INVESTIGATING THE AIR BAG SAFETY RISK FOR MY GMC 2007 ENVOY, I DISCOVERED THAT PEOPLE WERE REPORTING THAT THEY HAD CRASHES BUT THE AIRBAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. SO WE DON'T KNOW HOW SAFE THEY ARE SINCE THEY DON'T EVEN GO OFF. THE NTSA NEEDS TO INVESTIGATE THE TESTS AND COMPLAINTS.

GMC HAS KNOWN THAT THEY HAVE INTERMITTENT STABILITRAK SYSTEM SINCE OCT 1-2008. DON'T KNOW IF IT ACTUALLY SHUTS OFF ABS BRAKES OR JUST SETS INDICATOR LIGHTS OFF. COMES ON MORE FREQUENTLY IN COLD MONTHS. TSB #08-05-25-005 WHY SHOULD CONSUMER PAY FOR EITHER DEFECTIVE STEERING YOKE YAW SENSOR, REPROGRAMMING OR NEW $400 EBCM OR $250 DEALER SERVICE CHARGE EACH TIME IT COMES UP. IN WINTER, ANOTHER ARTICLE SAID IT WAS BAD CONNECTORS. THAT WOULD BE A MFG DEFECT AS WELL. ALWAYS COMES UP IN SHARP SLOW SPEED TURNS. ALREADY PAID FOR TWO FRONT HUBS AS THEY SAID IT WAS THE SPEED SENSOR, PROBLEM WAS NOT RESOLVED. BRAKING OR KNOWN STABILTRAK PROBLEM OVER SEVERAL YEARS SHOULD WARRANT A RECALL NOT TSB WHERE THE COST IS ABSORBED BY THE VEHICLE OWNER.,

WINDOW POWER MODULE CAUGHT FIRE, SHUT DOWN ENGINE, STRANDING US. RECALL REPLACED THE MODULE BUT GMC WILL NOT ADDRESS THE FACT THAT THE HIGH CURRENT DRAW NEVER BLEW A FUSE FIRST TO PREVENT THE FIRE AND NOT SHUT DOWN THE ENGINE. CAR STARTED UP AND WE STARTED DRIVING WHEN SMOKE CAME OUT OF DOOR AND ENGINE STOPPED. CALLS AND E-MAILS TO GMC HAVE NOT BEEN ANSWERED OTHER THAN THE BASIC RECALL TO REPLACE THE MODULE THEN LATER ADDED SEALER ON 2ND RECALL. NO ELECTRICAL FIXES. ELECTRICAL ISSUE KILLED MY REMOTE ENGINE STARTER BUT THEY REFUSE TO REPROGRAM OR REPLACE AS IT WAS AN AFTER MARKET REMOTE STARTER THAT CAME WITH THE CAR..THEIR ELECTRICAL PROBLEM KILLED IT, THEN THEY SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE AND REPLACE IT.

ON SATURDAY 4/2/16 OUR AREA EASTPOINTE (DETROIT) MI A SNOW STORM WAS IN THE AREA. AS I ENTERED MY VEHICLE SNOW FELL ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WINDOW DOOR MODULE. I BUSHED OFF THE SNOW AND PROCEED TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE. AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES WHILE ON I-94 AT 70 MPH ALL FOUR POWER WINDOWS STARTED TO GO UP AND DOWN. AFTER TWO OR THREE TIMES OF THIS ACTION ALL FOUR WINDOWS STAYED IN THE DOWN POSITION. AT THAT TIME I NOTICED SPARKS AND SMOKE COMING FROM THE SWITCH POSITIONS ON THE MODULE. I PULLED OVER TO SIDE OF THE EXPRESSWAY AND SINCE THIS MODULE IS JUST A SNAP IN, I REMOVED IT AND DISCONNECTED THE CABLES. SINCE THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WAS CONVENIENTLY DOWN AND MODULE WAS STILL SMOKING AND EMITTING SPARKS I TOSSED IT OUT THE WINDOW INTO THE SNOW. AFTER ABOUT FIVE MINUTES I RETRIEVED THE MODULE AND DROVE THE SECONDARY ROADS BACK HOME. PART NUMBER ON THE MODULE LABEL IS 25811557. I DID RECEIVE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE (12180) AND IT WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR ON 04/11/13. THE WORK ORDER INDICATES THE RECALL WAS COMPLETED, BUT NO INDICATION OF WHAT WAS REPAIRED OR REPLACED. AFTER CONTACTING GM CUSTOMER SERVICE AND EXPLAINING WHAT HAPPEN (CASE NUMBER 8-1915535761). I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE DEALER (ED RINKE). THE GENTLEMAN EXPLAINED THAT THE DRIVERS DOOR MODULE ON MY VEHICLE WAS ALREADY REPAIRED AND THAT RECALL 12180 DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. SINCE THERE ARE A TOTAL OF FIVE RECALLS FOR THIS MODULE ON THE 2007 ENVOY'S I WOULD HOPE THAT THIS MODULE WOULD BE COVERED.

I GOT IN TO MY CAR THE OTHER NIGHT AT AROUND 7PM PUT IT IN DRIVE AND THE HEADLIGHTS WOULD COME ON SO I TRIED THE SWITCH TO TURN THEM ON MANUALLY AND THAT DIDN'T WORK, SO I TURN MY CAR OFF AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND THEY STILL WOULDN'T WORK MY HI-BEAMS WORKED BUT MY LOW BEAMS AND MY DAYTIME RUNNING LIGHTS DON'T WORK ANYMORE. I HAVE REPLACE THE BULBS AND THE RELAY SWITCH AND STILL NOTHING. SO NOW I HAVE TO DRIVE WITH MY HI-BEAMS ON WHICH IS NOT GOOD I GOT PULLED OVER FOR DRIVING WITH THEM ON. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND THEY SAID THAT MY POWERTRAIN WARRANTY DOESN'T COVER FOR THEM TO LOOK AT IT & THEY WANT $75/HR JUST TO LOOK AT IT I CAN'T AFFORD THAT.
