULD HELP HEAT THE CAR FASTER IN THE WINTER, HELPING TO KEEP MY SON WARM. I DO NOT BELIEVE THAT HEAT SHOULD BE A LUXURY, AND AM DISAPPOINTED THAT GMC WOULD NOT DO MORE TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WANT IT TO BE KNOWN TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE ENVOY AND TRAILBLAZER, ESPECIALLY FOR FAMILIES WITH SMALL CHILDREN WHO DO NOT HAVE A VOICE TO LET THEIR PARENTS KNOW THE ICY AIR BLOWING ON THEM. *NM

MY 2004 GMC ENVOY XUV (V6) HAS AN ENGINE PROBLEM. IT HAS STALLED ON 3 OCCASSIONS. WE TOLD THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT ABOUT THE INCIDENT AND THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON IT. THEY SAID THE COMPUTER ON THE ENVOY DIDN'T HAVE A RECORD OF THE INCIDENT. ON THE 1ST INCIDENT IT HAPPENED WHEN PULLING OUT OF A PARKING SPOT. THE 2ND TIME WAS AFTER REVERSING OUT OF A DRIVEWAY AND THEN DRIVING FORWARD OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY. THE 3RD TIME WAS ATTEMPTING TO DRIVE FORWARD AFTER WAITING FOR THE GARAGE DOOR TO OPEN.
ON CERTAIN SPORT UTILITY VEHICLES, VIBRATION AND HEAT MAY CAUSE THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP BULB TO LOOSEN IN ITS SOCKET. IF THIS OCCURS, THE BULB MAY FLICKER AND EVENTUALLY BECOME INOPERATIVE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AN INOPERATIVE BRAKE LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION OF STOPPING TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES, AND AN INOPERATIVE REAR TURN SIGNAL LAMP WILL NOT CONVEY THE DRIVER'S INTENTION TO TURN TO DRIVERS IN FOLLOWING VEHICLES. BOTH OF THESE FAILURES CAN INCREASE THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE TAIL LAMP/STOP LAMP ASSEMBLIES, AND IF NECESSARY, REPLACE THEM. THE RECALL BEGAN ON NOVEMBER 22, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT CHEVROLET AT 1-800-630-2438, OLDSMOBILE AT 1-800-630-6537, BUICK AT 1-866-608-8080, OR GMC AT 1-866-996-9463.

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Exterior Lighting:headlights
The subject vehicles are model year (MY) 2002-2009 Chevrolet Trailblazer, GMC Envoy, 2004-2007 Buick Rainier, 2003-2008 Isuzu Ascender, 2005-2009 Saab 9-7X, 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada, 2003-2006 Chevrolet SSR, 2005-2009 Buick Lacrosse, and 2006-2008 Pontiac Grand Prix. This scope includes the Trailblazer/Envoy variants: 2002-2006 Envoy XL/Trailblazer EXT and 2004-2005 Envoy XUV. The original scope of this investigation was expanded to include all vehicles equipped with the subject Headlight Driver Module (HDM). The focus of the investigation was to determine whether actions performed by General Motors adequately addressed any unreasonable risk to motor vehicle safety in the subject vehicles concerning the headlights and the HDM that controls them.Under normal electrical load and environmental conditions, the HDM can overheat inside the Underhood Electrical Center (UEC). This can cause the module to fail and result in a simultaneous loss of both low beam headlights and both daytime running lights (DRLs), often with no warning or prior detectability to the driver. This failure can be intermittent or permanent. No other exterior lights are affected. High beams, turn signals, brake lights, and reverse lights are still operational.General Motors addressed this issue with 2 recalls (14V755 & 15V519) and a special coverage program (N172091910). In view of the recalls and special coverage program implemented by GM and the vehicle high beams continuing to operate, ODI has tentatively concluded that the actions taken by GM mitigate any unreasonable risk to safety posed by HDM failure in the subject vehicles.Accordingly, the investigation is closed. The closing of this investigation does not constitute a finding by NHTSA that a safety-related defect does not exist. The agency reserves the right to take additional action if warranted by new circumstances.The ODI reports cited above are available for review online at NHTSA.gov under the identification numbers in the attached document.
DURING THE COURSE OF THIS EA INVESTIGATION, ODI OBSERVED THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE COMPLAINTS (88%) AND WARRANTY CLAIMS (94%) WERE REPORTED FOR VEHICLES THAT ARE REGISTERED FOR USE IN THE SALT BELT REGION OF THE US.THIS AREA INCLUDES 20 STATES IN THE NORTHEAST, MID ATLANTIC AND THE MIDWEST REGIONS AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA.CONSUMERS IN THE SALT BELT REGION REPORTED TO ODI THAT THEY COULD SMELL FUEL VAPORS IN THEIR VEHICLES WHILE DRIVING.UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION OF THEIR VEHICLES, THEY DISCOVERED THAT FUEL VAPORS WERE COMING OUT OF THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THIS CONDITION IS CAUSED BY CORROSION OF THE RETURN AND SENDER LINES OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE.WATER AND ROAD SALT COLLECT ON TOP OF THE FUEL PUMP LEADING TO SMALL PINHOLES APPEARING ON THE FUEL LINES.FUEL MAY LEAK AND COLLECT ON TOP OF THE MODULE AND/OR SPILL ONTO THE GROUND.THE DATA EVALUATED UNDER THIS INVESTIGATION REFLECT A RELATIVELY LOW FREQUENCY OF OCCURRENCE THAT LARGELY ARISES IN SALT BELT STATES.GM HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE SUBJECT COMPONENT TO TEN YEARS OR 120,000 MILES.FURTHER USE OF AGENCY RESOURCES DOES NOT APPEAR TO BE WARRANTED AT THIS TIME; ACCORDINGLY, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.THE CLOSING OF THIS INVESTIGATION DOES NOT CONSTITUTE A FINDING BY NHTSA THAT NO SAFETY-RELATED DEFECT EXISTS.THE AGENCY RESERVES THE RIGHT TO TAKE FURTHER ACTION IF WARRANTED BY THE CIRCUMSTANCES.FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION SELECT DOCUMENT SEARCH.
BY LETTER DATED APRIL 29, 2005, GM NOTIFIED THE AGENCY THAT IT IS CONDUCTING ASAFETY RECALL ( NHTSA RECALL NO. 05V198 ) INVOLVING CERTAIN MODEL YEARS (MY) 2003-2004 ISUZU ASCENDER, CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER, GMC ENVOY, OLDSMOBILE BRAVADA AND MY 2004 BUICK RAINER VEHICLES.THE RECALL APPLIES TO VEHICLES BUILT FROM APRIL 2003 THROUGH NOVEMBER 2003 FOR A TOTAL VEHICLE POPULATION OF 286,478.GM REPORTS THE DIRECTIONAL/HAZARD SIGNALS FAILURE IS DUE TO STICKING CONTACTS ON ROUTING RELAYS IN THE FLASHER MODULE.GM WILL REPLACE THE FLASHER MODULE ON ALL INVOLVED VEHICLES.BASED ON GM'S SAFETY RECALL ACTION, THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.
