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

DRIVING ON HIGHWAY IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC @ APPROXIMATELY 55MPH. SUDDENLY NOTED LOSS OF POWER WITHOUT WARNING, WITH NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS ON ( UNTIL MANAGED TO GET CAR TO SIDE OF HIGHWAY AND PUT IN PARK, THEN MULTIPLE ICONS LIGHTING UP). HAD TOWED TO DEALERSHIP, THEY ALMOST IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME A FAULTY IGNITION SWITCH WAS THE MOST PROBABLE CAUSE. OF NOTE, CAR WENT ON TO HAVE IGNITION SWITCH NEEDING REPLACED @ 74,218 MILES. THIS TIME I WAS AGAIN DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE AT APPROXIMATELY 65MPH, BUT THIS TIME SUDDENLY FELT CAR LOSING POWER, AND NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ONCE AGAIN. I MANAGED TO GET TO BERM, PUT IN PARK, WITH MULTIPLE ICONS THEN LIGHTING UP, AS IF "SHORTING OUT". SHUT IGNITION OFF, TOOK MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO RESTART, HAD TOWED. -AT 105,162 MILES, AGAIN REPLACEMENT OF SAME PART, AFTER HAVING FULLY LOST POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING THIS TIME, THOUGH THIS TIME OCCURRED WHILE GOING DOWN MY DRIVEWAY. ********OF NOTE, I DO NOT HAVE A "HEAVY" KEY RING NOR WAS THERE JARRING FROM ROUGH ROADS ON ANY OF THESE 3 OCCASIONS. *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.

AS WE WERE DRIVING, ALL OF A SUDDEN WE HEAR THIS EXTREMELY LOUD BLAST COMING FROM THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE. WE LOOK BACK AND SEEN THAT THE REAR GLASS WAS SHATTERED. WE THEN PULLED OVER ASAP TO EXAMINE THE DAMAGES. I THEN BEGAN TO TAKE PICTURES USING MY CELL PHONE. NOT TO MENTION MY 13,11&4 MONTH OLD KIDS WAS IN THE BACK SEAT WHEN THIS OCCURRED. WE ARE STILL SHAKEN UP FROM THIS SITUATION AT HANDS. THIS COULD OF BEEN A FAR MORE WORST SITUATION. THIS IS DEFINITELY A DEFECT AND NEED TO HAVE A RECALL. I'VE ONLY OWNED THE SUV FOR 2 DAYS I WILL BE RETURNING THE NEXT DAY. *TR
