I have a 2002 gmc envoy. It suddenly dies at highway speeds. No engine, no brakes, no steering. And won't restart for 30 or 40 minutes. This has happened 6 times, the last 2 on I-99 and the washington beltway, where I was nearly killed by the truck behind me. While searching the net , I discovered about 12 other owners of the same vehicle who experienced the same problems. The dealer can find no problem and gm refuses to help. After a month in the shop, my envoy was returned to me without a fix. The dealer says gm will offer no consideration. I called gm customer relations, talked to a monica cox, no help. Subsequent calls to her were not returned. This is a very dangerous vehicle as I have experienced more than once. I don't know how long my luck will hold out. The date of the event that I will indicate below will be for the last episode and is approximate. The vehicle was used but had less than 1000 miles on it when I purchased it. 953 to be exact.
