Exterior Lighting Problems of GMC Envoy - part 1

Issue: hazard warning/turn signal flasher module failure. Description: right front and rear turn signal and right front and rear hazard warning not working outside or inside vehicle. Replaced burned out right front turn signal/hazard. Replaced right rear turn signal/hazard due to corrosion on base of bulb. Looked at fixtures when replacing and all appeared good but right turn signals and right hazard warnings still not operational outside or inside vehicle. Available for inspection: yes, upon request. Risk/danger: cannot use right blinker or hazard warning flashers to notify approaching or oncoming vehicles of right turn or hazard which could cause other vehicles to crash into stopped or slowing vehichle. Confirmed: no. Inspected: not by anyone other than myself (dana moore, daughter of 85 year owner). Any kind of warning & when it began: no warning or symptoms really, just didn't work one minute, then worked momentarily and then didn't work and has not worked since. Was taking vehicle in for required state inspection on when the above described issue occurred, so went back home so it would not fail inspection. Occurred during daytime hours.

Headlights go out on there own and may come back on a few minutes later but right back out again. The vehicle had this as a recall but if it was repaired the repair is not working. The manufacturer is claiming the recall expired, obviously without them making contact to do the repair. Now they think it's good business practice to ignore their problem and put customers lives at risk.

Headlight's,taillight's,turn signals stop working whenever they want. It's pretty scary to lose your headlight's when your driving at night. There's nothing I can do about it,except to sit wherever it happend and wait for them to come back on. My wife was following me one day and told me my brakelight's and turn signal stopped working and started to work again,she said this happened a couple time's at the same red light. There a couple of thing's (electrical)inside the vehicle that don't work anymore but I really dont care about them. To get the odometer to work I have to knock pretty hard on the plastic cover that cover's the instrument cluster,sometimes it stay's on,most of the time it wont stay on. The dic (driver control center) doesn't work anymore. I cant even get to it. The speakers on the left side of the vehicle dont work anymore. I thought I would tell you about the inside also because it could be part of the problem. All of this happened when I was driving home from my daughter's two night's ago. I bought this vehicle about three or four's year's ago,and I had no problem's with it untill the other night. The person I bought it from is a good friend of mine. He said he never had a problem with it,plus I have been in this vehicle countless times,that's why I bought it. Thank you.

There are previously fixed recalls starting to pop up one at a time if they were fixed they wouldnt be back causing problems can someone check into this and let me know something I drive a 02 GMC Envoy slt 4x4 4. 2l. The mileage is unknown due to instrument cluster not working on the dic settings.

I was driving in the city at night time and my low beam lights quit working. I did not notice it right away because of the street lights. This could have caused an accident and put my husband, daughter and myself at risk.

I was driving to church on a major highway, it was raining and dark suddenly, my low beam lights went out. I stopped and turn the high beam on and when I turn the high beam off after 2 or 3 minutes the low beam came back on. The next day the same thing happened again on my way from work, driving down a city street and they just went off. I pull over and turn the high beam on and off for several minutes and they came back on. Really afraid now to drive at night. I used this vehicle for traveling on vacations, never had any problem with the lights until now.

Head lights will all at once go off while driving at night. I've replaced the hdm relay and it worked fine for a few months and then it done it again.

The lights come on by themselves and drains the battery. Two batteries have been installed. The car has had road service jump starts 3 times in 2 wks. The lights come on themselves when they'r'e off.

While driving on the highway at 65 mph, the third row floor got really hot and my children were saying their feet were really hot and we smelled something like plastic melting and my 15 year old cousins boot melted and the carpet melted and you can see metal. Once we arrived home the blinker stayed on and did not shut off until the battery died. Just before this happed the vehicle lost power and my husband had to put his foot on the gas all the way.

The standard headlamps inconsistently and often shut off. The bright lamps remain working, thank goodness. This happens usually when in motion, or right when the ignition is turned on. Weather does not seem to be a factor.

The vehicle shows that the fuel tank is on empty shortly after being filled up. Also the engine will die at randoms times driving down the road. Also the head lamps fail at random times.

My hedlights is not working. At night time while I am driving.

I received a letter from GMC in may stating there may be an issue with headlamp driver module (hdm) where the low beam headlamps will not work. At the time, my headlamps were working properly, so the letter advised me to not take my vehicle to my GMC dealer. However, two days ago my headlamps did not work at night while driving on the highway. This caused a severe safety issue as I could not see the road clearly. I took my vehicle and the letter I received to my GMC dealer. They advised me that GMC would not pay to fix the headlamp problem as I had more than 150,000 miles in a situation where customer safety is involved, I believe GMC should pay for the repairs. I had to pay for the repairs out-of-pocket. I strongly believe that this should be a safety recall notice initiated by the manufacturer to correct this issue. We should not have to wait for multiple accidents and traffic fatalities to prompt a recall for an important safety feature on a vehicle.

I filed a complaint with NHTSA, complaint 10923972, on 11/3/2016 referencing my dim lights spontaneously going out at night driving down the highway. I had researched this problem and found there was a recall because of the headlamp driver module failing, but my 2008 GMC Envoy was not included. I received a letter from GMC the end of may 2017 providing additional protection for this problem and it was worded "if this condition "occurs" on your 2008 GMC Envoy within 12 years or 150,000 miles the condition would be repaired at no charge. " when I received the may 2017 letter my vehicle had 152,000 miles on it but when I filed the complaint in November 2016 it had 142,000 miles on it. GMC refused to repair my vehicle under the additional protection because of current mileage even though I had proof the condition "occurred" at 142,000 miles.

I was driving at night and my low beam headlamps went out. They just went off. Panicking, I pulled off the road and tried turning them off and on. Testing, my high beams worked, but my lows were off. I turned the car off and waited a few minutes. Once turned back on, my lights worked. This the first time this happened, this has happened multiple times and there is no rhyme or reason and you never know when it will happen. I have seen this same issue with a year earlier and wonder if the problem extends to newer models. This recall should be extended to 2008 as it appears my vehicle is having the same issues. I have had diagnostics and replaced headlamps. . . The problem persists.
