1 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 12/08/2017

I closed the rear glass window hatch and the glass exploded. The shattered glass caused cuts and abrasions on my exposed skin. My SUV was parked in my driveway at the time. The security cameras at my home taped the incident as it occurred.

2 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 07/03/2004

I purchased my GMC Envoy with 17,000 miles a year and a half ago. Since purchase, my radio has had to be replaced twice because the cd player stops working. Since the last time it was replaced which was about 6 months ago:my cd player has stopped working again. The delaer says that since my vehicle is out of warranty, I will have to buy a new radio. I do not understand this concept because the radio has a year warranty on it. This is ridculous because this will be the third radio and the car only has 45,000 miles. Am I going to have to replace my radio every 15,000 miles? the type of radio that I have is a bose 6 disc in-dash cd radio. Can you please help me? I have had so many problems with my dealership and this vehicle that I will never buy another one. I need some professional advice. Thanks.

3 Radio/tape Cd Player problem

Failure Date: 01/19/2004

When the vehicle is on for an extended about of time (more than one hour) the surface of the radio gets extremely hot and has burnt my fingers. I confronted the dealership and they simply said to turn down the interior lighting (which was an insult). By surface I do not mean the buttons, but the surface around the buttons which is easily accessible. Numerous times I have reached down to adjust the radio and, while keeping my eyes on the road, touched the surface of the radio next to the buttons. This then made me jump at which time I easily could have lost control of the vehicle. This happens every time I drive the vehicle, this is why the number of failures is 800.

Antenna was broken off @ the dealer, towing or storage company where also flat front tire, door ding, bumper ding, shift boot broken, car squeals from the front right (very annoying).
