2004 GMC ENVOY Complaints

VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND 11 HOURS LATER CAR IGNITED ON FIRE AND BURNED COMPLETELY. SECURITY FOOTAGE SHOWS THAT VEHICLE WAS UNATTENDED AND THAT THERE WAS NO TAMPERING. FIREFIGHTERS OBSERVED THAT THE FIRE STARTED AT THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE ABS LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER THE FACT I HAD THE BREAKS SERVICED A FEW YEARS AGO. THE AIRBAG LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR ABOUT A YEAR. NOW MY BREAK LIGHT STOPPED WORKING, I REPLACED THE FUSE AND STILL NOT WORKING AND NOW THE HEADLAMPS STOPPED WORKING. THEY ONLY WORK ON HIGH BEAM.

MY ENVOY'S CRUISE CONTROL WILL NOT ENGAGE AT ANY SPEED ABOVE 60 MPH. WHEN THE CRUISE CONTROL BUTTON IS PRESSED THE CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT WILL COME ON AND GO OFF AGAIN, WITHOUT ENGAGING THE CRUISE CONTROL SETTING. HOWEVER, AT ANYTHING 55 AND UNDER THE CRUISE CONTROL WILL ENGAGE FINE. ALSO MY 4X4 WILL NOT WORK EITHER.
