NOTICED A NO TRACTION IN MY CLUSTER ONE MONTH BEFORE THE ACCIDENT. WHEN I TURNED THE SUV OFF THE LIGHT WOULD GO AWAY. I HAD A CODE CHECK ON IT AND HAD CODES FOR MY ABS. SENSORS WHERE CHECKED AND TESTED. NO FAULT IN THE SENSORS. THE DAY OF THE ACCIDENT AS I WAS PASSING THE PERSON AND SWITCHING LANES THERE WAS A RED LIGHT AHEAD I APPLIED MY BREAKS AND THE NO TRACTION CAME ON AS I HIT A SMALL PATCH OF ICE. TRACTION DID NOT KICK ON OR ABS LEADING ME OUT TO M-24 FROM A NEIGHBORHOOD ROAD GETTING HIT ON THE DRIVER SIDE FENDER BY A CHEVY TRACKER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH AND TALKING WITH ASE TECH'S. A DEFECTIVE STEERING POSITIONING SENSOR WAS DEFECTIVE AND KNOW IN THE 360 MODELS TO GO BAD. AFTER THE REPLACEMENT NO PROBLEM MILES AT 100097. *TR

DRIVER HAD JUST EXITED A PARKING LOT ONTO A MAIN ROAD IN THE EVENING. THE CAR WAS COLD, HAD NOT BEEN USED SINCE THE MORNING. THE CAR FAILED TO TAKE POWER AFTER SLOWING DOWN FOR A LIGHT THAT WAS RED THAN CHANGED TO GREEN. THE CAR WAS ON AND IN DRIVE, BUT FAILED TO GO FURTHER. THERE WAS NO WARNING WHATSOEVER. THE DRIVER BRAKED AND STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING THE CAR BEHIND TO REAR END THE GMC. GMC DRIVER HAD PUT FLASHERS ON IMMEDIATELY. THE CAR WAS PUT IN PARK, TURNED OFF, THAN RESTARTED. THE GMC WAS PUT INTO DRIVE, BUT AGAIN WOULD ONLY ROLL. THE DRIVER PUT THE CAR INTO GEAR 3 ON THE AUTO TRANS, THAN 2. IN GEAR 2, THE CAR MOVED. THE GMC WAS IMMEDIATELY MOVED BACK TO ITS PARKING SPOT. A DIAGNOSTIC SHOWS THE TRANSMISSION HAS FAILED. ONLY 94,500 MILES, AND THE GM TRANSMISSION IS DEAD. IN LOOKING ON LINE AT CERTAIN CONSUMER DATA AND SPEAKING TO LOCAL MECHANICS, ALL POINT TO TRANSMISSION FAILURES ON THE GM SUV PRODUCTS, INCLUDING CHEVROLET TRAILBLAZER & GMC ENVOY. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS AND INSTRUMENT PANEL WENT OUT FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE HIGH BEAMS DID NOT WORK EITHER. THE ONLY WAY I COULD GET LIGHTS ON WAS TO HOLD THE FLASH-TO-PASS LIGHTS ON. I STOPPED IN A PARKING LOT, TURNED OFF THE CAR AND THEN STARTED IT AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS CAME BACK ON BUT WENT OUT AGAIN AFTER I STARTED DRIVING. I STOPPED AGAIN AND THE LIGHTS WORKED FINE FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS BUT I EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEM ON 11/3/2014. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AT DUSK, AND NIGHT, MY HEADLIGHTS JUST GO OFF FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE LIGHTS SOMETIMES WILL NOT WORK FOR MANY DAYS IN A ROW, MAKING IT NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT. THEN THEY START WORKING AGAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED SAFETY CONCERNS AND DIFFICULTY IN HAVING SAFE NIGHT TRANSPORTATION. THIS PROBLEM USUALLY STARTS AFTER RAIN OR SNOW. *TR

I WAS TRAVELING OVER A BRIDGE ON RAMP FROM ONE INTERSTATE FRWY TO ANOTHER .GOT TO CURVE ON BRIDGE AND HAD TO ABRUPTLY PUT THE BRAKES ON I FELT A SNAP IN BRAKE PEDAL THEN NO BRAKES AS I GOT OFF THE CURVE AND RELEASED BRAKE THE BRAKES ARE FINE BUT NOW I GET A BAD SHAKING IN FRONT WHEN SPEEDS OF 65 AND OVER LIKE THE TIRES ARE WOBBLING .I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED AND THE FIRST DAY ENGINE BLEW .THEY SAY IT WAS A REBUILD I FEEL SO RIPPED OFF .ALSO THE TIRE WARMING LIGHTS ARE AND SOMETIMES OFF .PLEASE HELP ME. *TR

ENGINE STALLED A FEW SECONDS AFTER STARTING, THEN WOULD NOT CRANK, ONLY CLICKED. I HAD THE CAR TOWED IN FOR SERVICE. TECHNICIAN CHECKED BATTERY. IT WAS FULLY CHARGED AND VEHICLE HAD FULL VOLTAGE. DIAGNOSTICS DETERMINED LOW VOLTAGE OUT FROM THE IGNITION SWITCH. RECOMMENDED IGNITION SWITCH SHOULD BE REPLACED. I HAD THE IGNITION SWITCH REPLACED TWICE ALREADY. I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THREE IGNITION SWITCHES IN THREE YEARS AT A TOTAL COST OF $817. I UNDERSTAND THAT GM HAS RECALLED IGNITION SWITCHES ON SEVERAL MODELS BUT THE ENVOY IS NOT PART OF THAT RECALL. OBVIOUSLY MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE RECALLED VEHICLES, WHY IS IT NOT PART OF THE RECALL? THE FIRST IGNITION SWITCH FAILED AT 65-70 MPH ON THE FREEWAY. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM. SINCE THE REST OF THE ELECTRONICS ARE CONNECTED TO THE IGNITION I HAVE NO SAFETY EQUIPMENT SUCH AS AIR BAGS. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, IT COULD HAVE BEEN FATAL. *TR
