Headlights problems of the 2007 GMC Envoy - part 1

The contact owns a 2007 GMC Envoy. The contact stated while driving approximately 60 mph and also at other speeds, the low beam headlights became inoperable. The contact was able to activate the high beam headlights to continue driving. The contact stated that the failure with the low beam headlights was intermittent. The contact stated there was no warning light illuminated. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact purchased replacement bulbs for vehicle however, the failure persisted. The contact researched and related the failure to NHTSA campaign number: 15v519000 (exterior lighting) however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 153,000.

We have a 2007 GMC Envoy, intermittently our headlamps and daytime running lamps would cut off and on, sometimes while we have been driving in the city and on the highway and sometimes right when we put the vehicle in drive before we move. About a week ago they cut off and have not ever cut back on. We found on the NHTSA website that there had been a recall for the headlamps and daytime running lamps on 2006 - 2007 GMC Envoys, the recall is for the headlamp module. We contacted our local dealer about getting the recall repaired but were told our "VIN" was not included in the recall. We also contacted gm directly and spent over an hour on the phone with their customer support as well as a supervisor only to be told over and over there was nothing they could do to help. We took our vehicle to the dealer for repair since it is illegal to drive at night without headlights, after they diagnosed the issue with our 2007 GMC Envoy they reported that the problem with our 2007 GMC Envoy is the exact same issue as the ones that are covered in the recall, the headlamp module is bad! we once again called gm, gave them the diagnoses but once again they said there is nothing they can do! needless to say we are beyond frustrated.

Headlights have intermittently shut off while vehicle is traveling.

When driving at night with lights on low beams, the headlights will go out and only the high beams work. This happens when the vehicle is in motion, on both rural and city highways. This has been going on for 6 plus months. Most recently, last night.

Regular headlights go off and need to use brights to drive at night.

Three times when I turn the car on and put it in gear, the headlights would come on, then after about a week or two they go out, so I purchase new head lights that wasn't the problem. So I put the original ones back on two days later they work, three times it happen now they are out again. They always go out after being park for some length of time.

Headlights continue to go out while driving city streets and highway. Windows hesitate to go up and make a grinding noise. At times smells like smoke and then dissipates.

Takata recall- I was driving home on a busy city street at 6:30 pm it was dark both headlights malfunction at same time. When I arrive home the doom lights inside the car would not go off, about 45 minutes later they went off. I was afraid for my safety and others as I was driving home in dark.

Both headlights abruptly stopped working. Low-beam headlamps and daytime running lights did not function. While researching possible causes and solutions, I discovered a gm safety recall (no. 14291) which precisely described the problem. Upon presenting the vehicle for repairs, the servicing dealer indicated the recall did not cover my vehicle. Given no other viable options, I approved the repair, the cost of which was $278. I contend that my vehicle should have been covered under said recall and am asking NHTSA to review this matter.

Low beam headlights failed during driving at night nearly causing a serious accident. Many lives could be affected because of this well known design issue not being addressed by GMC. There is a GMC recall for this same problem, but my vehicle isn't included. GMC needs to re-evaluate this issue and include more vehicles. They know the problem exists and should make efforts to include all affected vehicles.

Highly dangerous situation! as I was driving at night on the highway, my headlights suddenly went out. Thankfully, I was in an area that had some overhead lighting or I would have been in a life-threatening situation. The only way I could see was to turn on the high beams. Now I cannot drive the car at night any longer unless I use the high beams at all times. When I called to find out if this issue, which as a safety one should be a manufacturer recall, I found that, while the car make/model/year in general was under a recall, my VIN was not. How can this be? I request that the recall for this serious issue be added for all 2007 GMC Envoys. Our lives are at risk! thank you.

Headlights have shutdown and only brigh lights function gm has a recall on the 2007 gmzc Envoy for this specific problem but when I enter the VIN I provided it does not direct me to this specific recall I think my VIN should be covered since I read that approximately 318,000 Envoys are under recall I appreciate your consideration into my request.
