Wheel problem #1

I purchased this vehicle with new tires on it. Excessive tire wear was starting on the drivers side tire before the year mark of me purchasing it. There was no recalls open on that time that we could find. I have had to replace the fog lights on several occasions. It had electrical short that no one seemed to find and there was no way to locate without expensive diagnostic time. When I went to the dealer about recalls they informed me the only open was a window switch. After a front end accident at 30 mph the tire blew out on the drivers side on impact. I was informed in my estimate that there was a open recall which could lead to incorrect rim selection / tires for the car causing air leakage and possible accident. If I had known this before hand maybe this could have been prevented!.

Wheel problem #2

I have chrome wheels on my Envoy and they have a lot of corrosion on them. I loose a lot of air every two weeks. I mean I have to put air into them a lot. I would like to see a recall on the wheels.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 GMC Envoy. The contact stated the vehicle was taken for its regular maintenance when mechanic diagnosed that one of the lug nuts on the rear passenger side was fracture. The vehicle was repaired at an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 90,000. Bp.

Wheel problem #5

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.
