When driving in dark on single lane unlite highwaylow beam lights suddenly turned off. I had to drive with high beams. After 20 minutes when checked the low beams worked but went out after a few minutes. Now intermittently working.
Three times when I turn the car on and put it in gear, the headlights would come on, then after about a week or two they go out, so I purchase new head lights that wasn't the problem.so I put the original ones back on two days later they work, three times it happen now they are out again. They always go out after being park for some length of time.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 gmc envoy. While driving 40 MPH, the headlights failed to work. After a few minutes, the headlights automatically turned on and worked normally. The failure occurred without warning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (williston motors, 1801 2nd ave w, williston, nd 58801) where it was diagnosed that the fuse box needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted at 888‑988‑7267 and stated that the VIN was not included in a recall. The manufacturer provided case number: 8-3395918942. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.
The light relay switch is bad. At night the lights go out and will only work if I turn on the bright lights after a while they come back on. I have received a special recall notice from gm but they said that my VIN number is not included even though the year make and model is they will only fix if I pay for it not sure why all VIN numbers are not included in recall if I'm having this problem the another VIN number is and they pay for fixing it at 100% regardless of the mileage. I had called and asked about the problem when it first started going out they said it was cost over $200.00 for the part. At that time I wasn't driving at night very little. But now I am and I need it fixed but they will not fix it under the special recall unless I pay for it. So I'm having to drive with my brights on when it goes out and I do not know when it will go out.
Both headlight low beams suddenly stopped working . High beams still work.
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.

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.
Takata recall- I was driving home on a busy city street at 6:30 pm it was dark both headlights malfunction at same time. When I arrive home the doom lights inside the car would not go off, about 45 minutes later they went off. I was afraid for my safety and others as I was driving home in dark.
I'm having a problem with my headlights going off while I'm driving down the road. It seems to happen while the lights are in automatic mode and when I try to switch them on manually after it happens it takes a few minutes for them to respond. This has happened on numerous occasions. And others that I know with the same model vehicles are having the same problem.

Highly dangerous situation! As I was driving at night on the highway, my headlights suddenly went out. Thankfully, I was in an area that had some overhead lighting or I would have been in a life-threatening situation. The only way I could see was to turn on the high beams. Now I cannot drive the car at night any longer unless I use the high beams at all times. When I called to find out if this issue, which as a safety one should be a manufacturer recall, I found that, while the car make/model/year in general was under a recall, my VIN was not. How can this be? I request that the recall for this serious issue be added for all 2007 gmc envoys. Our lives are at risk! Thank you.
Headlights have shutdown and only brigh lights function gm has a recall on the 2007 gmzc envoy for this specific problem but when I enter the VIN I provided it does not direct me to this specific recall I think my VIN should be covered since I read that approximately 318,000 envoys are under recall I appreciate your consideration into my request.
Both of my low beam head lights went out at the same time. I looked this up and found out that there was a recall on this on august 14, 2015 and I was not notified about this recall. I was pulling my vehicle into my garage when I noticed the lights were out. I checked both bulbs and fuses and they were all okay. The high beams, fog lights and turn signals work, just not the low beams on either side.
