TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2003 GMC ENVOY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE KEY FAILED TO RELEASE FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RELEASE THE KEY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000. UPDATED 3/24/15*CN UPDATED 10/20/2015*JS

I WENT INSIDE WAL-MART FOR MAYBE 1/2 HOUR AND WHEN I CAME OUT THE WINDOW WAS BUSTED OUT. WE THOUGHT SOME PUNK SMASHED THE WINDOW SO WE CALLED THE POLICE. THEY WATCHED THE VIDEO OF THE PARKING LOT AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO ONE BY THE CAR WHEN IT HAPPENED. I DON'T SEE HOW IT CAN JUST "MAGICALLY" SMASH INTO THOUSANDS OF PIECES WITH NO ONE AROUND BUT AFTER READING THROUGH OTHER COMPLAINTS I CAN SEE THAT I'M NOT ALONE. OF THE 202 COMPLAINTS ON HERE THERE ARE 10 (THIS MAKES 11) INCIDENCES WHERE THIS HAS HAPPENED AND GMC IS NOT RECALLING THEM? I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND. IT IS GOING TO COST ME $500.00 FOR A BRAND NEW WINDOW AND IT IS A WEEK AND A HALF BEFORE CHRISTMAS. WE TRIED TO FIND ONE IN THE JUNKYARDS BUT THEY COST ALMOST AS MUCH AS A NEW ONE. I AM SO FRUSTRATED RIGHT NOW. *TR

ENTERING STRAIGHT STRETCH OF 2 LANE HWY.,I SWERVED TO MISS OBJECT IN MY LANE AND PART OF ADJACENT LANE. I COULD NOT STRAIGHTEN UP VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE ROLLED AND STRUCK A TREE. THE ENGINE WAS OFF AND THE AIR BAGS DID NOT INFLATE. MY DOOR WAS DAMAGED AND HAD TO BE CUT OFF TO FREE MYSELF. THE ENVOY WAS TOTALED. MY WIFE'S HARNESS DID NOT HOLD AND SHE WAS FACING THE REAR BETWEEN THE FRONT SEATS. THE SIDE AIR BAGS AND FRONT AIR BAGS DID NOT WORK. THE VEHICLE WAS WELL MAINTAINED WITH NEW TIRES AND BRAKES. I WAS LIFE FLIGHTED, AND MY WIFE WAS CARRIED BY AMBULANCE TO THE HOSPITAL WHERE WE SUSTAINED MULTIPLE INJURIES. *TR

THIS IS REGARDING THE "TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL. I AM NOT SURE HOW TO PROCEED WITH REPORTING MY VEHICLE AND GETTING PLACE ON A LIST FOR AIR BAG REPLACEMENT IN PHILADELPHIA, PA. *TR

I HAVE A 2003 GMC ENVOY XL AND HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH BEING LOSE AND NOT SHUTTING OFF ALL THE WAY WHEN THE KEY IS OUT AND JUST THE OTHER MORNING I WENT TO GO TO WORK AND MY CAR WOULD NOT START DUE TO THE IGNITION BEING STUCK IN THE ON POSITION AFTER I HAD PARKED MY CAR AND TOOK THE KEY OUT, I AM NOW AFRAID THAT WHILE I AM DRIVING THE IGNITION SWITCH IS GOING TO BE BUMPED INTO THE OFF POSITION AND CAUSE ME TO CRASH. *TR

RIGHT REAR DOOR LOCK IS BROKE WILL NOT SHUT OR LOCK WE WERE AT THE STORE AND WHEN WE WENT BACK TO THE VEHICLE WENT TO SHUT THE DOOR AND THE LATCH WILL NOT CATCH AND SHUT THE DOOR. *TR

I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE IN MARCH OF 2012. THE PASSENGER SEAT BELT WILL NOT WORK AND I USE THEM FOR CAR SEATS NOW WHICH PLACES MY LIL ONES AT RISK SINCE THEY MAY NOT BE PROPERLY FASTENED IN BECAUSE THIS SEAT BELT SHOULD FUNCTION. ALSO MY BACK HATCHBACK DOOR DOESN'T LATCH PROPERLY UNLESS I SLAM IT DOWN HARD. IF I DON'T GATE AJAR LIGHT COMES ON AND I HEAR IT LOOSE. THE LATCH SYSTEM HAS FALLEN APART DUE TO THE SLAMMING. WINDOW PART ALSO DOES THIS SO I DON'T USE IT. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE NO RECALLS TO FIX THESE SAFETY HAZARDS. *TR

THE LIFT GATE WARNING LIGHT MALFUNCTIONING SAYS GATE OPEN AND ISN'T LIGHT DOESN'T GO OFF. *TR

THE KEY FOB, USED TO UNLOCK THE CAR, WILL NOT UNLOCK THE DRIVER SIDE DOOR. I CAN HEAR A CLICKING NOISE LIKE THE LATCH IS TRYING TO DISENGAGE, BUT IT WILL NOT. THE REMEDY FOR THIS IS TO LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN IN ORDER TO PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON INSIDE THE CAR OR TO WAIT AND CONTINUOUSLY PRESS THE UNLOCK BUTTON THE KEY FOB (THE LATCH INSIDE THE DOOR WILL EVENTUALLY UNLOCK THE CAR). *TR
