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.

My 2006 envoy denali's low beam lights are cutting out on me at night. I've read several cases on the internet that there was a recall on this. I'm concerned that this situation may cause an accident at night unexpectany.

Headlamps and fog lamps failed while operating vehicle

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.

Low beam headlights and daytime running lights have began failing intermittently. Vehicle was in motion. Low beams failed on an unlighted interurban highway at night. Scary! They stayed off for about 5 minutes, and then returned to operation. During this time I was driving, trying to vacate the highway, using high beams and fog lamps. Dtl failure noticed when entering garage. Headlight delay also fails at these times. Losing lights at 45 MPH on a darkened road is very unsafe. Dealer service department says problem may be a light relay that is known to have issues.

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.
