ONLY 8 YEARS OLD AND 140,000 MILES THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD HAS CRACKED ALLOWING EXHAUST FUMES TO ENTER THE INTERIOR OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD NO ACCIDENTS WITH THIS CAR AND I SEE NO REASON WHY THE MANIFOLD SHOULD CRACK. I HAVE HAD CARS LONGER THEN THIS THAT NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM. MANIFOLDS SHOULD NOT JUST CRACK.

LUCKILY I STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE CAR QUIT. I PUT IT IN PARK AND TRIED TO RE-START IT BUT HAD NOTHING. A POLICE OFFICER PULLED UP BEHIND ME AND RADIOED FOR A TOW TRUCK. THEY TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND $300.00 DOLLARS LATER SAID IT WAS THE IGNITION SWITCH. THEY GAVE ME THE OLD SWITCH AND I STILL HAVE IT. NOW I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD BEEN ON A MAJOR FREEWAY TRAVELING AT 75-80 MPH AND THE SWITCH WERE TO GO OUT? G M IS JUST RECALLING CERTAIN VEHICLES, WHAT ABOUT ALL THE REST THAT STILL HAVE THE SAME THING WRONG WITH THEM. IS IT THAT YOU HAVE TO LOOSE YOUR OR SOMEONE YOU LOVE'S LIFE BEFORE THEY ARE MADE TO FIX FAULTY PARTS? MAYBE THEY SHOULD BE MADE TO PRODUCE PARTS UP TO AMERICAN STANDARDS AND NOT THIRD WORLD COUNTRY STANDARDS. THANK YOU *TR

RQ17002 · 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.
