I was pulling up to park in a parking lot. I had total break failure. The electronic safety features failed- and there was no stopping the Envoy. I slid up the curb and into the building. The mechanic that repaired the Envoy has a written report of the safety systems getting stuck half opened and the break lines breaking and there wasn't any fluid in system.

The contact owned a 2006 GMC Envoy xl 370. The contact stated that the abs warning lamp illuminated, which indicated a malfunction. The vehicle was taken to the authorized dealer, but they were unable to replicate or diagnose the failure. The contact also indicated that there was a noise emitting from the front of the vehicle associated with the wheel hubs and they were not able to diagnose the failure. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop. The mechanic indicated that the driver side wheel hub was defective and that both front wheel hubs needed to be replaced. The dealer did not remedy the failure with the wheel hubs. In addition, the low beam headlights failed to work. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign numbers: 13v248000 (electrical system, visibility) and 14v755000 (exterior lighting); however, the parts needed were not available for several months.

On 12/23/13, while parked the vehicle died. When restarting, it was a little slow but did end up starting. On 12/24/13, I had the battery tested and it showed that the cca's just needed a good charge so I let the vehicle run for 45 minutes. A few hours later, the vehicle would not even turn over. On 12/25/13, removed the battery and reinstalled it. The vehicle started fine and ran well for a few days. On 1/1/14, vehicle stalled while driving. Ended up restarting but I had to give it gas to do so. On 1/2/14, I started the car to warm it up and it started fine. I let it run for 20-30 minutes before attempting to drive it. When I got in the vehicle, it said that the brake system was not working and the stabilitrack light was flashing on and off intermittently. I had to get a cab to work & have it towed to the shop. I'm hoping to hear back tomorrow in regards to what is going on. Also, had to get a rental vehicle in the meantime for transportation.

I was traveling north on the FL tpke. In my 2006 GMC Envoy on 11/8/11 just south of orlando at 9:30 pm when the car in front of me jammed on the breaks because the car in front of him was driving unsafely. When I jammed on my breaks the abs did not function and the breaks locked up. I was swerving violently from side to side across the two lane highway until I finally got the vehicle under control with much physical effort. I thought I was a dead man but I survived. Thank god there were no other cars around me or there would have been a terrible accident at 70 mph which is the speed limit. Luckily I was able to avoid striking the other two vehicles in the road. There was tire smoke everywhere. This is a serious problem and now I am afraid to drive my vehicle at highway speeds. GMC needs to be notified and something needs to be done about this.

: the contact stated when the brake pedal is applied, at various speeds, the brakes jerk. The dealership replaced the brake control module and sensor, but the problem has returned. Updated 4/11/2006 - the day the vehicle was purchased the consumer noticed that the stabilitrack service light and stabilitrack light was illuminated. The vehicle made noise when the brake was applied or when the vehicle accelerated. The consumer contacted the dealer and took the vehicle in to be serviced. The vehicle was returned tot he consumer and the light was off but the next day the noise returned.
