Headlights continue to go out while driving city streets and highway. Windows hesitate to go up and make a grinding noise. At times smells like smoke and then dissipates.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the low beams failed to illuminate. The contact was not included in the federal safety agency campaign numbers: 13v248000 (electrical system and visibility), 12v406000 (electrical system and visibility) and 15v519000 (exterior lighting). The dealer also replaced the window regulator due to the windows failing to go up and down randomly. The vehicle was to be taken back to the dealer for further diagnostic testing. The failure mileage was not available.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that the headlights randomly shorted out more than twice. The contact replaced the #46 fuse for the relay due to the failure but was uncertain if the low beams would fail again. The manufacturer excluded the vehicle from a recall. The recall details were unknown. The failure mileage was 120,000.
Both headlights abruptly stopped working. Low-beam headlamps and daytime running lights did not function. While researching possible causes and solutions, I discovered a gm safety recall (no. 14291) which precisely described the problem. Upon presenting the vehicle for repairs, the servicing dealer indicated the recall did not cover my vehicle. Given no other viable options, I approved the repair, the cost of which was $278. I contend that my vehicle should have been covered under said recall and am asking the federal safety agency to review this matter.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. While driving approximately 65 MPH, there was a sudden loss of power and a warning indicator illuminated for limp mode. The vehicle drastically reduced speed to less than 35 MPH. The contact had to slowly drive in the emergency lane. The vehicle was turned off and back on, but the limp mode failure continued. The contact was unable to drive over 35 MPH. The vehicle was taken to a dealer who kept the vehicle for longer than two weeks. The dealer cleared multiple codes, but was unable to provide a solution. In addition, months later, the engine locked and failed to function. The vehicle was unable to be driven. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
When vehicle is stationary, or in motion, the fuel gauge gives inaccurate gas reading. Fuel gauge modulates from empty to full continuously. Empty light comes on when gas is in car when driving. Check engine light comes on when empty light comes on. It is impossible to drive this car with a peace of mind given this problem. Please note that this exact problem with 2007 envoy is all over the internet.
I attached a letter below.

Window power module caught fire, shut down engine, stranding us. Recall replaced the module but gmc will not address the fact that the high current draw never blew a fuse first to prevent the fire and not shut down the engine. Car started up and we started driving when smoke came out of door and engine stopped. Calls and e-mails to gmc have not been answered other than the basic recall to replace the module then later added sealer on 2nd recall. No electrical fixes. Electrical issue killed my remote engine starter but they refuse to reprogram or replace as it was an after market remote starter that came with the car..their electrical problem killed it, then they should be responsible and replace it.
On saturday 4/2/16 our area eastpointe (detroit) mi a snow storm was in the area. As I entered my vehicle snow fell on the drivers side window door module. I bushed off the snow and proceed to drive my vehicle. After about 5 minutes while on I-94 at 70 MPH all four power windows started to go up and down. After two or three times of this action all four windows stayed in the down position. At that time I noticed sparks and smoke coming from the switch positions on the module. I pulled over to side of the expressway and since this module is just a snap in, I removed it and disconnected the cables. Since the passenger side window was conveniently down and module was still smoking and emitting sparks I tossed it out the window into the snow. After about five minutes I retrieved the module and drove the secondary roads back home. Part number on the module label is 25811557. I did receive a recall on this vehicle (12180) and it was taken to the dealer for repair on 04/11/13. The work order indicates the recall was completed, but no indication of what was repaired or replaced. After contacting gm customer service and explaining what happen (case number 8-1915535761). I received a call from the dealer (ed rinke). The gentleman explained that the drivers door module on my vehicle was already repaired and that recall 12180 did not apply to my vehicle. Since there are a total of five recalls for this module on the 2007 envoy's I would hope that this module would be covered.
My exterior head lights do not work correctly. At dusk, they do not come on. Went online, nhsta shows a recall # 14291. Went to my local dealer, who ran a report stating my vehicle not on recall! I have the exact problem that your company described. Of course, the dealer offered to diagnose the concern for $120.00
I was driving and started smelling like something was burning in the car so I attempted to let the window down and could not. No windows will go down and I pulled over to check underneath hood to see if anything was burning and didnt see anything. I was afraid to drive the truck any further so I tried to lock the doors and was unable to lock any of the doors. The entire window panal is non functioning. I called the repair shop to find out that there was a recall on this part but I was never made aware of and when I go online to check it says recall list closed which I never heard of. I want this problem fixed and gmc needs to fix this problem I am afraid to drive because of risk of fire.
