GMC Envoy key fob problems

My rear lift gate does not lock with or without the key fob nor with the power door lock button. There is no manual way to lock my doors it seems to be a poor design and a safety factor. My wife is afraid to drive because anyone can open the lift gate and rob her or even myself.

The horn failed to work twice during the warranty period and was repaired by the dealer both times. The horn failed to work again shortly after it was out of warranty. Local dealer says there is no service bulletin on it being a known defect. The horn does work with the key fob. Problem is in the horn button in center of steering wheel. Sounds like a safety defect to me. I rarely use, maybe that's the problem.

I was driving about 25 miles per hour @ night when all the warning lights on the dash came on and all the gauges read zero except the speedometer and tach, transmission gear selector wasn't indicating what gear I was in & radio also killed. Headlights, wipers & directions were still functional. I only had a mile to drive to get home. Parked vehicle in garage and shut off....only to discover that power locks had failed and I was locked in car, power windows were also out! Removed key from ignition and fortunately the remote key fob unlocked the door. Had this been an emergency situation, I would have no way to exit the car nor would any passengers. Anyone else having this problem? I contacted dealer to apprize them of this new problem and was advised that if it's intermittent they would have problems fixing it. The vehicle seemed to reset in the morning and all dash warning lights back to normal!

The key fob, used to unlock the car, will not unlock the driver side door. I can hear a clicking noise like the latch is trying to disengage, but it will not. The remedy for this is to leave the window open in order to press the unlock button inside the car or to wait and continuously press the unlock button the key fob (the latch inside the door will eventually unlock the car).

I rolled my window down part way and it would not roll up. The window switch on the driver side which includes the door lock for that door did not work. My key fob would not work also. I have been having off and on problems with the window not working properly but it never did this. I had to drive 10 mile to my local auto mechanic and it all of a sudden worked. I took my vehicle back to my mechanic today 2/11/13 and he said I have a defective switch and that there is a recall on this vehicle for this problem. I contacted lunghammer gmc and they said my vehicle is not part of the recall. I would like to know what my options are because the dealership said I have to pay $105.00 for them to look at it and maybe we can get gm to do something.

I tried to unlock my car doors with the key fob. All other doors unlocked except driver's side door. I manually unlocked it and noticed an odor that smelled "hot". I proceeded to turn on my car and try to roll the window down which suddenly would not work. The entire panel on the drivers side door would not function. I drove about .3 miles and my drivers side window started to go down and then it stopped it did this again and then the entire window went down and I heard a tiny "poof' and smoke started barreling out of the entire door panel. I immediately threw my car into park, turned it off, opened the door, jumped out and turned on the hazard lights. Called the fire department and by the time they arrived the smoke had gone away they tried to start it and it turned over very quickly, too quickly that the fireman made a comment about it. It would not start. Then he tried again and it would do nothing. Had it towed.

Exterior power rear view mirrors will not stay in same position. The mirrors are to automatically move into proper position when the key fob is depressed. Majority of the time the mirrors stop in the wrong position.

Uncommanded movement of outside rear view mirrors. Drivers and passengers outside rear view memory mirrors wander and do not go back to a previously set positions. Pressing key fob to unlock doors, inserting key into ignition or pressing memory recall button causes mirror movement from preset positions requiring manual readjustments every time vehicle is driven. When using tilt in reverse function, mirrors do not return to initial driving position. Mirrors also drift out of position while highway driving for extended periods of time (mainly driver's side). Vehicle has been to dealer service department 6 times for this particular problem. Both mirrors have been replaced, passenger mirror currently operating properly after replacement. Presented service department with a copy of gm service bulletin 02-08-64-008 dated april 2002 during my last visit (mar 2003) to have drivers mirror corrected. They stated several other customers have the same problem and gm has directed them to not replace mirrors despite the gm service bulletin. They could not provide any time frame they expect a resolution from gm if any and did not open a service ticket for my vehicles discrepancy during the last visit. Properly adjusted rear view mirrors are a required safety item for all vehicles licensed to be driven on public roads. Malfunctioning mirrors clearly jeopardize public safety and it is obvious from the information available, gm has a safety problem with their product requiring immediate attention and resolution. Any additional information and help resolving this safety issue will be appreciated.
