“Last saturday my power window master switch melted in the middle of the night. I woke up sunday morning with a smoky smell in my car. I took it to Gmc to do a diagnostics test on it and they determined it was in fact the master power window switch. They told me that the component melted in the middle of the night.”

“The drivers door window switch got warm then stopped working, all other windows work with there switches. I am a body tech so I pull the switch out and found the it got so hot it melted. To my surprise it did not trip a breaker or blew a fuse.”

“My 2007 Gmc Envoy has been experiencing ongoing issues with the air conditioning system. The air conditioner itself functions well when it's working, but a few minutes after turning it on the blower stops working. I've also noticed that after the controls are turned off and the unit stays off for a couple of hours it will begin to work again if turned on again. It seems other users are having some of the same issues. I would really like information on filing a recall request.”

“While driving a neighborhood street in maine, I first noticed my front, driver's side power window going up and down on its own. Then, white smoke started pouring from the power window controls. I pulled into a nearby driveway to pull the fuse, but it must have blown on its own because the window controls stopped working. I drove it straight to the dealership where the power window motor replacement was more than $500. Ouch! I'm just glad the entire car didn't burst into flames.”

“2007 Gmc Envoy. Driving on interstate on saturday 1/8/11, cold snowy day, all of a sudden steam started to come out of vents, all windows fogged up could not see and strong smell of antifreeze. Had no place to pull over. A good thing my wife was in passenger seat she took off her coat and kept the windshield clear till I could exit the highway. Took car to dealer and was told the heater core was leaking. This could have caused a bad accident if we did not act quickly.”
