While going approximately 60 MPH the low beam headlights just go out with only the parking lights and fog lights working. Also most of the gauges on the instrument panel do not work including the gas gauge. After some internet research many others are having these same issues.

Bought new and loved the ride.list price was over $42,000. Well maintained. 1st lost speedometer and other gauges. Replaced instrument cluster. 40k miles replaced blower motor. 60k miles window behind backseat just dropped. Replaced regulator (I think). 62k miles check engine light - replaced fuel cap then took to dealer - $600 replaced a oxygen sensors. Check engine light came back on a few days later with same code. Just driving with it now. 68k miles - replaced power steering pump.89k miles - driver side power window module burnt - replaced. 91k miles - while replacing driver side headlight found wire to light was melted. 98k miles rear speakers quite working. Probably a couple of things I have forgotten. 8-12-14 it has 99360 miles on it and still love the ride but have lost faith in gm. I have had 7 gm vehicles and will have no more after this one.some of these items have had a recall but not for this vehicle even though the same parts are in this one as the recalled vehicles.

Went to replace head light bulb to find out that I had to replace the wiring do to it was melted. The filler neck on the fuel tank is cracked, causing an evap leak in witch I found out through a garage and 5 diff. Salvage yards. And last, 6 diff. Times will driving I lost power will driving. I had to turn the ignition off, wait about 3 sec. Before it would start and go. The first time was in the middle of an intersection and the rest happened while on a regular road. I explained to my wife what to do if this happens to her and it did once, the others while I was driving.

This vehicle seems to have an electrical drain or electrical ghost of some sorts. The battery has been replaced by the dealer 4 time with the previous owner. That was the dealers cure. Then when I purchased it I replaced the battery.then it was replaced for the 6th time 18 months later. The rear window on the tail gate kept going down on it's own until the motor flew apart. The window behind the rear seat went down on it's own and does not work anymore. The retractable back roof will not engage due to the rear window. Driving down the road the AC will come on by itself also the radio, the seat heaters. Now while I'm driving at night the headlights will go out on their own, luckily the bright lights still work, but that's not helping the poor soul in front of me. Gm says that there is no recall on any of this but I'm almost terrified to drive this vehicle or let anyone else drive it at night or anytime for that matter. Not to mention any kind of electrical problems that I may of overlooked.

My speedometer has stopped working. The gas gauge says empty when I have just fueled the car to full. The car will surge forward when I am backing out of the drive way and putting car in drive. I have to immediately press on the brake and return the car to neutral position to stop from running into parked cars or the curb. Tonight we were leaving the park and both headlights ( low beam) are not working. All other lights and flashers on the car work. The interior light on the left half of the A/C controller does not work.the motor in the rear window went out. The dealership charged me $ 1000 to replace the motor and then they advised me that the middle window motor was bad and that would be an additional $600 to repair. I only could afford the back window motor. This car is my only mode of transportation and I cannot believe that gm has npt placed a recall on all of these issues.

My fiance was driving my 2004 gmc envoy SUV. While driving reported to be approximately 40 MPH; the car in front of her slammed on her brakes, she attempted to brake, swerved to the right to avoid the car in front of her, crashing into a utility pole. She was wearing her seat belt. During this time neither the driver or passenger side airbag deployed. She was taken by ambulance treated for scrapes & bruises, pain, minor injuries, major injuries ruled out by x-rays & ct scans, then released. I understand the theory " if a person is able to walk away from the crash the vehicle did it's job." my concern was not much of a concern until the responding emt's, officers, and mechanic at the place where the car is currently stored all voiced concerns regarding the fact no airbag deployed in this accident. I also became concerned after seeing the damage done to the vehicle. We are not officially sure of the status of the car at this time as we are still waiting to hear from the adjuster. However, the mechanic & responding officer believe it is totaled. The entire front window shattered, passenger side door is ripped off hanging on a thread, the entire front end/grill ripped off, both headlights crushed, the passenger side headlight is no longer there, the passenger side front tire entirely missing along with anything holding it in place, the glove compartment is almost touching the front passenger seat. The passenger seat was pushed back toward the back seat of the car as well. My fiance was alone in the vehicle, the concern is if she hadn't been, what would have happened to a passenger...clear speculation , but the airbag may have been the only saving grace a passenger would have had. We have contacted the dealership, gm, and consumer affairs, and now the federal safety agency with this concern. Thank you for taking the time to review this report.
