My safety complaint is in regards to the gm safety recall 14291 low beam headlamps and drl could fail to illuminate. Ref no. 15v519000. I am experiencing the exact same problem described in this safety recall. My relay switch has failed and my low beam lamps do not function in my 2007 GMC Envoy. Luckily it happened when I was in my driveway and not on the street. However, gm and the dealer have stated that my vehicle is not included in the recall for some reason and they refuse to replace my faulty relay mentioned in the recall. I believe gm needs to extend the recall to include more 2007 GMC Envoy's. GMC customer service told me there is nothing they can do to help me. It is not safe to drive my car right now! please help.

For many, many, months my low beam lights have been going out while driving. All other lights including the high beams will work. It is very unsafe to be driving at night and have your lights go out. I have taken the vehicle to several different auto shops, but they can't find anything wrong. I have seen many complaints about this issue, so I know it is the vehicle. GMC needs to do the right thing and fix this problem. If GMC won't do it on their own, the NHTSA needs to get involved and get GMC to recall these vehicles and fix this problem. This is a very serious safety issue.

On December 20, 2015 we were traveling after dark (7:30 pm) and the head lamps went off. We managed to pull out of traffic safely. Could not figure out what happened. After sitting for approximately 5 minutes the lamps came back on and we were driving to our home and the lamps went off again. I took the vehicle to a chevy dealer and they could not help me. I then called the GMC dealer and got the same response. I then checked online and found out that gm knows of this problem which is caused by a headlamp module overheating. I know this problem is occurring to other people so why hasn't there been a recall. ? help.

Exterior lights will not come on. I work nights so it's imperative my lights are in good working condition. Driving 65 down a highway in the middle of the night and your lights shut off is a scary situation. I noticed a recall for this is under development. I'm not sure what that means and would appreciate clarification.

I was driving down the highway after dark and my low beams completely went out. I could only get my high beams to work. Currently only one low beam is working and the other will not work even after changing the bulb or the fuse. I believe this is a huge safety concern especially having a young child. It was very scary going down the road at night and have your lights completely just go out. I have noticed that there are issues with 06-07 Envoys but I wanted gm to be made aware that 2005 models have been affected as well.

While servicing my vehicle at an authorized gm dealership, I was notified of the recent recall regarding headlamps which get hot and can fail. It has been nearly 8 months since that recall was issued, and yet there remains no identifiable remedy or solution as to how they will resolve the issue and repair / replace the defective components. . Entitled to safe vehicles, I am unsure as to how or why gm would believe that 8 months to not even have announced a solution is an absurdity. At this point, the period of time in which the manufacturer has had to develop and implement a solution is simply unacceptable as a consumer. I am under the belief that their solution to the problem is simple, they are going let the vehicles age a few more years and hope by that time, additional vehicles requiring repair will no longer be on the road and the issue will magically go away. As owners of this vehicle, I am entitled to the remedy as promised under recall gm 14291, and I do not think that it is acceptable for manufacturers to sit on open recalls for vehicles currently on our roadways which have been already been identified as having a safety defect in need of defect replacement or repair.

Low beam lights failing intermittently. Lights shut off twice @ 9:30 pm on 5/16/2015 driving on divided highway at 65 mph. The lights started operating normally after pulling off on the shoulder both times. Researched the web and found this is a problem with probably the headlamp driver modules or relay. Drove the SUV to the GMC dealer today and they said they had no record of a recall for this unit and any work done on the problem would be billed to me. I left the dealer and called GMC and had them pull up this unit on their system and got the same run around. They finally told me that some 2007 GMC Envoys are being recalled for this condition but not mine. This is a scary condition and due to an extreme safety concern I purchased the relay at an auto parts store today for $38. 31 and installed it myself. This problem is probably more wide spread than GMC has reported.

The light relay switch is bad. At night the lights go out and will only work if I turn on the bright lights after a while they come back on. I have received a special recall notice from gm but they said that my VIN number is not included even though the year make and model is they will only fix if I pay for it not sure why all VIN numbers are not included in recall if I'm having this problem the another VIN number is and they pay for fixing it at 100% regardless of the mileage. I had called and asked about the problem when it first started going out they said it was cost over $200. 00 for the part. At that time I wasn't driving at night very little. But now I am and I need it fixed but they will not fix it under the special recall unless I pay for it. So I'm having to drive with my brights on when it goes out and I do not know when it will go out.