Faulty ignition switch caused vehicle engine to stall making all operation to fail car loss of control very dangerous while stalling on highways faulty code given is p1682 short circuit in ignition throttle and gas pedal also probable cause of faulty ECM,PCM also window module caught on fire while at a drive thru on a raining day gmc did not honor a recall for faulty window module nor the faulty ignition I have repaired the ignition and throttle body but problem still occurs and the car is deemed unsafe for my family
My driver side power window / door regulator assembly cable frayed and the window would not move up or down until repaired. This happened to the driver side door window in august 2014. Now in march 2015, being 7 months later the same issue has happened to the front passenger side door window / door regulator assembly. I use this vehicle for less than 5000 miles a year, I feel this issue needs to be looked in to for the defect of faulty cabling / poor quality. This will be the second time that I will pay out of pocket for the same issue within a year.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. The contact stated that all the windows opened and closed independently. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the door module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was serviced under the federal safety agency campaign number: 14v404000 (visibility); however, the failure recurred. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle stalled without warning and, during inclement weather, the hazard lights failed to turn off. The vehicle was taken back to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the power fuse box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 88,750. Updated 4/27/15*cn updated 9/18/2017
There have been 3 recalls on this vehicle. The module was "fixed" but was not replaced during the first recall. I have not received any further recalls from gm for this problem. Each time I check the VIN on the computer or with the dealer, it comes up "no further recalls on this vehicle". The "fix" only lasted about 11 months!! (and that was less than 9000 miles, since I do not drive much).
Headlights failed causing lights to go out while driving. Only the bright lights will work. Some kind of electrical malfunction. From my research, there have been many others.
Smoke from driver door control. Vehicle parked. Windows, door locks now inoperative.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. When starting the vehicle, all the lights illuminated on the instrument panel and the heat and air conditioner failed. The contact mentioned that the key became stuck in the ignition. The dealer stated that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.
On 7/5/2014, our house was destroyed by fire. Investigator determined the fire started in the garage where our 2007 gmc envoy was parked (10:00pm). On 8/8, we were watching morning news over coffee, and it was announced that gm was recalling 2006 and 2007 chevy trailblazers and gomc envoys, and owners where advised not to park their vehicles near any structure as the vehicle may catch fire. We notified our insurance company of the recall, provided them with the recall itself, which arrived at our home on 9/6. Our complaint is that general motors took far too long to announce this recall, and in so doing cost us our home, our garage, our car, my woodworking shop and all the tools contained therein, and our storage shed, or in other words, everything we owned.
February of 2014, gas gauge started to go haywire. After approximately 100 miles, needle of gas gauge goes to empty and low gas indicator light comes on. November of 2013, passenger air bag indicator light stays on. Does not matter if seat is empty or occupied. July 2011, right/front window regulator cable broke-replacement cost me $340.00. At this time shop found that front differential case leaking. This was replaced at no charge. Have not owned a gm product in over 15 years, now I know why. Come on gm stand behind your products, no matter what year they were manufactured. You claim that your vehicles are on the road for years and years, really...kind of hard to drive and trust a vehicle that does not function properly.
The check tire pressure light is always on. It doesn't matter if we have put air in using a gauge or if a mechanic has done it. When the vehicle is first turned on every single time the indicator light is lit and the message reads on the information screen. This is very aggravating and I am afraid that if the tire pressure really does need to be checked we won't do it because that light is always on.
Recently had the door lock windows switch issues repaired and now have intermittent door lock issues can't lock or unlock doors.
Tl * the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. While driving 50 MPH, the vehicle suddenly decelerated to 20 MPH. The air bag and check engine warning indicators illuminated and the vehicle veered to the right. The speed returned to normal when the accelerator pedal was depressed. The failure occurred on ten different occasions. The manufacturer was notified. The dealer stated that the ignition switch needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 100,000.
My husband and I purchased a 2007 gmc envoy slt since about a week after we got it the rear wiper comes on by itself, the only way to turn it off is to turn it on all the way and turn it off. While driving especially at night the headlights just go off which is very scary especially on dark roads. Service stabilatrak comes on while driving, tire pressure monitor comes on when there is nothing wrong with my tires.
I got into the truck to leave work shifted into reversed half way thru the turn the wheel locked up and truck shut off. I put in park and restarted no problem the next day same thing at a red light wheel lock needs to be restarted. It sounds like the same issues on the recall but my truck is not on the list.
Inaccurate fuel gauge caused the 2007 gmc envoy to unexpectedly run out of gasoline and stall as the vehicle was turning at an intersection. The engine shut off and the power steering failed to operate as other vehicles were approaching the intersection. I was not able to get the vehicle completely off of the road before it stopped. This could have caused a serious crash. Gm needs to be held accountable for correcting this serious safety related defect. Why has there been a recall covering certain vehicles under the federal safety agency campaign number 14v223000 but not in the case of this 2007 gmc envoy when the end result of the defect can also cause this vehicle to run out of fuel and increase the risk of a crash?
To whom this may concern, on march 20th 2014 I was driving on a busy street when my 2007 gm envoy stopped running, my gas tank was nearly full and my battery nearly new was reading 14 volts on the dash gauge, I was able to run off the street, nothing damaged, no warning lights showed up, it restarted back up with no problem, I was just getting on a busy highway I-70, the reason I am notifying you is if this happened minutes later I would of gotten run over by a other traffic, I drive this busy stretch of I-70 between st charles, missouri and wentzville, missouri, 40 miles a day during rush hour. Yes I will spend more time in the slow lane from now on. Thanks due to recent safety complaints of ignitions with other vehicles I was better prepared of what to do if this sort of thing happened being an owner of a gmc product.
