2008 GMC Envoy Electronic stability control Problems

“My service stabilitrak and air bag lights has been on since I purchased the vehicle. I have taken it to a mechanic and they stated that they did not see a problem. I was wondering if this is an on-going issue and if there are any recalls for this.”

“There are times when I don't know if my vehicle will start. I put the key in and sometimes it starts right up and other times, I have to keep turning and turning and wait until it will catch on.

There have been times when it would work fine for one month with no incident, then it will not switch on. Seems like when I take it to the shop, that is when the car decides to act right. …”

“In january, 2012, after a day of making several stops (church, visit family, movie), we stopped for a late night dinner). The restaurant was closing, so we returned to the vehicle in less than 5 minutes. When we returned to the vehicle, the car would not start. After several unsuccessful attempts, we had to have the truck towed. Since it was late night, we had to have the vehicle towed to the home and then to a repair shop. After being in the repair shop for several days and after several diagnostic tests,, we were told the ignition switch was replaced. …”
