EVERYTHING STARTED APRIL LAST YEAR AND ITS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER SINCE. FIRST MY ENGINE STARTED STALLING, WHILE DRIVING. ONE INCIDENT, I LOST HALF A TANK OF GAS WITHIN A 15 MINUTE RIDE, WHICH I HAVE A 17 GALLON TANK. THEN WHILE DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY, IT SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 70 TO 20 BEFORE I COULD GET OVER TWO LANES TO GET OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. IVE CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY, IVE CLEANED THE CAMSHAFT ACTUATOR, IVE REPLACED THE AIR FILTER, FUEL FILTER, AND THE OIL TWICE WITHIN A 8 MONTH PERIOD, AND YET IT STILL CONTINUES TO STALL. NOW I RECENTLY CHANGE THE WATER PUMP TO SEE IF THAT WOULD HELP, EVEN THOUGH MY CAR WAS NOT OVER HEATING, NOW ITS STALLING EVEN WORSE; I CANT EVEN MAKE IT THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH WITHOUT HAVING TO START IT TWICE. SECOND AND EVEN SCARRIER ISSUE, I HIT POT HOLE ONE DAY AND BEFORE I COULD MAKE 15 MILES, I HEARD GRINDING. A CV JOINT HAD TO BE REPLACED, THEN TWO DAYS AFTER THAT THE OTHER CV JOINT BROKE OFF AND BROKE MY FRONT AXLE DISCONNECT ASSEMBLY. DID I HIT ANYBODY? NO THANK GOD I WAS IN THE RIGHT HAND LANE AND COULD GET OVER WITHOUT HITTING ANYONE OR CAUSING INJURY TO MYSELF. IVE REPLACED BOTH CV JOINTS AND THE ASSEMBLY NOW AND EVEN DID THE STRUTS WHILE I WAS AT IT, BUT HAVE ALSO BEEN TOLD I NEED CONTROL ARMS NOW. AND STILL MY CAR IS STALLING, GRINDING WHEN I TURN AND I CANT GET THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO CLEAR LONG ENOUGH TO GET IT INSPECTED. MY DRIVERS SIDE WINDSHIELD WORKS WHEN IT WANTS TO AND NOW THE CAR IS STARTING TO VIBRATE UNBELIEVABLY. IVE KEPT MY OIL CHANGED, IVE KEPT MY FILTERS CHANGED, IVE NEVER TAKEN THIS THING OFF ROAD AND HAVE HAD IT OVER 7 YEARS AND JUST IN THE LAST YEAR I HAVE DUMPED MORE MONEY IN THIS CAR THAN I HAVE SINCE IVE OWNED IT. *TR

I OWN A 2002 GMC ENVOY. FOR THE PAST YEAR OR SO, I'VE BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WHENEVER I STOP AT A RED LIGHT, THE CAR STARTS TO SHAKE AND SOMETIMES TURNS OFF. I USUALLY TURN THE CAR OFF AND START IT UP AGAIN. ON MONDAY, JULY 27TH, I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY SHUT DOWN. LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO A SAFE SPOT AND NO FURTHER DAMAGE WAS DONE TO MY CAR OR OTHER PROPERTY. I TRIED STARTING THE CAR AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO A NEARBY MECHANIC. ONCE THERE, THE MECHANIC LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND DETERMINED THAT IT WAS THE COMPUTER ENGINE AND THAT IT WAS UNDER RECALL. HE HAD ME CALL GMC SO THAT I COULD REPORT THE INCIDENT. WHEN I CALLED, I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO RECALLS ON MY EXACT CAR BUT THAT SHE WOULD CONTACT THE MECHANIC AND GET SOME MORE INFORMATION. AFTER A COUPLE DAYS OF WAITING WITH NO VEHICLE OR CALL FROM GMC, I FINALLY GET A CALL BACK FROM THE MECHANIC TELLING ME THAT HE SPOKE TO THE GMC REPRESENTATIVE AND THAT THEY WOULD BE CALLING ME BACK TO SET UP A DATE AND TIME TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP TO HAVE FIXED AND THAT THE RECALL INFORMATION WAS CORRECT. ABOUT AN HOUR LATER, I RECEIVED A CALL FROM GMC AND SHE TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO COVER THE REPAIR. NEVER HAVING TO DEAL WITH THIS BEFORE, I WAS COMPLETELY CONFUSED AS TO WHAT WAS GOING ON AND WHY GMC WAS NOT COVERING IT. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME AND I WOULD LIKE TO GET SOME RESOLUTION FROM IT. *TR

11RQ17002 · Loss Of Headlights
Opened Apr 24, 2017 · Closed Mar 29, 2021
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.

ON NOVEMBER 30, 2001, GENERAL MOTORS (GM) CONDUCTED SAFETY RECALL 01V-364 FOR THE SUBJECT VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN SEPTEMBER 16, 1999 AND AUGUST 28, 2001 TO REMEDY A DEFECTIVE HAZARD SWITCH THAT WOULD CAUSE A LOSS OF HAZARD AND STOP LAMP ILLUMINATION.THE HAZARD SWITCH IS CONTAINED WITHIN THE VEHICLE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH.ODI OPENED THIS INVESTIGATION BASED ON REPORTS THAT SOME CONSUMERS WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE ORIGINAL RECALL OR THAT THEY HAD REPAIRS DONE UNDER 01V-364 BUT EXPERIENCED SUBSEQUENT MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH FAILURES.THE MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH SUPPORTS THE OPERATION OF CRUISE CONTROL, WINDSHIELD WIPERS, EXTERIOR LIGHTING AND TURN SIGNALS IN ADDITION TO HAZARD AND STOP LAMPS. ON MAY 21, 2008, GM NOTIFIED THE AGENCY THAT IT ERRONEOUSLY MISSED IDENTIFYING 5,862 VEHICLES THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED IN RECALL 01V-364.GM WILL NOW NOTIFY OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES UNDER A NEW NHTSA RECALL NUMBER 08V-231.OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON JUNE 17.THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF BRAKE LAMP FAILURE WAS A DESIGN CHANGE FROM COPPER TO BRASS CONTACT MATERIAL IN THE HAZARD SWITCH.THIS CHANGE WAS EFFECTIVE FOR VEHICLES BUILT AFTER SEPTEMBER 16, 1999.GM CHANGED THE MATERIAL BACK TO COPPER FOR VEHICLES BUILT AFTER AUGUST 28, 2001. THE REMEDY PART FOR BOTH 01V-364 AND 08V-231 CONTAINS COPPER CONTACTS.GM'S DATA SHOWS THAT LESS THAN 1% OF VEHICLES REPAIRED UNDER RECALL 01V-364 REQUIRED ADDITIONAL SUBSEQUENT REPAIR OR REPLACEMENT OF THE HAZARD OR MULTIFUNCTION SWITCH.THIS INVESTIGATION IS CLOSED.

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.
