“My husband and I were traveling when the vehicle shut off with no warning at all and all the dash board lights came on. The vehicle would not restart but would turn. This happened saturday 9/2/17 on a country highway out in nowhere . We called a tow truck. Thank god for cellphones. On 11/12/2016 hub bearings replaced. 11/15/16 module and connector replaced and fuel level sensors and ring replaced. Three years ago A/C went out. Replaced.”
NHTSA complaint #11021659, filed 2017-09, 90,447 miles“Gm ignition switch problem with suvs!!!!!!! Was driving about 45 MPH with our grandkids and all power was lost. No power steering, no brakes. Radio and electric windows still worked after stopping (luckily safely). Service repair reported that ignition switch circuit that controls the engine shorted out turning off engine at 45 MPH. This is the 5th ignition switch on this vehicle. Gm has a larger ignition switch problem than they are acknowledging. Luckily we just got off the highway going 70 MPH or we would have crashed. …”
NHTSA complaint #10606771, filed 2014-06, 110,000 miles“I bought a used 2006 Gmc Envoy Denali with 69,000 miles in june 2010, by july I was replacing the air shocks on the right side of the vehicle. On about 7/28/2011 on the beltway where the speed limit is 65 I was in the far left lane approaching a left hand exit when my car stalled, I had run out of gas with no indication. I waited over an hour for someone to come put gas in my truck in about 100 degree tempature. I later ran out of gas on a back road coming to my house at night. Again no indicator light came on to let me know I was low on gas. …”
NHTSA complaint #10425985, filed 2011-09, 78,000 miles“Driving around a corner, wheels locked up, service stabilitrack light went on, steering wheel unresponsive to turning. Went to a shopping center and was unable to get out of parking space as wheels locked up and vehicle wouldn't turn. This should be a recall. The service stabilitrack light on dash can go on at anytime while driving. This can be dangerous when trying to turn on a busy street and nothing happens. It feels like the car is not responsive to the steering wheel, brakes and wheels.”
NHTSA complaint #10493613, filed 2013-01, 109,000 miles“While attempting a full stop after pulling into parking lot, vehicle would not stop, ABS came on and prevented envoy from reaching full stop. Had to put vehicle in neutral and use e-brake. Occurred 4 more times before I could take for service. Mechanic diagnosed issue with ABS sensors, although sensors did not report as faulty. Online research indicates this was a common GM failure from 02-08 in trucks in areas where salt/snow is prevalent. Remedy was disable traction control and ABS, cant afford to replace front bearings and rear sensors. …”
