Hi ! As many other gmc envoy costumer stock at the earlier 50-100 thousand milles with engine problem caused by misfire cylinder . I do a have a problem with my SUV engine the classic misfire #6 cylinder that it cost a $2000 or plus to get repair , short worlds loosing the engine . If you guys check about this issue is extremely big and horrible thousand people a cross the country dealing with this issue .I did noticed this issue just driving , I got to stop sign and the engine starts shaking and the check engine come on , after I took to a mechanic shop for diagnostic and put about $200 dollars on spark plugs and coil and noting changed I was tell by the mechanic that it was a lower compression on the 6 cylinder so bad valve .
As I was driving down I-75 at 10:30pm my headlights just randomly went off! I was driving approximately 70 MPH and I was in an area that had no lights alongside the road. I slammed on my brakes to attempt to move to the side of the road. After I slowed enough to move over, my headlights went back on. I was so shook up, I'm not sure if my rear lights went off as well. This type of incident happened again this past weekend and I had to pull to the side of the road and actually shut off the engine and re-start my car twice before my lights went back on.today, on my way to work, in the dark, just before I was pulling into our parking lot, they went off again. I also have noticed that when I press on the automatic window buttons, my lights dim and then brighten. Another issue is the dash light for the gas cap turns on and off randomly while driving the car. In addition, my air bag light has been on for several months, does not go off and yet, it not included in the recall of the dangerous airbags going off randomly and causing accidents and injuries. All of the above issues have occurred while the vehicle was in motion.I'm not sure if these are related or not. All of the issues are very serious safety issues and need to be addressed.

I have 2006 gmc envoy, whole door panel went out before recall, so we paid $2000 and had fixed, when recall came out, they reimbursed us. But because recall wasn't out yet I am thinking they put old part in, this was around 2008. You cannot drive a car safely with nothing working on driver door, I have kids in back I need window lock, can't open my door or window if emergency happened. Very frustrating. I got a letter in august 2015 stating that recall #12180 driver door switch short circuit recall had not been done on my car yet. And approximately a week later it went out, I had been getting these cards but because I had it done in 2008 I assumed it was fine, but now doing exact same thing, so the gmc recall card says take to garber gmc in green cove springs, fl and will fix for free, first time I took it up there they said part not listed on computer so can't do it cause gmc won't pay them back, then got service mgr involved and he said bring it up and he will charge me $90 to diagnose it, I said I don't have that kind of money. He waived it to see if it was the recall part, when I called to check on it the service man that handled it said it was that part but the recall had closed, my car had too many miles on it, etc.. What does that matter? I know it is the same part, it is doing the same thing. Then I get from service manager we will do for $500.00, when first time cost us $2000, my husband said no, we have card here saying this is recall and you will fix for no charge, now they are saying it isn't that part, I have had several stories, but if it was recalled they need to fix it. Whether or not it was done before the recall came out. They probably put old part in then, because recall had not been put out yet. Please help me get my car fixed, very frustrating, dangerous as well. Thank you. [xxx] information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
While servicing my vehicle at an authorized gm dealership, I was notified of the recent recall regarding headlamps which get hot and can fail. It has been nearly 8 months since that recall was issued, and yet there remains no identifiable remedy or solution as to how they will resolve the issue and repair / replace the defective components.. Entitled to safe vehicles, I am unsure as to how or why gm would believe that 8 months to not even have announced a solution is an absurdity. At this point, the period of time in which the manufacturer has had to develop and implement a solution is simply unacceptable as a consumer. I am under the belief that their solution to the problem is simple, they are going let the vehicles age a few more years and hope by that time, additional vehicles requiring repair will no longer be on the road and the issue will magically go away. As owners of this vehicle, I am entitled to the remedy as promised under recall gm 14291, and I do not think that it is acceptable for manufacturers to sit on open recalls for vehicles currently on our roadways which have been already been identified as having a safety defect in need of defect replacement or repair.

While driving my headlights have begun to cut off for about 5 to 10 minutes, then come back on. If not for my fog lights I would not be able to see.
I was driving about 65mph down I-35 in austin, texas and suddenly my car dropped to about 40mpg and the "stabilitrak off" message appeared. A definite safety hazard because someone could have, and almost did, rear-end me. I had to get off the freeway and turn my car off for about 10 minutes. Restarted and made it home ok. Today, august 28, the same thing happened again.. It happens without any warning. There should be a safety recall on this. I'm surprised that there has not been a major incident when this happens.
To start off, when you go in drive and start to move the truck lost power to the motor but still stayed running. Seemed like the truck didn't know if it wanted to be in 4x4 or 2 wheel. I took my foot off gas and min later it was fine. Keeps happening . The driver seat back support felt like it started to over heat the motor on it, now not working at all. And sometimes as I use my brakes and come to a stop easy it feels like I lost brakes as if ABS keeps going nuts.
