BOTH HEADLIGHTS ABRUPTLY STOPPED WORKING. LOW-BEAM HEADLAMPS AND DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DID NOT FUNCTION. WHILE RESEARCHING POSSIBLE CAUSES AND SOLUTIONS, I DISCOVERED A GM SAFETY RECALL (NO. 14291) WHICH PRECISELY DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM. UPON PRESENTING THE VEHICLE FOR REPAIRS, THE SERVICING DEALER INDICATED THE RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE. GIVEN NO OTHER VIABLE OPTIONS, I APPROVED THE REPAIR, THE COST OF WHICH WAS $278. I CONTEND THAT MY VEHICLE SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER SAID RECALL AND AM ASKING NHTSA TO REVIEW THIS MATTER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 GMC ENVOY. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THERE WAS A SUDDEN LOSS OF POWER AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED FOR LIMP MODE. THE VEHICLE DRASTICALLY REDUCED SPEED TO LESS THAN 35 MPH. THE CONTACT HAD TO SLOWLY DRIVE IN THE EMERGENCY LANE. THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF AND BACK ON, BUT THE LIMP MODE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE OVER 35 MPH. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHO KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER CLEARED MULTIPLE CODES, BUT WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION. IN ADDITION, MONTHS LATER, THE ENGINE LOCKED AND FAILED TO FUNCTION. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE VIN AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE NOT AVAILABLE.

OIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I COULD DRIVE A VERY SHORT DISTANCE BEFORE THE OIL PRESSURE WOULD FALL DOWN TO ZERO. THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND THEN STOP ENGINE.

TAKATA RECALL- I WAS DRIVING HOME ON A BUSY CITY STREET AT 6:30 PM IT WAS DARK BOTH HEADLIGHTS MALFUNCTION AT SAME TIME. WHEN I ARRIVE HOME THE DOOM LIGHTS INSIDE THE CAR WOULD NOT GO OFF, ABOUT 45 MINUTES LATER THEY WENT OFF. I WAS AFRAID FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS AS I WAS DRIVING HOME IN DARK.

WHEN VEHICLE IS STATIONARY, OR IN MOTION, THE FUEL GAUGE GIVES INACCURATE GAS READING. FUEL GAUGE MODULATES FROM EMPTY TO FULL CONTINUOUSLY. EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON WHEN GAS IS IN CAR WHEN DRIVING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN EMPTY LIGHT COMES ON. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH A PEACE OF MIND GIVEN THIS PROBLEM. PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS EXACT PROBLEM WITH 2007 ENVOY IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET. *TR

I'M HAVING A PROBLEM WITH MY HEADLIGHTS GOING OFF WHILE I'M DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN WHILE THE LIGHTS ARE IN AUTOMATIC MODE AND WHEN I TRY TO SWITCH THEM ON MANUALLY AFTER IT HAPPENS IT TAKES A FEW MINUTES FOR THEM TO RESPOND. THIS HAS HAPPENED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. AND OTHERS THAT I KNOW WITH THE SAME MODEL VEHICLES ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS FAILED DURING DRIVING AT NIGHT NEARLY CAUSING A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. MANY LIVES COULD BE AFFECTED BECAUSE OF THIS WELL KNOWN DESIGN ISSUE NOT BEING ADDRESSED BY GMC. THERE IS A GMC RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM, BUT MY VEHICLE ISN'T INCLUDED. GMC NEEDS TO RE-EVALUATE THIS ISSUE AND INCLUDE MORE VEHICLES. THEY KNOW THE PROBLEM EXISTS AND SHOULD MAKE EFFORTS TO INCLUDE ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES. *TR
