What owners say

Filed Feb 8, 2019 · Fuel system · 87,500 miles · NY

The fuel level sensor is malfunctioning giving me erroneous high and low readings. I noticed in august 2011, gm issued a special coverage for this exact problem, however it was only good for 10 years or 120,000 miles. My envoy is 11-1/2 years old, but only has approx. 87,500 miles on it. Seeing this is an obviously safety issue which has LED to at least 1 known accident, I would like to know if there is anyway that you can help me get gm to extend the coverage to my envoy? My envoy also recently had a special coverage initiated for the headlamp driver module (hdm). I was able to get that fixed because gm issued the coverage for a total of 12 years and 150,000 miles. So the precedent has been set to provide coverage for a vehicle my age. Any help that you could provide would be appreciated. Thank you.

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.

My complaint is regarding low beam lights going off intermittently. There is a gmc recall for this same problem, but my vehicle isn't included. This issue creates a safety hazard when it happens due to either driving with high beams on or just fog lights on. 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.

My safety complaint is in regards to the gm safety recall 14291 low beam headlamps and drl could fail to illuminate. Ref no. 15v519000. I am experiencing the exact same problem described in this safety recall. My relay switch has failed and my low beam lamps do not function in my 2007 gmc envoy. Luckily it happened when I was in my driveway and not on the street. However, gm and the dealer have stated that my vehicle is not included in the recall for some reason and they refuse to replace my faulty relay mentioned in the recall. I believe gm needs to extend the recall to include more 2007 gmc envoy's. Gmc customer service told me there is nothing they can do to help me. It is not safe to drive my car right now! Please help.

For many, many, months my low beam lights have been going out while driving. All other lights including the high beams will work. It is very unsafe to be driving at night and have your lights go out. I have taken the vehicle to several different auto shops, but they can't find anything wrong. I have seen many complaints about this issue, so I know it is the vehicle. Gmc needs to do the right thing and fix this problem. If gmc won't do it on their own, the federal safety agency needs to get involved and get gmc to recall these vehicles and fix this problem. This is a very serious safety issue.

While driving at night on a city street the interior/dashboard lights, radio and headlights shut off. The car was able to drive off the main road and after turning the headlight switch to the left and right several times the lights came back on. The cause of the problem is unknown. After several weeks I have not seen the problem reoccur and have not been able to recreate it. Cause of the problem is unknown. I contacted the gm dealership and they said that nothing like this had been reported to them on other vehicles, and to bring the car in if the problem reoccurs.+

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.
